Implication

Hypothesis-generating for noninvasive bicarbonate estimation via gas analysis during exercise; larger validation studies needed before CPET adoption.

Key Points

To examine the reliability of estimating non-metabolic carbon dioxide output using respiratory gas analysis during incremental pedaling exercise.
Six healthy subjects (N=6) completed an incremental pedaling exercise test to exhaustion accompanied by breath-by-breath respiratory gas analysis and arterial blood sampling.
The rate of non-metabolic carbon dioxide output was calculated by subtracting projected metabolic carbon dioxide from actual output after the carbon dioxide threshold, determined via a modified V-Slope method.
Arterial blood samples were analyzed for bicarbonate, pH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and lactate concentrations to evaluate kinetics alongside respiratory metrics.
The rate of non-metabolic carbon dioxide output correlated significantly with arterial bicarbonate decrease after the carbon dioxide threshold (r=0.976, p<0.001), exhibiting matching kinetics throughout exercise.
Total non-metabolic carbon dioxide output correlated significantly with the net drop in bicarbonate between threshold and exhaustion (r=0.929, p<0.01) and overall arterial pH change (r=0.863, p<0.05).
Total non-metabolic carbon dioxide output showed no significant relationship with maximum ventilation (r=0.111, ns), indicating that hydrogen ion buffering rather than hyperventilation drives excess carbon dioxide release.

Main Result

Effect estimate: r=0.976

p-value: p=<0.001

Respiratory gas analysis provides a reliable estimation of non-metabolic CO2 output during incremental exercise, which correlates strongly with bicarbonate decrease.

Limitations

Small sample size of only 6 male subjects
Unclear if the method is applicable to exercise tests using different protocols
Further investigation needed for cases where changes in mixed venous PCO2 or addition rates of H+ and K+ to blood differ
