A. True.
B. True.
C. False. Reduction in the tidal volume would indicate respiratory depression. Volatile agents tend to cause dose related respiratory depression. Ideally, one would like to avoid this.
D. True.
F. False. The rate pressure product = heart rate x systolic blood pressure. It is an indirect measurement of myocardial workload and, therefore, oxygen consumption. An increase in rate pressure product would be dangerous in patients with ischaemic heart disease, where oxygen consumption would exceed supply.
