In heroin OD patient, what is the significance of a depressed respiratory effort? the respiratory depression is due to the drugs effect on the cerebral cortex, the respiratory depression due to the brains decreased responsiveness to PCO2, the respiratory depression due to the brains increased responsiveness to PCO2, the respiratory depression is due to the depression on the 10th cranial nerve which slows the HR.
