Augmented hypoxic ventilatory response in men at altitude

M. Sato, J. W. Severinghaus, F. L. Powell, F. D. Xu and M. J. Spellman Jr
Department of Anesthesia, University of California, San Francisco 94143.

To test the hypothesis that the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) of an individual is a constant unaffected by acclimatization, isocapnic 5-min step HVR, as delta VI/delta SaO2 (l.min-1.%-1, where VI is inspired ventilation and SaO2 is arterial O2 saturation), was tested in six normal males at sea level (SL), after 1-5 days at 3,810-m altitude (AL1-3), and three times over 1 wk after altitude exposure (PAL1-3). Equal medullary central ventilatory drive was sought at both altitudes by testing HVR after greater than 15 min of hyperoxia to eliminate possible ambient hypoxic ventilatory depression (HVD), choosing for isocapnia a P'CO2 (end tidal) elevated sufficiently to drive hyperoxic VI to 140 ml.kg-1.min-1. Mean P'CO2 was 45.4 +/- 1.7 Torr at SL and 33.3 +/- 1.8 Torr on AL3, compared with the respective resting control end-tidal PCO2 of 42.3 +/- 2.0 and 30.8 +/- 2.6 Torr. SL HVR of 0.91 +/- 0.38 was unchanged on AL1 (30 +/- 18 h) at 1.04 +/- 0.37 but rose (P less than 0.05) to 1.27 +/- 0.57 on AL2 (3.2 +/- 0.8 days) and 1.46 +/- 0.59 on AL3 (4.8 +/- 0.4 days) and remained high on PAL1 at 1.44 +/- 0.54 and PAL2 at 1.37 +/- 0.78 but not on PAL3 (days 4-7). HVR was independent of test SaO2 (range 60-90%). Hyperoxic HCVR (CO2 response) was increased on AL3 and PAL1. Arterial pH at congruent to 65% SaO2 was 7.378 +/- 0.019 at SL, 7.44 +/- 0.018 on AL2, and 7.412 +/- 0.023 on AL3.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
