Ventilatory muscle recruitment in exercise with O2 in obstructed patients with mild hypoxemia

Abstract: Respiratory muscle dysfunction limits exercise endurance in severe chronic airflow obstruction (CAO). To investigate whether inspiring O2 alters ventilatory muscle recruitment and improves exercise endurance, we recorded pleural (Ppl) and gastric (Pga) pressures while breathing air or 30% O2 during leg cycling in six patients with severe CAO, mild hypoxemia, and minimal arterial O2 desaturation with exercise. At rest, mean (+/- SD) transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) was lower inspiring 30% O2 compared with air … Show more

“…Firstly, the contribution of hypoxaemia to the exercise limitation is still uncertain, and the mechanisms by which oxygen affects exercise performance are complex [6][7][8][9][10][11]. The present study confirmed previous reports showing that the acute effects of oxygen, as well as the effects of training, correlated poorly with lung function parameters or blood gas values at rest or during exercise [5,6,17].…”

“…These acute effects of oxygen have been observed both in normoxic patients and in patients who are hypoxaemic at rest or during exercise. Several mechanisms may be involved, including reduction in ventilatory response to exercise (reduced ventilatory equivalent for carbon dioxide (V'E/V'CO 2 )) [6], ventilatory muscle recruitment [7] and delayed ventilatory muscle fatigue [8,9], improved aerobic capacity of the working muscles [10] and a reduction in breathlessness [11].…”

“…The PTPoes, PTPdi and PTPga have been used to assess respiratory muscle activity [8,9,13,18], and correlate well with measurements of the oxygen consumption of contracting respiratory muscles [19]. Alternative approaches include assessment of electromyographic activity [20,21] or the Poes:Pga ratio [22,23]. It should be noted that the PTP is not synonymous with work, which is the product of pressure and flow.…”

“…First, the impaired pulmonary gas exchange characterizing many of these patients often results in reduced hemoglobin saturation [arterial O 2 saturation by pulse oximetry (Sp O 2 )] compared with age-matched healthy control subjects at rest and especially during exercise (1,17,46,53). Second, patients with COPD experience expiratory flow limitation, hyperinflation, and greater respiratory muscle work (W r ) at any given level of exercise (65), which may or may not lead to inspiratory and/or expiratory muscle fatigue (36,38,42,56,57).…”
