Competing Interests
The authors have read the journal's policy and have the following conflicts: Gas control used to enable this study was via a computerized gas blender (RespirAct™, Thornhill Research Inc., Toronto, Canada) custom built for the University Health Network to enable such research. TRI is a for profit spin off of the University Health Network. JAF, DJM and JD are inventors of the RespirAct™ and shareholders in TRI. Should the RespirAct™ become a commercial product, JAF, DJM and JD could gain financially. This does not alter the authors' adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
