Ventilatory Response to Carbon Dioxide Inhalation in Depression

Abstract: The ventilatory response to carbon dioxide (CO2 response) was determined in 18 patients admitted to an inpatient service with endogenous depressive illness. Admission mean CO2 response value for the group was below the mean value for a control group. At the time of hospital discharge marked clinical improvement had occurred in depressive symptomatology; mean CO2 response had increased slightly and was no longer significantly below the control value. CO2 response deserves further investigation as a possible phy… Show more

“…To normalize the results across individuals, each graph portrays the degree of change in minute volume, at 1-min intervals, relative to the subject's baseline respiration (i.e., the mean minute volume while breathing air). Several individuals with bipolar I, all with bipolar II, and some with major depression had an inhibited response, as seen elsewhere with depression, 48,49 and many of the bipolar I cases displayed a striking deviation from the classic rise-plateau pattern described earlier and apparent in each of the subjects who did not have a major mood disorder.…”

“…The plateau effect is consistent with the natural tendency to optimize the balance of respiratory effort versus need (as signaled by elevated arterial CO 2 ) 47 . Individuals with major depression have been shown to mount an inhibited response to CO 2 48,49 . Individuals with a history of panic attacks tend to experience panic attacks on CO 2 and in the process, to hyperventilate 50,51 …”

“…There is evidence that depression is associated with a diminished hypercapnic ventilatory response (31-33) and reduced cerebral vasomotor reactivity to hypercapnia (34). These factors could prolong apnea/hypopnea episodes, leading to even greater sympathetic activation and cardiovascular strain during sleep.…”

“…Obstructive events terminate when chemoreceptors detect rising arterial CO 2 (hypercapnia) and signal respiratory centers in the brain to clear the airway and resume inspiration. There is evidence that depression in medically well psychiatric patients may blunt the respiratory response and delay the cortical arousal response to hypercapnia (58). A recent fMRI study of depressed patients with documented OSA found more lesions in the frontal cortex, insula, cingulate, and areas proximal to the amygdala and hippocampus in depressed compared to ND patients (9).…”
