Physiological Characterization of Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry in the CanCOLD Study: Implications for Exertional Dyspnea and Exercise Intolerance. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2024; 209:1314-1327. [PMID: 38170674 DOI: 10.1164/rccm.202307-1184oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Rationale: It is increasingly recognized that adults with preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) are prone to increased morbidity. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are unknown. Objectives: Evaluate the mechanisms of increased dyspnea and reduced exercise capacity in PRISm. Methods: We completed a cross-sectional analysis of the CanCOLD (Canadian Cohort Obstructive Lung Disease) population-based study. We compared physiological responses in 59 participants meeting PRISm spirometric criteria (post-bronchodilator FEV1 < 80% predicted and FEV1/FVC ⩾ 0.7), 264 control participants, and 170 ever-smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), at rest and during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Measurements and Main Results: Individuals with PRISm had lower total lung, vital, and inspiratory capacities than healthy controls (all P < 0.05) and minimal small airway, pulmonary gas exchange, and radiographic parenchymal lung abnormalities. Compared with healthy controls, individuals with PRISm had higher dyspnea/[Formula: see text]o2 ratio at peak exercise (4.0 ± 2.2 vs. 2.9 ± 1.9 Borg units/L/min; P < 0.001) and lower [Formula: see text]o2peak (74 ± 22% predicted vs. 96 ± 25% predicted; P < 0.001). At standardized submaximal work rates, individuals with PRISm had greater Vt/inspiratory capacity (Vt%IC; P < 0.001), reflecting inspiratory mechanical constraint. In contrast to participants with PRISm, those with COPD had characteristic small airways dysfunction, dynamic hyperinflation, and pulmonary gas exchange abnormalities. Despite these physiological differences among the three groups, the relationship between increasing dyspnea and Vt%IC during cardiopulmonary exercise testing was similar. Resting IC significantly correlated with [Formula: see text]o2peak (r = 0.65; P < 0.001) in the entire sample, even after adjusting for airflow limitation, gas trapping, and diffusing capacity. Conclusions: In individuals with PRISm, lower exercise capacity and higher exertional dyspnea than healthy controls were mainly explained by lower resting lung volumes and earlier onset of dynamic inspiratory mechanical constraints at relatively low work rates. Clinical trial registered with www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT00920348).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optoelectronic Plethysmography (OEP) is an effective method for evaluating thoracoabdominal kinematics. However, little is known about the viability and use the OEP in people with obesity. OBJECTIVE Summarize information on the use and feasibility of OEP in the assessment of thoracoabdominal kinematics in people with obesity. METHODS Studies were identified through PubMed, EMBASE, Science Direct, Web of Science and Scopus databases in the February 2021. RESULTS Six studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies used the OEP to assess abdominal and thoracic mobility in obese people of different BMI, using the default setting. No study reported the impossibility of using OEP in people with obesity. CONCLUSION Has been shown that it is possible to use the OEP in people with obesity with a BMI of up to 50 kg/m2. More studies are needed to demonstrate the feasibility of the method in people with a BMI greater than this value.

Abstract
During submaximal exercise, minute ventilation (V' E) increases in proportion to metabolic rate (i.e. carbon dioxide production (V' CO2 )) to maintain arterial blood gas homeostasis. The ratio V' E/V' CO2 , commonly termed ventilatory efficiency, is a useful tool to evaluate exercise responses in healthy individuals and patients with chronic disease. Emerging research has shown abnormal ventilatory responses to exercise (either elevated or blunted V' E/V' CO2 ) in some chronic respiratory and cardiovascular conditions. This review will briefly provide an overview of the physiology of ventilatory efficiency, before describing the ventilatory responses to exercise in healthy trained endurance athletes, patients with asthma, and patients with obesity. During submaximal exercise, the V' E/V' CO2 response is generally normal in endurance-trained individuals, patients with asthma and patients with obesity. However, in endurance-trained individuals, asthmatics who demonstrate exercise induced-bronchoconstriction, and morbidly obese individuals, the V' E/V' CO2 can be blunted at maximal exercise, likely because of mechanical ventilatory constraint.

Ventilatory Response at Rest and During Maximal Exercise Testing in Patients with Severe Obesity Before and After Sleeve Gastrectomy. Obes Surg 2021; 31:694-701. [PMID: 32851499 PMCID: PMC7847858 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-020-04944-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2020] [Revised: 08/18/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has become a widespread treatment option in patients affected by severe obesity. However, studies investigating the impact of the subsequent weight loss on the ventilatory response at rest and during physical exercise are lacking. METHODS This is an observational study on 46 patients with severe obesity (76% females), comparing parameters of ventilatory function 1 month before and 6 months after SG. Patients were first evaluated by resting spirometry and subsequently with an incremental, maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) on treadmill. RESULTS The important weight loss of 26.35 ± 6.17% of body weight (BMI from 43.59 ± 5.30 to 32.27 ± 4.84 kg/m2) after SG was associated with a significant improvement in lung volumes and flows during forced expiration at rest, while resting ventilation and tidal volume were reduced (all p ≤ 0.001). CPET revealed decreased ventilation during incremental exercise (p < 0.001), with a less shallow ventilatory pattern shown by a lower increase of breathing frequency (∆BFrest to AT p = 0.028) and a larger response of tidal volume (∆TVAT to Peak p < 0.001). Furthermore, a concomitant improvement of the calculated dead space ventilation, VE/VCO2 slope and peripheral oxygen saturation was shown (all p ≤ 0.002). Additionally, the increased breathing reserve at peak exercise was associated with a lower absolute oxygen consumption but improved exercise capacity and tolerance (all p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The weight loss induced by SG led to less burdensome restrictive limitations of the respiratory system and to a reduction of ventilation at rest and during exercise, possibly explained by an increased ventilatory efficiency and a decrease in oxygen demands.
