We studied blood gases in ponies to assess the relationship of alveolar ventilation (VA) to pulmonary CO2 delivery during moderate treadmill exercise. In normal ponies for 1.8, 3, or 6 mph, respectively, partial pressure of CO2 in arterial blood (PaCO2) decreased maximally by 3.1, 4.4, and 5.7 Torr at 30-90 s of exercise and remained below rest by 1.4, 2.3, and 4.5 Torr during steady-state (4-8 min) exercise (P less than 0.01). Partial pressure of O2 in arterial blood (PaO2) and arterial pH, (pHa) also reflected hyperventilation. Mixed venus CO2 partial pressure (PVCO2) decreased 2.3 and 2.9 Torr by 30 s for 3 and 6 mph, respectively (P less than 0.05). In work transitions either from 1.8 to 6 mph or from 6 mph to 1.8 mph, respectively, PaCO2 either decreased 3.8 Torr or increased 3.3 Torr by 45 s of the second work load (P less than 0.01). During exercise in acute (2-4 wk) carotid body denervated (CBD) ponies at 1.8, 3, or 6 mph, respectively, PaCO2 decreased maximally below rest by 9.0, 7.6, and 13.2 Torr at 30-45 s of exercise and remained below rest by 1.3, 2.3, and 7.8 Torr during steady-state (4-8 min) exercise (P less than 0.1). In the chronic (1-2 yr) CBD ponies, the hypocapnia was generally greater than normal but less than in the acute CBD ponies. We conclude that in the pony 1) VA is not tightly matched to pulmonary CO2 delivery during exercise, particularly during transitional states, 2) the exercise hyperpnea is not mediated by PaCO2 or PVCO2, and 3) during transitional states in the normal pony, the carotid bodies attenuate VA drive thereby reducing arterial hypocapnia. 相似文献

Independence of exercise hyperpnea and acidosis during high-intensity exercise in ponies 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We investigated arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) and pH (pHa) responses in ponies during 6-min periods of high-intensity treadmill exercise. Seven normal, seven carotid body-denervated (2 wk-4 yr) (CBD), and five chronic (1-2 yr) lung (hilar nerve)-denervated (HND) ponies were studied during three levels of constant load exercise (7 mph-11%, 7 mph-16%, and 7 mph-22% grade). Mean pHa for each group of ponies became alkaline in the first 60 s (between 7.45 and 7.52) (P less than 0.05) at all work loads. At 6 min pHa was at or above rest at 7 mph-11%, moderately acidic at 7 mph-16% (7.32-7.35), and markedly acidic at 7 mph-22% (7.20-7.27) for all groups of ponies. Yet with no arterial acidosis at 7 mph 11%, normal ponies decreased PaCO2 below rest (delta PaCO2) by 5.9 Torr at 90 s and 7.8 Torr by 6 min of exercise (P less than 0.05). With a progressively more acid pHa at the two higher work loads in normal ponies, delta PaCO2 was 7.3 and 7.8 Torr by 90 s and 9.9 and 11.4 Torr by 6 min, respectively (P less than 0.05). CBD ponies became more hypocapnic than the normal group at 90 s (P less than 0.01) and tended to have greater delta PaCO2 at 6 min. The delta PaCO2 responses in normal and HND ponies were not significantly different (P greater than 0.1).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We investigated changes in arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) and pulmonary ventilation (VE) in normal, carotid chemoreceptor-denervated, and hilar nerve-denervated ponies during intravenous lactic acid infusion at rest and treadmill exercise at 1.8 mph-5% grade (mild) and 1.8 mph-15% grade (moderate). Lactic acid, (0.5 M) infusion of 0.10, 0.13, and 0.20 ml.min-1.kg-1 at rest and mild and moderate exercise increased arterial [H+] linearly throughout the 10 min of acid infusion. At 10 min of infusion, arterial [H+] had increased approximately 20 nmol/l (0.2 pH units) for each condition and group. Under most conditions, the temporal pattern of PaCO2 during acid infusion was biphasic. At rest and during mild exercise in all groups, and in carotid chemoreceptor-denervated ponies during moderate exercise, PaCO2 increased approximately 2 Torr (P less than 0.05) during the first 2 min of acid infusion. However, in normal ponies during moderate exercise, PaCO2 was not changed from control in the first 2 min of infusion. Between 2 and 10 min of infusion at rest and mild and moderate exercise in all groups, there was a 5-Torr significant decrease in PaCO2, which did not differ (P greater than 0.10) between groups. VE increased between 15-30 s and 2 min of infusion, but VE changed minimally between 2 and 10 min of infusion at rest and exercise in all groups of ponies. We conclude that lactacidosis does increase VE at rest and submaximal exercise in the pony.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The major objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) does not change in transitions from rest to steady-state exercise and between two levels of exercise. Nine young adults exercised on a treadmill or a bicycle (sit or supine) for 5 min at a mild work load (heart rate = 90 beats X min-1) and then 3 min at a moderate work load (heart rate = 150 beats X min-1). In some studies the moderate work load preceded the mild work load. Arterial blood was sampled from a catheterized artery. During all exercise tasks isocapnia was not strictly maintained (F greater than 4.0, P less than 0.001). For example, a 1-to 2-Torr hypocapnia was the dominant trend during the first 15-45 s after increasing treadmill speed, and a transient hypercapnia was most prevalent when treadmill speed was decreased. During steady-state exercise PaCO2 did not deviate by more than 1-3 Torr from PaCO2 during any resting posture, and PaCO2 differences between exercise intensities and conditions did not exceed 1-2 Torr. A mouthpiece-breathing valve system was not used in most studies, but when this system was used, it did not consistently affect exercise PaCO2. Increasing inspired O2 to 40% likewise did not consistently alter exercise PaCO2. Failure to maintain isocapnia throughout exercise indicates that the matching of alveolar ventilation (VA) to lung CO2 delivery is not exquisitely precise. Accordingly it is inappropriate to base theories of the exercise hyperpnea on the heretofore contention of precise matching.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Exercise-induced hypercapnia in the horse 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The effects of exercise intensity and duration on blood gases in thoroughbred horses were studied to characterize the apparent exercise-induced failure in pulmonary gas exchange that occurs in these animals. In response to 2 min of exercise, arterial CO2 tension (PaCO2) decreased in mild and moderate exercise, returned to normocapnic levels in moderate to heavy exercise, and rose 5-10 Torr above resting values during very heavy exercise when CO2 production (VCO2) exceeded 20 times the resting value, and mixed venous CO2 tension approximated 140 Torr. Exercise-induced hypoxemia occurred at the onset of heavy exercise and was associated with the absence of a hyperventilatory response and an alveolar-arterial PO2 difference that increased four to six times above rest with very heavy exercise. PaCO2 was related to VCO2 but not fb, as changes in breathing frequency (fb) of 8-20 breaths/min at comparable VCO2 did not affect PaCO2. Prolonging very heavy exercise from 2 to 4 min caused a severe metabolic acidosis (arterial pH less than 7.15) and hypoxemia was maintained; however, CO2 was no longer retained, as PaCO2 gradually fell to below resting levels, due to an increased tidal volume at constant fb. We conclude that a truly compensatory hyperventilation to very heavy exercise in the horse is not achieved because of the excessive volumes and flow rates required by their extraordinarily high VCO2 and VO2. On the other hand, the frank CO2 retention during short-term high-intensity exercise occurs even though the horse is not apparently mechanically obligated to tolerate it. 相似文献

Our purpose was to assess compensatory breathing responses to airway resistance unloading in ponies. We hypothesized that the carotid bodies and hilar nerve afferents, respectively, sense chemical and mechanical changes caused by unloading, hence carotid body-denervated (CBD) and hilar nerve-denervated ponies (HND) might demonstrate greater ventilatory responses when decreasing resistance. At rest and during treadmill exercise, resistance was transiently reduced approximately 40% in five normal, seven CBD, and five HND ponies by breathing gas of 79% He-21% O2 (He-O2). In all groups at rest, He-O2 breathing did not consistently change ventilation (VE), breathing frequency (f), tidal volume (VT), or arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) from room air-breathing levels. During treadmill exercise at 1.8 mph-5% grade in normal and HND ponies, He-O2 breathing did not change PaCO2 but at moderate (6 mph-5% grade), and heavy (8 mph-8% grade) work loads, absolute PaCO2 tended to decrease by 1 min of resistance unloading. delta PaCO2 calculated as room air minus He-O2 breathing levels at 1 min demonstrated significant changes in PaCO2 during exercise resistance unloading (P less than 0.05). No difference between normal and HND ponies was found in exercise delta PaCO2 responses (P greater than 0.10); however, in CBD ponies, the delta PaCO2 during unloading was greater at any given work load (P less than 0.05), suggesting finer regulation of PaCO2 in ponies with intact carotid bodies. During heavy exercise VE and f increased during He-O2 breathing in all three groups of ponies (P less than 0.05), although there were no significant differences between groups (P greater than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Ventilatory response of spinal cord-lesioned subjects to electrically induced exercise 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Brown D. R.; Forster H. V.; Pan L. G.; Brice A. G.; Murphy C. L.; Lowry T. F.; Gutting S. M.; Funahashi A.; Hoffman M.; Powers S. 《Journal of applied physiology》1990,68(6):2312-2321
Seven human spinal cord-lesioned subjects (SPL) underwent electrically induced muscle contractions (EMC) of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles for 10 min: 5 min control, 2 min with venous return from the legs occluded, and 3 min postocclusion. Group mean changes in CO2 output compared with rest were +107 +/- 30.6, +21 +/- 25.7, and +192 +/- 37.0 (SE) ml/min during preocclusion, occlusion, and postocclusion EMC, respectively. Mean arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) obtained from catheterized radial arteries at 15- to 30-s intervals showed a significant (P less than 0.05) hypocapnia (36.2 Torr) during occlusion and a significant (P less than 0.05) hypercapnia (38.1 Torr) postocclusion relative to a group mean preocclusion EMC PaCO2 of 37.5 Torr. Relative to preocclusion EMC, expired ventilation (VE) decreased during occlusion and increased after release of occlusion. However, changes in VE always occurred after changes in end-tidal PCO2 (mean 41 s after occlusion and 10 s after release of occlusion). In the two subjects investigated during hyperoxia, the VE and PaCO2 responses to occlusion and release did not differ from normoxia. We conclude that the data do not support mediation of the EMC hyperpnea in SPL by humoral mechanisms that others have proposed for mediation of the exercise hyperpnea in spinal cord-intact humans. 相似文献

We assessed in ponies the adequacy of using rectal (Tre) rather than arterial temperature (Tar) under conditions common to ventilatory control experiments, i.e., CO2 breathing, thermal stress, and particularly exercise. We were interested in whether, and to what extent, Tar-Tre differences could lead to errors in arterial blood gas corrections. At control environmental temperatures (Ta) of 5 degrees C in the winter and 21 degrees C in the summer, Tar and Tre (37.1 degrees C) did not differ (P greater than 0.05). Elevating winter or summer Ta by 10-18 degrees C for 2-days or lowering summer Ta by 9 degrees C (2-days) did not change Tar or Tre (P greater than 0.05). Furthermore, elevating inspired PCO2 to 42 Torr for 15 min did not alter Tar or Tre from control (P greater than 0.05). During treadmill exercise, at 1.8 mph 5% grade, Tar and Tre did not change significantly (P greater than 0.05) from rest by 11 min of work. At 3 mph 5% grade, Tar increased progressively by 0.3 degrees C (P less than 0.05) while Tre tended to increase 0.1 degree C by 11 min. During moderate exercise at 6 mph 5% grade, Tar increased 0.9 degree C (P less than 0.05) while Tre increased 0.25 degree C (P less than 0.05). Finally, by 6 min of heavy exercise at 8 mph 20% grade, Tar increased 2 degrees C (P less than 0.05) while Tre increased 0.5 degree C (P less than 0.05). The Tar-Tre differences during the latter three work loads were statistically significant (P less than 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Hypoxia potentiates the ventilatory response to exercise, eliciting a greater decrease in arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) from rest to exercise than in normoxia. The mechanism of this hypoxia-exercise interaction requires intact carotid chemoreceptors. To determine whether carotid chemoreceptor stimulation alone is sufficient to elicit the mechanism without whole body hypoxia, ventilatory responses to treadmill exercise were compared in goats during hyperoxic control conditions, moderate hypoxia (PaO2 = 38-44 Torr), and peripheral chemoreceptor stimulation with the peripheral dopamine D2-receptor antagonist, domperidone (Dom; 0.5 mg/kg iv). Measurements with Dom were made in both hyperoxia (Dom) and hypoxia (Dom/hypoxia). Finally, ventilatory responses to inspired CO2 at rest were compared in each experimental condition because enhanced CO2 chemoreception might be expected to blunt the PaCO2 decrease during exercise. At rest, PaCO2 decreased from control with Dom (-5.0 +/- 0.9 Torr), hypoxia (-4.1 +/- 0.5 Torr), and Dom/hypoxia (-11.1 +/- 1.2 Torr). The PaCO2 decrease from rest to exercise was not significantly different between control (-1.7 +/- 0.6 Torr) and Dom (-1.4 +/- 0.8 Torr) but was significantly greater in hypoxia (-4.3 +/- 0.7 Torr) and Dom/hypoxia (-3.5 +/- 0.9 Torr). The slope of the ventilation vs. CO2 production relationship in exercise increased with Dom (16%), hypoxia (18%), and Dom/hypoxia (68%). Ventilatory responses to inspired CO2 at rest increased from control to Dom (236%) and Dom/hypoxia (295%) and increased in four of five goats in hypoxia (mean 317%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Eight normal subjects were decompressed to barometric pressure (PB) = 240 Torr over 40 days. The ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) distribution was estimated at rest and during exercise [up to 80-90% maximal O2 uptake (VO2 max)] by the multiple inert gas elimination technique at sea level and PB = 428, 347, 282, and 240 Torr. The dispersion of the blood flow distribution increased by 64% from rest to 281 W, at both sea level and at PB = 428 Torr (heaviest exercise 215 W). At PB = 347 Torr, the increase was 79% (rest to 159 W); at PB = 282 Torr, the increase was 112% (108 W); and at PB = 240 Torr, the increase was 9% (60 W). There was no significant correlation between the dispersion and cardiac output, ventilation, or pulmonary arterial wedge pressure, but there was a correlation between the dispersion and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (r = 0.49, P = 0.02). When abnormal, the VA/Q pattern generally had perfusion in lung units of zero or near zero VA/Q combined with units of normal VA/Q. Alveolar-end-capillary diffusion limitation of O2 uptake (VO2) was observed at VO2 greater than 3 l/min at sea level, greater than 1-2 l/min VO2 at PB = 428 and 347 Torr, and at higher altitudes, at VO2 less than or equal to 1 l/min. These results show variable but increasing VA/Q mismatch with long-term exposure to both altitude and exercise. The VA/Q pattern and relationship to pulmonary arterial pressure are both compatible with alveolar interstitial edema as the primary cause of inequality. 相似文献

We studied the role of central command mediation of exercise hyperpnea by comparing the ventilatory and arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) responses to voluntary (ExV) and electrically induced (ExE) muscle contractions in normal, awake human subjects. We hypothesized that if central command signals are critical to a normal ventilatory response, then ExE should cause a slower ventilatory response resulting in hypercapnia at the onset of exercise. ExE was induced through surface electrodes placed over the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. ExE and ExV produced leg extension (40/min) against a spring load that increased CO2 production (VCO2) 100-1,000 ml/min above resting level. PaCO2 and arterial pH during work transitions and in the steady state did not differ significantly from rest (P greater than 0.05) or between ExE and ExV. The temporal pattern of ventilation, tidal volume, breathing frequency, and inspired and expired times, and the ventilation-VCO2 relationship were similar between ExE and ExV. We conclude that since central command was reduced and/or eliminated by ExE, central command is not requisite for the precise matching of alveolar ventilation to increases in VCO2 during low-intensity muscle contractions. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of selective large changes in the acid-base environment of medullary chemoreceptors on the control of exercise hyperpnea in unanesthetized goats. Four intact and two carotid body-denervated goats underwent cisternal perfusion with mock cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of markedly varying [HCO-3] (CSF [H+] = 21-95 neq/l; pH 7.68-7.02) until a new steady state of alveolar hypo- or hyperventilation was reached [arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) = 31-54 Torr]. Perfusion continued as the goats completed two levels of steady-state treadmill walking [2 to 4-fold increase in CO2 production (VCO2)]. With normal acid-base status in CSF, goats usually hyperventilated slightly from rest through exercise (-3 Torr PaCO2, rest to VCO2 = 1.1 l/min). Changing CSF perfusate [H+] changed the level of resting PaCO2 (+6 and -4 Torr), but with few exceptions, the regulation of PaCO2 during exercise (delta PaCO2/delta VCO2) remained similar regardless of the new ventilatory steady state imposed by changing CSF [H+]. Thus the gain (slope) of the ventilatory response to exercise (ratio of change in alveolar ventilation to change in VCO2) must have increased approximately 15% with decreased resting PaCO2 (acidic CSF) and decreased approximately 9% with increased resting PaCO2 (alkaline CSF). A similar effect of CSF [H+] on resting PaCO2 and on delta PaCO2/VCO2 during exercise also occurred in two carotid body-denervated goats. Our results show that alteration of the gain of the ventilatory response to exercise occurs on acute alterations in resting PaCO2 set point (via changing CSF [H+]) and that the primary stimuli to exercise hyperpnea can operate independently of central or peripheral chemoreception. 相似文献

We assessed cardiovascular variables and blood O2 contents in order to characterize O2 transport in ponies during treadmill exercise. In normal ponies at 1.8, 3, and 6 mph, respectively, cardiac output (Qc) increased from 12 l/min at rest to maximum levels of 19.7, 28.7, and 39.9 l/min between 30 and 60 s. Qc then decreased to steady-state levels of 18.2, 24.6, and 32.7 l/min by 4 min. Heart rate (HR) showed a similar biphasic response in the 1st min of exercise. Systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure (BP) decreased at the onset of exercise by 20-25 Torr (P less than 0.05) and then increased to a steady-state by 60 s. Mean right ventricular pressures (MRVBP) increased from approximately 9.7 Torr at rest to 15.9 (1.8 mph), 15.2 (3 mph), and 23.6 Torr (6 mph) by 1 min and then decreased throughout the remainder of the 8 min of exercise (P less than 0.05). At 3 and 6 mph, respectively, arterial O2 content (CaO2) increased from 11.6 vol% at rest to 12.7 and 15.0 vol% by 45 s and 13.1 and 16.6 vol% by 7 min. At 7 min of 9.3 mph exercise, it increased to 20.34 vol%. Hemoglobin (Hb) at 3 mph increased from 9.6 g/100 ml at rest to 10.5 g/100 ml by 45 s and 11.7 g/100 ml by 7 min. At 6 mph, Hb increased to 12 g/100 ml at 45 s and 13.0 g/100 ml by 7 min of exercise. These data demonstrate that the rapid, work load-dependent increase in CaO2 represents an important mechanism to increase O2 transport in exercising ponies.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The major objective was to determine in ponies whether factors in addition to changes in blood PCO2 contribute to changes in plasma [H+] during submaximal exercise. Measurements were made to establish in vivo plasma [H+] at rest and during submaximal exercise, and CO2 titration of blood was completed for both in vitro and acute in vivo conditions. In 19 ponies arterial plasma [H+] was decreased from rest 4.5 neq/l (P less than 0.05) during the 7th min of treadmill running at 6 mph, 5% grade (P less than 0.5). A 5.6-Torr exercise hypocapnia accounted for approximately 2.9 neq/l of this reduced [H+]. The non-PCO2 component of this alkalosis was approximately neq/l, and it was due presumably to a 1.7-meq/l increase from rest in the plasma strong ion difference (SID). Despite the arterial hypocapnia, mixed venous PCO2 was 2.7 Torr above rest during steady-state exercise. Nevertheless, mixed venous plasma [H+] was 1.2 neq/l above rest during exercise, which was presumably due to the increase in SID. Also studied was the effect of submaximal exercise on whole blood CO2 content (CCO2). In vitro, at a given PCO2 there was minimal difference in CCO2 between rest and exercise blood, but plasma [HCO3-] was greater for exercise blood than for rest blood. In vivo, during steady-state exercise, arterial plasma blood. In vivo, during steady-state exercise, arterial plasma [HCO3-] was unchanged or slightly elevated from rest, but CaCO2 was 4 vol% below rest.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

To determine the importance of nonhumoral drives to exercise hyperpnea in birds, we exercised adult White Pekin ducks on a treadmill (3 degrees incline) at 1.44 km X h-1 for 15 min during unidirectional artificial ventilation. Intrapulmonary gas concentrations and arterial blood gases could be regulated with this ventilation procedure while allowing ventilatory effort to be measured during both rest and exercise. Ducks were ventilated with gases containing either 4.0 or 5.0% CO2 in 19% O2 (balance N2) at a flow rate of 12 l X min-1. At that flow rate, arterial CO2 partial pressure (PaCO2) could be maintained within +/- 2 Torr of resting values throughout exercise. Arterial O2 partial pressure did not change significantly with exercise. Heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, and mean right ventricular pressure increased significantly during exercise. On the average, minute ventilation (used as an indicator of the output from the central nervous system) increased approximately 400% over resting levels because of an increase in both tidal volume and respiratory frequency. CO2-sensitivity curves were obtained for each bird during rest. If the CO2 sensitivity remained unchanged during exercise, then the observed 1.5 Torr increase in PaCO2 during exercise would account for only about 6% of the total increase in ventilation over resting levels. During exercise, arterial [H+] increased approximately 4 nmol X l-1; this increase could account for about 18% of the total rise in ventilation. We conclude that only a minor component of the exercise hyperpnea in birds can be accounted for by a humoral mechanism; other factors, possibly from muscle afferents, appear responsible for most of the hyperpnea observed in the running duck. 相似文献

Control of exercise hyperpnea during hypercapnia in humans 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Previous studies have yielded conflicting results on the ventilatory response to CO2 during muscular exercise. To obviate possible experimental errors contributing to such variability, we have examined the CO2-exercise interaction in terms of the ventilatory response to exercise under conditions of controlled hypercapnia. Eight healthy male volunteers underwent a sequence of 5-min incremental treadmill exercise runs from rest up to a maximum CO2 output (VCO2) of approximately 1.5 l . min-1 in four successive steps. The arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) at rest was stabilized at the control level or up to 14 Torr above control by adding 0-6% CO2 to the inspired air. Arterial isocapnia (SD = 1.2 Torr) throughout each exercise run was maintained by continual adjustment of the inspired PCO2. At all PaCO2 levels the response in total ventilation (VE) was linearly related to exercise VCO2. Hypercapnia resulted in corresponding increases in both the slope (S) and zero intercept (V0) of the VE-VCO2 curve; these being directly proportional to the rise in PaCO2 (means +/- SE: delta S/ delta PaCO2, 2.73 +/- 0.28 Torr-1; delta V0/ delta PaCO2, 1.67 +/- 0.18 l . min-1 . Torr-1). Thus the ventilatory response to concomitant hypercapnia and exercise was characterized by a synergistic (additive plus multiplicative) effect, suggesting a positive interaction between these stimuli. The increased exercise sensitivity in hypercapnia is qualitatively consistent with the hypothesis that VE is controlled to minimize the conflicting challenges due to chemical drive and the mechanical work of breathing (Poon, C. S. In: Modelling and Control of Breathing, New York: Elsevier, 1983, p. 189-196). 相似文献

Previous studies (J. Appl. Physiol. 58: 978-988 and 989-995, 1985) have shown both worsening ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) relationships and the development of diffusion limitation during heavy exercise at sea level and during hypobaric hypoxia in a chamber [fractional inspired O2 concentration (FIO2) = 0.21, minimum barometric pressure (PB) = 429 Torr, inspired O2 partial pressure (PIO2) = 80 Torr]. We used the multiple inert gas elimination technique to compare gas exchange during exercise under normobaric hypoxia (FIO2 = 0.11, PB = 760 Torr, PIO2 = 80 Torr) with earlier hypobaric measurements. Mixed expired and arterial respiratory and inert gas tensions, cardiac output, heart rate (HR), minute ventilation, respiratory rate (RR), and blood temperature were recorded at rest and during steady-state exercise in 10 normal subjects in the following order: rest, air; rest, 11% O2; light exercise (75 W), 11% O2; intermediate exercise (150 W), 11% O2; heavy exercise (greater than 200 W), 11% O2; heavy exercise, 100% O2 and then air; and rest 20 minutes postexercise, air. VA/Q inequality increased significantly during hypoxic exercise [mean log standard deviation of perfusion (logSDQ) = 0.42 +/- 0.03 (rest) and 0.67 +/- 0.09 (at 2.3 l/min O2 consumption), P less than 0.01]. VA/Q inequality was improved by relief of hypoxia (logSDQ = 0.51 +/- 0.04 and 0.48 +/- 0.02 for 100% O2 and air breathing, respectively). Diffusion limitation for O2 was evident at all exercise levels while breathing 11% O2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Carotid body-denervated (CBD) ponies have a less than normal increase in arterial PCO2 (PaCO2) when inspired CO2 (PICO2) is increased, even when pulmonary ventilation (VE) and breathing frequency (f) are normal. We studied six tracheostomized ponies to determine whether this change 1) might be due to increased alveolar ventilation (VA) secondary to a reduction in upper airway dead space (VD) or 2) is dependent on an upper airway sensory mechanism. Three normal and three chronic CBD ponies were studied while they were breathing room air and at 14, 28, and 42 Torr PICO2. While the ponies were breathing room air, physiological VD was 483 and 255 ml during nares breathing (NBr) and tracheostomy breathing (TBr), respectively. However, at elevated PICO2, mixed expired PCO2 often exceeded PaCO2; thus we were unable to calculate physiological VD using the Bohr equation. At all PICO2 in normal ponies, PaCO2 was approximately 0.3 Torr greater during NBr than during TBr (P less than 0.05). In CBD ponies this NBr-TBr difference was only evident while breathing room air and at 28 Torr PICO2. At each elevated PICO2 during both NBr and TBr, the increase in PaCO2 above control was always less in CBD ponies than in normal ponies (P less than 0.01). The VE-PaCO2, f-PaCO2, and tidal volume-PaCO2 relationships did not differ between NBr and TBr (P greater than 0.10) nor did they differ between normal and CBD ponies (P greater than 0.10). We conclude that the attenuated increase in PaCO2 during CO2 inhalation after CBD is not due to a relative increase in VA secondary to reducing upper airway VD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Mechanism of exercise-induced hypoxemia in horses 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Arterial hypoxemia has been reported in horses during heavy exercise, but its mechanism has not been determined. With the use of the multiple inert gas elimination technique, we studied five horses, each on two separate occasions, to determine the physiological basis of the hypoxemia that developed during horizontal treadmill exercise at speeds of 4, 10, 12, and 13-14 m/s. Mean, blood temperature-corrected, arterial PO2 fell from 89.4 Torr at rest to 80.7 and 72.1 Torr at 12 and 13-14 m/s, respectively, whereas corresponding PaCO2 values were 40.3, 40.3, and 39.2 Torr. Alveolar-arterial PO2 differences (AaDO2) thus increased from 11.4 Torr at rest to 24.9 and 30.7 Torr at 12 and 13-14 m/s. In 8 of the 10 studies there was no change in ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) relationships with exercise (despite bronchoscopic evidence of airway bleeding in 3) and total shunt was always less than 1% of the cardiac output. Below 10 m/s, the AaDO2 was due only to VA/Q mismatch, but at higher speeds, diffusion limitation of O2 uptake was increasingly evident, accounting for 76% of the AaDO2 at 13-14 m/s. Most of the exercise-induced hypoxemia is thus the result of diffusion limitation with a smaller contribution from VA/Q inequality and essentially none from shunting. 相似文献

The relative roles of ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) inequality, alveolar-capillary diffusion resistance, postpulmonary shunt, and gas phase diffusion limitation in determining arterial PO2 (PaO2) were assessed in nine normal unacclimatized men at rest and during bicycle exercise at sea level and three simulated altitudes (5,000, 10,000, and 15,000 ft; barometric pressures = 632, 523, and 429 Torr). We measured mixed expired and arterial inert and respiratory gases, minute ventilation, and cardiac output. Using the multiple inert gas elimination technique, PaO2 and the arterial O2 concentration expected from VA/Q inequality alone were compared with actual values, lower measured PaO2 indicating alveolar-capillary diffusion disequilibrium for O2. At sea level, alveolar-arterial PO2 differences were approximately 10 Torr at rest, increasing to approximately 20 Torr at a metabolic consumption of O2 (VO2) of 3 l/min. There was no evidence for diffusion disequilibrium, similar results being obtained at 5,000 ft. At 10 and 15,000 ft, resting alveolar-arterial PO2 difference was less than at sea level with no diffusion disequilibrium. During exercise, alveolar-arterial PO2 difference increased considerably more than expected from VA/Q mismatch alone. For example, at VO2 of 2.5 l/min at 10,000 ft, total alveolar-arterial PO2 difference was 30 Torr and that due to VA/Q mismatch alone was 15 Torr. At 15,000 ft and VO2 of 1.5 l/min, these values were 25 and 10 Torr, respectively. Expected and actual PaO2 agreed during 100% O2 breathing at 15,000 ft, excluding postpulmonary shunt as a cause of the larger alveolar-arterial O2 difference than accountable by inert gas exchange.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献
