Effect of elastic loading on ventilatory pattern during progressive exercise

A. D. D'Urzo, K. R. Chapman and A. S. Rebuck

Ventilatory responses to progressive exercise, with and without an inspiratory elastic load (14.0 cmH2O/l), were measured in eight healthy subjects. Mean values for unloaded ventilatory responses were 24.41 +/- 1.35 (SE) l/l CO2 and 22.17 +/- 1.07 l/l O2 and for loaded responses were 24.15 +/- 1.93 l/l CO2 and 20.41 +/- 1.66 l/l O2 (P greater than 0.10, loaded vs. unloaded). At levels of exercise up to 80% of maximum O2 consumption (VO2max), minute ventilation (VE) during inspiratory elastic loading was associated with smaller tidal volume (mean change = 0.74 +/- 0.06 ml; P less than 0.05) and higher breathing frequency (mean increase = 10.2 +/- 0.98 breaths/min; P less than 0.05). At levels of exercise greater than 80% of VO2max and at exhaustion, VE was decreased significantly by the elastic load (P less than 0.05). Increases in respiratory rate at these levels of exercise were inadequate to maintain VE at control levels. The reduction in VE at exhaustion was accompanied by significant decreases in O2 consumption and CO2 production. The changes in ventilatory pattern during extrinsic elastic loading support the notion that, in patients with fibrotic lung disease, mechanical factors may play a role in determining ventilatory pattern.
