Key result
A modified rebreathing method demonstrated that sub-threshold ventilation (3.1 l/min) was significantly lower than resting ventilation (9.1 l/min, P<0.001).
Why the study?
Does the chemoreflex drive contribute to resting ventilation in humans?
Does the chemoreflex drive contribute to resting ventilation in humans?
Absolute Event Rate: 3.1% vs 9.1%
p-value: p=<0.001
Both behavioural and chemoreflex drives contribute significantly to resting ventilation in humans.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Chemoreflex contributes to resting ventilation with behavioural drive; leaves open translation to clinical respiratory management.
Mahamed et al. (2001) studied this question. Modified rebreathing method vs. Resting breathing was evaluated on Ventilation (p=<0.001). A modified rebreathing method demonstrated that sub-threshold ventilation (3.1 l/min) was significantly lower than resting ventilation (9.1 l/min, P<0.001).
