Respiratory parameters warrant control during HRV assessment in awake patients; leaves open anesthesia-specific effects and requires prospective validation.
Do changes in PaCO2, tidal volume, and respiratory rate affect heart rate variability in conscious and anesthetized individuals?
Respiratory parameters and PaCO2 significantly modulate heart rate variability in conscious individuals, highlighting the need to control these variables during HRV assessment.
Pöyhönen et al. (2003) studied this question.
