Clinical Trial Summary

For almost a century, many hypotheses have converged on the idea of altered chemosensitivity in patients suffering from hyperventilation syndrome (HVS). Given the evolution of current technical equipment and the ability to maximise true positives in HVS ( using the revised hyperventilation provocation test), it seems reasonable to investigate central and peripheral chemosensitivities in HVS subjects.


Description:

In the inter-war period, many medical investigators who studied the hyperventilation syndrome (HVS) had already questioned the chemosensitivity to CO2 in HVS patients, without being able to explore it for all intents and purposes. It was subsequently observed that although HVS is not systematically linked to manifest resting hypocapnia, it is nevertheless systematically correlated with significant variability and complexity of ventilation. This is consistent with the observations of an increased plant gain in HVS, to be related to an increased loop gain (due to instability of controller gain feedback). On the other hand, some authors already noted that, when capnia is chronically compromised in HVS, it can be greatly altered by small, transient and barely perceptible increases in VE: a 10% increase in VE could indeed halve PetCO2, while a sigh would be able to decrease PetCO2 by up to 15mmHg. More recently, teh assumption was made that peripheral chemosensitivity may be impaired in HVS patients. For all these considerations, it seems reasonable to investigate central and peripheral chemosensitivities in identified HVS subjects on the basis of an objective test, such as the induced hyperventilation test.

Study Design


Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
Hypercapnic hyperoxic ventilatory response
The hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR) described by Read in 1967 (Read's rebreathing method) is a clinical way to assess the central and peripheric sensitivity to CO2, using a small bag (4-6 l) to achieve prompt equilibrium between the apparatus compartments and the lungs. By rebreathing a hyperoxic mixture with an initial composition of 70% O2, 7% CO2 and 23% N2, this equilibrium is assumed to be achieved after 15 seconds of rebreathing, when the relationship between VE and PetCO2 has become linear.
Hypoxic eucapnic ventilatory response
The hypoxic eucapnic ventilatory response (HOVR) is a clinical way to assess the peripheric chemosensitivity to O2, using a small bag (4-6 l) to rebreathe a gas mixture initially composed of 20% O2, 0% CO2 and ?% N2. Eucapnia is achieved by the activation of a CO2 reabsorption cell during the course of the test.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The slope of the ventilatory response to hypercapnia (HCVR) Ventilation increase (litres/min) per unit increase in PetCO2 (mmHg) using Read's method baseline - during the test
Primary The slope of the ventilatory response to hypoxia (HOVR) Ventilation increase (litres/min) per unit decrease in SpO2 (%) using Read's method baseline - during the test
Primary Ventilatory recruitment threshold (VRT) of the HCVR From the average baseline ventilation and PetCO2, the VRT id the PetCO2 level at which the ventilatory response is activated baseline - during the test
Primary Ventilatory recruitment threshold (VRT) of the HOVR From the average baseline ventilation and SpO2, the VRT is the level of SpO2 at which the ventilatory response is activated baseline - during the test
Secondary Extrapolated apnoeic threshold of the HCVR PetCO2 level above which apnoea (zero ventilation) is disrupted, obtained from the extrapolation of the HCVR at the X-axis intersection (when VE=0 l/min) baseline - during the test
Secondary Dyspnea Visual analogic scale (VAS) of dyspnea, from 0 (no dyspnea) to 10 (maximal dyspnea) baseline, end of the test
