Endurance of hyperventilation in chronic airflow limitation

Chest

Abstract

The capacity to sustain an increase in ventilation (VE) sufficient to decrease the end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PETCO2) by about 10 mm Hg was studied in six hypercapnic patients with moderate to severe chronic airflow limitation (CAL). Patients could continue such an increased VE for a finite time (range 5 to 54 minutes). During hyperventilation (H), ventilation was approximately doubled and represented 77.1 +/- 8.4 (mean +/- SE) percent of maximum voluntary ventilation, mean oxygen consumption (VO2) increased 44 percent (p less than 0.005) and mean inspiratory pleural pressure (Ppl) swings were 43.8 +/- 10.5 percent of maximum Ppl. Four patients achieved reductions of PETCO2 less than 10 mm Hg, and two patients achieved or exceeded the target decrease in PETCO2. The decrease in PaCO2 was correlated with the wasted ventilation ratios (VD/VT) during H, the greatest decrease in PaCO2 being related to the lowest VD/VT (p less than 0.05). Electromyographic (EMG) evidence of inspiratory muscle fatigue developed in four of the six patients during H. Five normal subjects achieved an equal or greater decrease in PETCO2, and none showed EMG evidence of inspiratory muscle fatigue. We conclude that, although impaired gas ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
