Reproducibility of hypercapnic ventilatory response measurements with steady-state and rebreathing methods
In this study, the hypercapnic ventilatory response (HCVR) was measured, defined as the ventilation response to carbon dioxide tension (PCO2). We investigated which method, rebreathing or steady-state, is most suitable for measurement of the HCVR in healthy subjects, primarily based on reproducibili...
