Changes in cardiac output during sustained maximal ventilation in humans

J. D. Anholm, R. L. Johnson and M. Ramanathan

To determine the increment in cardiac output and in O2 consumption (Vo2) from quiet breathing to maximal sustained ventilation, Vo2 and cardiac output were measured using an acetylene rebreathing technique in five subjects. Cardiac output and Vo2 were measured multiple times in each subject at rest and during sustained maximal ventilation. During maximal ventilation subjects breathed 5% CO2 to prevent hypocapnia. The increase in cardiac output from rest to maximal breathing was taken as an estimate of respiratory muscle blood flow and was used to calculate the arteriovenous O2 content difference across the respiratory muscles from the Fick equation. Cardiac output increased by 4.3 +/- 1.0 l/min (mean +/- SD), from 5.6 +/- 0.7 l/min at rest to 9.9 +/- 1.1 l/min, during maximal ventilations ranging from 127 to 193 l/min. Vo2 increased from 312 +/- 29 to 723 +/- 69 ml/min during maximal ventilation. O2 extraction across the respiratory muscles during maximal breathing was 9.6 +/- 1.0 vol% (range 8.5 to 10.7 vol%). These values suggest an upper limit of respiratory muscle blood flow of 3-5 l/min during unloaded maximal sustained ventilation.
