The Cyclocapnic Method for Measurement of Chemosensitivity

NCT01049256 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 45

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We aim to test our method for measuring chemosensitivity (the ventilatory response to a change in carbon dioxide), which uses sinusoidal carbon dioxide stimuli.

Hypotheses:

* Carbon dioxide sensitivity is dependent on the cycle time over which we administer the gas (frequency).
* Chemoreflex gain decreases as deadspace increases.
