Oh yes.   I can attest, unless you are unconscious, a respirator draws copious amounts of air (sucks hard).  When I crashed with pneumonia after my final cancer surgery, I was on propofol and a respirator for just about 2 weeks.  No food, only ice chips for water.   Feeding is done by IV.  Awful to wake up to.   I am glad your friend is better.
