Transcutaneous CO2 plateau as set-point for respiratory drive during upper airway flow-limitation

Transcutaneous CO2 plateau as set-point for respiratory drive during upper airway flow-limitation

Highlights • Transcutaneous CO2 increases during progressive flow limitation. • Respiratory efforts during flow limitation remain low until tcCO2 plateau is reached. • Respiratory efforts during flow limitation increase when tcCO2 exceeds the plateau. • TcCO2 plateau may help to identify clinically...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Transcutaneous CO2 increases during progressive flow limitation. • Respiratory efforts during flow limitation remain low until tcCO2 plateau is reached. • Respiratory efforts during flow limitation increase when tcCO2 exceeds the plateau. • TcCO2 plateau may help to identify clinically significant flow limitation.
