Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation with variable tidal volumes (V-VCV) has the potential to improve lung function during general anesthesia. We tested the hypothesis that V-VCV compared to conventional volume-controlled ventilation (C-VCV) would improve intraoperative arterial oxygenation and respiratory system mechanics in patients undergoing thoracic surgery under one-lung ventilation (OLV). METHODS Patients were randomized to V-VCV (n = 39) or C-VCV (n = 39). During OLV tidal volume of 5 mL/kg predicted body weight (PBW) was used. Both groups were ventilated with a positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) of 5 cm H2O, inspiration to expiration ratio (I:E) of 1:1 (during OLV) and 1:2 during two-lung ventilation, the respiratory rate (RR) titrated to arterial pH, inspiratory peak-pressure ≤ 40 cm H2O and an inspiratory oxygen fraction of 1.0. RESULTS Seventy-five out of 78 Patients completed the trial and were analyzed (dropouts were excluded). The partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2) 20 min after the start of OLV did not differ among groups (V-VCV: 25.8 ± 14.6 kPa vs C-VCV: 27.2 ± 15.3 kPa; mean difference [95% CI]: 1.3 [-8.2, 5.5], P = 0.700). Furthermore, intraoperative gas exchange, intraoperative adverse events, need for rescue maneuvers due to desaturation and hypercapnia, incidence of postoperative pulmonary and extra-pulmonary complications, and hospital free days at day 30 after surgery did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS In thoracic surgery patients under OLV, V-VCV did not improve oxygenation or respiratory system mechanics compared to C-VCV. Ethical Committee: EK 420092019. TRIAL REGISTRATION at the German Clinical Trials Register: DRKS00022202 (16.06.2020).

Abstract
The pulmonary system is the first and last "line of defense" in terms of maintaining blood gas homeostasis during exercise. Our review provides the reader with an overview of how the pulmonary system responds to acute exercise. We undertook this endeavor to provide a companion article to "Cardiovascular Response to Exercise," which was published in Advances in Physiological Education. Together, these articles provide the readers with a solid foundation of the cardiopulmonary response to acute exercise in healthy individuals. The intended audience of this review is level undergraduate or graduate students and/or instructors for such classes. By intention, we intend this to be used as an educational resource and seek to provide illustrative examples to reinforce topics as well as highlight uncertainty to encourage the reader to think "beyond the textbook." Our treatment of the topic presents "classic" concepts along with new information on the pulmonary physiology of healthy aging.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Our narrative review is written with the student of the pulmonary physiology of exercise in mind, be it a senior undergraduate or graduate student or those simply refreshing their knowledge. We also aim to provide examples where the reader can incorporate real scenarios.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prone positioning improves oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19. However, its haemodynamic effects are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to investigate the acute haemodynamic changes associated with prone position in mechanically ventilated patients with COVID-19 ARDS. The primary objective was to describe changes in cardiac index with prone position. The secondary objectives were to describe changes in mean arterial pressure, FiO2, PaO2/FiO2 ratio, and oxygen delivery (DO2) with prone position. METHODS We performed this cohort-embedded study in an Australian intensive care unit, between September and November 2021. We included adult patients with severe COVID-19 ARDS, requiring mechanical ventilation and prone positioning for respiratory failure. We placed patients in the prone position for 16 h per session. Using pulse contour technology, we collected haemodynamic data every 5 min for 2 h in the supine position and for 2 h in the prone position consecutively. RESULTS We studied 18 patients. Cardiac index, stroke volume index, and mean arterial pressure increased significantly in the prone position compared to supine position. The mean cardiac index was higher in the prone group than in the supine group by 0.44 L/min/m2 (95% confidence interval, 0.24 to 0.63) (P < 0.001). FiO2 requirement decreased significantly in the prone position (P < 0.001), with a significant increase in PaO2/FiO2 ratio (P < 0.001). DO2 also increased significantly in the prone position, from a median DO2 of 597 mls O2/min (interquartile range, 504 to 931) in the supine position to 743 mls O2/min (interquartile range, 604 to 1075) in the prone position (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Prone position increased the cardiac index, mean arterial pressure, and DO2 in invasively ventilated patients with COVID-19 ARDS. These changes may contribute to improved tissue oxygenation and improved outcomes observed in trials of prone positioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant reduction in regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) is commonly observed during one-lung ventilation (OLV), while positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can improve oxygenation. We compared the effects of three different PEEP levels on rSO2, pulmonary oxygenation, and hemodynamics during OLV. METHODS Forty-three elderly patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy were randomly assigned to one of six PEEP combinations which used a crossover design of 3 levels of PEEP-0 cmH2O, 5 cmH2O, and 10 cmH2O. The primary endpoint was rSO2 in patients receiving OLV 20 min after adjusting the PEEP. The secondary outcomes included hemodynamic and respiratory variables. RESULTS After exclusion, thirty-six patients (36.11% female; age range: 60-76 year) were assigned to six groups (n = 6 in each group). The rSO2 was highest at OLV(0) than at OLV(10) (difference, 2.889%; [95% CI, 0.573 to 5.204%]; p = 0.008). Arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2) was lowest at OLV(0) compared with OLV(5) (difference, -62.639 mmHg; [95% CI, -106.170 to -19.108 mmHg]; p = 0.005) or OLV(10) (difference, -73.389 mmHg; [95% CI, -117.852 to -28.925 mmHg]; p = 0.001), while peak airway pressure (Ppeak) was lower at OLV(0) (difference, -4.222 mmHg; [95% CI, -5.140 to -3.304 mmHg]; p < 0.001) and OLV(5) (difference, -3.139 mmHg; [95% CI, -4.110 to -2.167 mmHg]; p < 0.001) than at OLV(10). CONCLUSIONS PEEP with 10 cmH2O makes rSO2 decrease compared with 0 cmH2O. Applying PEEP with 5 cmH2O during OLV in elderly patients can improve oxygenation and maintain high rSO2 levels, without significantly increasing peak airway pressure compared to not using PEEP.

Abstract
PURPOSE Neuromuscular blockers (NMBs) are often used during prone positioning to facilitate mechanical ventilation in COVID-19 related ARDS. However, their impact on oxygenation is uncertain. METHODS Multi-centre observational study of invasively ventilated COVID-19 ARDS adults treated with prone positioning. We collected data on baseline characteristics, prone positioning, NMB use and patient outcome. We assessed arterial blood gas data during supine and prone positioning and after return to the supine position. RESULTS We studied 548 prone episodes in 220 patients (mean age 54 years, 61% male) of whom 164 (75%) received NMBs. Mean PaO2:FiO2 (P/F ratio) during the first prone episode with NMBs reached 208 ± 63 mmHg compared with 161 ± 66 mmHg without NMBs (Δmean = 47 ± 5 mmHg) for an absolute increase from baseline of 76 ± 56 mmHg versus 55 ± 56 mmHg (padj < 0.001). The mean P/F ratio on return to the supine position was 190 ± 63 mmHg in the NMB group versus 141 ± 64 mmHg in the non-NMB group for an absolute increase from baseline of 59 ± 58 mmHg versus 34 ± 56 mmHg (padj < 0.001). CONCLUSION During prone positioning, NMB is associated with increased oxygenation compared to non-NMB therapy, with a sustained effect on return to the supine position. These findings may help guide the use of NMB during prone positioning in COVID-19 ARDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the fervent scientific effort, a state-of-the art assessment of the different causes of hypoxemia (shunt, ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and diffusion limitation) in COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is currently lacking. In this study, the authors hypothesized a multifactorial genesis of hypoxemia and aimed to measure the relative contribution of each of the different mechanism and their relationship with the distribution of tissue and blood within the lung. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, the authors prospectively enrolled 10 patients with COVID-19 ARDS who had been intubated for less than 7 days. The multiple inert gas elimination technique (MIGET) and a dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) were performed and quantitatively analyzed for both tissue and blood volume. Variables related to the respiratory mechanics and invasive hemodynamics (PiCCO [Getinge, Sweden]) were also recorded. RESULTS The sample (51 ± 15 yr; Pao2/Fio2, 172 ± 86 mmHg) had a mortality of 50%. The MIGET showed a shunt of 25 ± 16% and a dead space of 53 ± 11%. Ventilation and perfusion were mismatched (LogSD, Q, 0.86 ± 0.33). Unexpectedly, evidence of diffusion limitation or postpulmonary shunting was also found. In the well aerated regions, the blood volume was in excess compared to the tissue, while the opposite happened in the atelectasis. Shunt was proportional to the blood volume of the atelectasis (R2 = 0.70, P = 0.003). V˙A/Q˙T mismatch was correlated with the blood volume of the poorly aerated tissue (R2 = 0.54, P = 0.016). The overperfusion coefficient was related to Pao2/Fio2 (R2 = 0.66, P = 0.002), excess tissue mass (R2 = 0.84, P < 0.001), and Etco2/Paco2 (R2 = 0.63, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS These data support the hypothesis of a highly multifactorial genesis of hypoxemia. Moreover, recent evidence from post-mortem studies (i.e., opening of intrapulmonary bronchopulmonary anastomosis) may explain the findings regarding the postpulmonary shunting. The hyperperfusion might be related to the disease severity. EDITOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Abstract
PURPOSE Various systems are available for cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), but their accuracy remains largely unexplored. We evaluate the accuracy of 15 popular CPET systems to assess respiratory variables, substrate use, and energy expenditure during simulated exercise. Cross-comparisons were also performed during human cycling experiments (i.e., verification of simulation findings), and between-session reliability was assessed for a subset of systems. METHODS A metabolic simulator was used to simulate breath-by-breath gas exchange, and the values measured by each system (minute ventilation [V̇E], breathing frequency [BF], oxygen uptake [V̇O2 ], carbon dioxide production [V̇CO2 ], respiratory exchange ratio [RER], energy from carbs and fats, and total energy expenditure) were compared to the simulated values to assess the accuracy. The following manufacturers (system) were assessed: COSMED (Quark CPET, K5), Cortex (MetaLyzer 3B, MetaMax 3B), Vyaire (Vyntus CPX, Oxycon Pro), Maastricht Instruments (Omnical), MGC Diagnostics (Ergocard Clinical, Ergocard Pro, Ultima), Ganshorn/Schiller (PowerCube Ergo), Geratherm (Ergostik), VO2master (VO2masterPro), PNOĒ (PNOĒ), and Calibre Biometrics (Calibre). RESULTS Absolute percentage errors during the simulations ranged from 1.15%-44.3% for V̇E, 1.05-3.79% for BF, 1.10%-13.3% for V̇O2 , 1.07%-18.3% for V̇CO2 , 0.62%-14.8% for RER, 5.52%-99.0% for Kcal from carbs, 5.13%-133% for Kcal from fats, and 0.59%-12.1% for total energy expenditure. Between-session variation ranged from 0.86%-21.0% for V̇O2 and 1.14%-20.2% for V̇CO2 , respectively. CONCLUSION The error of respiratory gas variables, substrate, and energy use differed substantially between systems, with only a few systems demonstrating a consistent acceptable error. We extensively discuss the implications of our findings for clinicians, researchers and other CPET users.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Nearly 40 yr ago, Professor Dempsey delivered the 1985 ACSM Joseph B. Wolffe Memorial Lecture titled: "Is the lung built for exercise?" Since then, much experimental work has been directed at enhancing our understanding of the functional capacity of the respiratory system by applying complex methodologies to the study of exercise. This review summarizes a symposium entitled: "Revisiting 'Is the lung built for exercise?'" presented at the 2022 American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting, highlighting the progress made in the last three-plus decades and acknowledging new research questions that have arisen. We have chosen to subdivide our topic into four areas of active study: (i) the adaptability of lung structure to exercise training, (ii) the utilization of airway imaging to better understand how airway anatomy relates to exercising lung mechanics, (iii) measurement techniques of pulmonary gas exchange and their importance, and (iv) the interactions of the respiratory and cardiovascular system during exercise. Each of the four sections highlights gaps in our knowledge of the exercising lung. Addressing these areas that would benefit from further study will help us comprehend the intricacies of the lung that allow it to meet and adapt to the acute and chronic demands of exercise in health, aging, and disease.

Abstract
The Oxygen Reserve Index (ORi) is an advanced plethysmography-derived variable that may help to quantify the degree of hyperoxia in patients receiving supplemental oxygen administration. ORi is a (relative) indicator of the actual partial pressure of oxygen dissolved in arterial blood (PaO2). As such, it may help in the titration of oxygen administration or it may help to warn the clinician of a deterioration of oxygen status of the patient.In this issue of the journal, Fadel et al. provide a 'classical' clinical validation study by assessing the correlation between ORi and PaO2 in patients about to undergo open-heart surgery. Within the moderate hyperoxic range (100-200 mmHg PaO2), there is a sound correlation between ORi and PaO2. This editorial discusses the clinical implications of this validation study and elaborates on the possible role of ORi monitoring in addition to SpO2 (peripheral arterial oxygen saturation) monitoring alone.

Abstract
We have investigated the elimination of inert gases in the lung during the elimination of nitrous oxide (N2 O) using a two-step mathematical model that allows the contribution from net gas volume expansion, which occurs in Step 2, to be separated from other factors. When a second inert gas is used in addition to N2 O, the effect on that gas appears as an extra volume of the gas eliminated in association with the dilution produced by N2 O washout in Step 2. We first considered the effect of elimination in a single gas-exchanging unit under steady-state conditions and then extended our analysis to a lung having a log-normal distribution of ventilation and perfusion. A further increase in inert gas elimination was demonstrated with gases of low solubility in the presence of the increased ventilation-perfusion mismatch that is known to occur during anesthesia. These effects are transient because N2 O elimination depletes the input of that gas from mixed venous blood to the lung, thereby rapidly reducing the magnitude of the diluting action.

Abstract
In this review, we describe the structure and function of the alveolar-capillary membrane and the identification of a novel potential marker of its integrity in the context of heart failure (HF). The alveolar-capillary membrane is indeed a crucial structure for the maintenance of the lung parenchyma gas exchange capacity, and the occurrence of pathological conditions determining lung fluids accumulation, such as HF, might significantly impair lung diffusion capacity altering the alveolar-capillary membrane protective functions. In the years, we found that the presence of immature forms of the surfactant protein-type B (proSP-B) in the circulation reflects alterations in the alveolar-capillary membrane integrity. We discussed our main achievements showing that proSP-B, due to its chemical properties, specifically binds to high-density lipoprotein, impairing their antioxidant activity, and likely contributing to the progression of the disease. Further, we found that immature proSP-B, not the mature protein, is related to lung abnormalities, more precisely than the lung function parameters. Thus, to the list of the potential proposed markers of HF, we add proSP-B, which represents a precise marker of alveolar-capillary membrane dysfunction in HF, correlates with prognosis, and represents a precocious marker of drug therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment of ARDS caused by smoke inhalation is challenging with no specific therapies available. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of nebulized adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) in a well-characterized, clinically relevant ovine model of smoke inhalation injury. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fourteen female Merino sheep were surgically instrumented 5-7 days prior to study. After induction of acute lung injury (ALI) by cooled cotton smoke insufflation into the lungs (under anesthesia and analgesia), sheep were placed on a mechanical ventilator for 48 hrs and monitored for cardiopulmonary hemodynamics in a conscious state. ASCs were isolated from ovine adipose tissue. Sheep were randomly allocated to two groups after smoke injury: 1) ASCs group (n = 6): 10 million ASCs were nebulized into the airway at 1 hr post-injury; and 2) Control group (n = 8): Nebulized with saline into the airways at 1 hr post-injury. ASCs were labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP) to trace cells within the lung. ASCs viability was determined in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). RESULTS PaO2/FiO2 in the ASCs group was significantly higher than in the control group (p = 0.001) at 24 hrs. Oxygenation index: (mean airway pressure × FiO2/PaO2) was significantly lower in the ASCs group at 36 hr (p = 0.003). Pulmonary shunt fraction tended to be lower in the ASCs group as compared to the control group. GFP-labelled ASCs were found on the surface of trachea epithelium 48 hrs after injury. The viability of ASCs in BALF was significantly lower than those exposed to the control vehicle solution. CONCLUSION Nebulized ASCs moderately improved pulmonary function and delayed the onset of ARDS.

Abstract
Gas exchange in the lung depends on tidal breathing, which brings new oxygen to and removes carbon dioxide from alveolar gas. This maintains alveolar partial pressures that promote passive diffusion to add oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from blood in alveolar capillaries. In a lung model without ventilation and perfusion (V̇AQ̇) mismatch, alveolar partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide are primarily determined by inspiratory pressures and alveolar ventilation. Regions with shunt or low ratios worsen arterial oxygenation while alveolar dead space and high lung units lessen CO2 elimination efficiency. Although less common, diffusion limitation might cause hypoxemia in some situations. This review covers the principles of lung gas exchange and therefore mechanisms of hypoxemia or hypercapnia. In addition, we discuss different metrics that quantify the deviation from ideal gas exchange.

Abstract
PURPOSE 129 Xe MRI and MRS signals from airspaces, membrane tissues (M), and red blood cells (RBCs) provide measurements of pulmonary gas exchange. However, 129 Xe MRI/MRS studies have yet to account for hemoglobin concentration (Hb), which is expected to affect the uptake of 129 Xe in the membrane and RBC compartments. We propose a framework to adjust the membrane and RBC signals for Hb and use this to assess sex-specific differences in RBC/M and establish a Hb-adjusted healthy reference range for the RBC/M ratio. METHODS We combined the 1D model of xenon gas exchange (MOXE) with the principle of TR-flip angle equivalence to establish scaling factors that normalize the dissolved-phase signals with respect to a standardH b 0 $$ H{b}^0 $$ (14 g/dL). 129 Xe MRI/MRS data from a healthy, young cohort (n = 18, age = 25.0± $$ \pm $$ 3.4 years) were used to validate this model and assess the impact of Hb adjustment on M/gas and RBC/gas images and RBC/M. RESULTS Adjusting for Hb caused RBC/M to change by up to 20% in healthy individuals with normal Hb and had marked impacts on M/gas and RBC/gas distributions in 3D gas-exchange maps. RBC/M was higher in males than females both before and after Hb adjustment (p < 0.001). After Hb adjustment, the healthy reference value for RBC/M for a consortium-recommended acquisition of TR = 15 ms and flip = 20° was 0.589± $$ \pm $$ 0.083 (mean± $$ \pm $$ SD). CONCLUSION MOXE provides a useful framework for evaluating the Hb dependence of the membrane and RBC signals. This work indicates that adjusting for Hb is essential for accurately assessing 129 Xe gas-exchange MRI/MRS metrics.

Abstract
The continuous measurement of percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) enables diseases that cause hypoxemia to be detected early and patients' conditions to be monitored. Currently, SpO2 is mainly measured using a pulse oximeter, which, owing to its simplicity, can be used in clinical settings and at home. However, the pulse oximeter requires a sensor to be in contact with the skin; therefore, prolonged use of the pulse oximeter for neonates or patients with sensitive skin may cause local inflammation or stress due to restricted movement. In addition, owing to COVID-19, there has been a growing demand for the contactless measurement of SpO2. Several studies on measuring SpO2 without contact used skin video images have been conducted. However, in these studies, the SpO2 values were estimated using a linear regression model or a look-up table that required reference values obtained using a contact-type pulse oximeter. In this study, we propose a new technique for the contactless measurement of SpO2 that does not require reference values. Specifically, we used certain approaches that reduced the influence of non-pulsating components and utilized different light wavelengths of video images that penetrated subcutaneously to different depths. We experimentally investigated the accuracy of SpO2 measurements using the proposed methods. The results indicate that the proposed methods were more accurate than the conventional method.

Abstract
We propose an integrated dynamical model for oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer from the lung into the blood, coupled with a lumped mechanical model for the ventilation process, for healthy patients as well as in pathological cases. In particular, we take into account the nonlinear interaction between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood volume, referred to as the Bohr and Haldane effects. We also propose a definition of the physiological dead space volume (the lung volume that does not contribute to gas exchange) which depends on the pathological state and the breathing scenario. This coupled ventilation-gas diffusion model is driven by the sole action of the respiratory muscles. We analyse its sensitivity with respect to characteristic parameters: the resistance of the bronchial tree, the elastance of the lung tissue and the oxygen and carbon dioxide diffusion coefficients of the alveolo-capillary membrane. Idealized pathological situations are also numerically investigated. We obtain realistic qualitative tendencies, which represent a first step towards classification of the pathological behaviours with respect to the considered input parameters.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the Cosmed K5 portable indirect calorimeter, using the mixing chamber mode and face mask, with a stationary metabolic cart when measuring the resting metabolic rate (RMR) and to derive fitting equations if discrepancies are observed. Forty-three adults (18-84 years) were assessed for their RMR for two 30-min consecutive and counterbalanced periods using a Cosmed K5 and an Oxycon Pro. Differences among devices were tested using paired sample Student's t-tests, and correlation and agreement were assessed using Pearson's correlation coefficients, intraclass correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman plots. Forward stepwise multiple linear regression models were performed to develop fitting equations for estimating differences among devices when assessing oxygen uptake (VO2 diff , mL·min-1 ) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2 diff , mL·min-1 ). Furthermore, the Oxycon Pro was tested before being confirmed as a reference device. Significant differences between devices were found in most metabolic and ventilatory parameters, including the primary outcomes of VO2 and VCO2 . These differences showed an overestimation of the Cosmed K5 in all metabolic outcomes, except for Fat, when compared to the Oxycon Pro. When derived fitting equations were applied (VO2 diff - 139.210 + 0.786 [weight, kg] + 1.761 [height, cm] - 0.941 [Cosmed K5 VO2 , mL·min-1 ]; VCO2 diff - 86.569 + 0.548 [weight, kg] + 0.915 [height, cm] - 0.728 [Cosmed K5 VCO2 , mL·min-1 ]), differences were minimized, and agreement was maximized. This study provides fitting equations which allow the use of the Cosmed K5 for reasonably optimal RMR determinations.

Abstract
Remote camera-based estimation of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) using visible lights has been studied recently, typically for red (660 nm) and green (550 nm) wavelengths. This paper investigates the impact of different skin penetration depths of red and green wavelengths on the SpO2 estimation based on mathematical modeling and experiments, where the SpO2-calibritability between two illumination setups, narrow-band red/green and narrow-band red/infrared, are statistically compared using the "ratio-of-ratios" method. The results show that the performance of the setup using red/green is less consistent among 17 volunteers than the setup using red/infrared, and larger SpO2 disparity between different skin regions (by SpO2 imaging) have been found for individuals in the red/green wavelengths setup. The use of visible light (red and green) may impose a risk of SpO2 calibration due to the different skin penetration depths of these two wavelengths.

Abstract
Recent work has noted a skin-color bias in existing pulse oximetry systems in their estimation of arterial oxygen saturation. Frequently, the algorithm used by these systems estimate a "ratio-of-ratios", called the "R-value", on their way to estimating the oxygen saturation. In this work, we focus on an "SNR-related" bias that is due to noise in measurements. We derive expressions for the SNR-related bias in R-value estimation, and observe how it scales with the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We show that the bias can arise at two steps of R-value estimation: in estimating the max and min of a pulsatile signal, and, additionally in taking ratios to estimate the R-value. We assess the bias resulting from the combination of the two steps, but also separate out contributions of each step. By doing so, we deduce that the bias induced in max and min estimation is likely to dominate. Because the SNR tends to get worse with higher melanin concentration, our result provides a sense of scaling of this bias with melanin concentration.

Abstract
There are several methods available to assess energy expenditure, all associated with inherent pros and cons that must be adequately considered for use in specific environments and populations. A requirement of all methods is that they must be valid and reliable in their capability to accurately measure oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the mobile CO2/O2 Breath and Respiration Analyzer (COBRA) relative to a criterion system (Parvomedics TrueOne 2400®, PARVO) with additional measurements to compare the COBRA to a portable system (Vyaire Medical, Oxycon Mobile®, OXY). Fourteen volunteers with a mean of 24 years old, body weight of 76 kg, and a VO2peak of 3.8 L∙min-1 performed four repeated trials of progressive exercises. Simultaneous steady-state measurements of VO2, VCO2, and minute ventilation (VE) by the COBRA/PARVO and OXY systems were conducted at rest, while walking (23-36% VO2peak), jogging (49-67% VO2peak), and running (60-76% VO2peak). Data collection was randomized by the order of system tested (COBRA/PARVO and OXY) and was standardized to maintain work intensity (rest to run) progression across study trials and days (two trials/day over two days). Systematic bias was examined to assess the accuracy of the COBRA to PARVO and OXY to PARVO across work intensities. Intra- and inter-unit variability were assessed with interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and a 95% limit of agreement intervals. The COBRA and PARVO produced similar measures for VO2 (Bias ± SD, 0.01 ± 0.13 L·min-1; 95% LoA, (-0.24, 0.27 L·min-1); R2 = 0.982), VCO2 (0.06 ± 0.13 L·min-1; (-0.19, 0.31 L·min-1); R2 = 0.982), VE (2.07 ± 2.76 L·min-1; (-3.35, 7.49 L·min-1); R2 = 0.991) across work intensities. There was a linear bias across both the COBRA and OXY with increased work intensity. The coefficient of variation for the COBRA ranged from 7 to 9% across measures for VO2, VCO2, and VE. COBRA was reliable across measurements for VO2 (ICC = 0.825; 0.951), VCO2 (ICC = 0.785; 0.876), and VE (ICC = 0.857; 0.945) for intra-unit reliability, respectively. The COBRA is an accurate and reliable mobile system for measuring gas exchange at rest and across a range of work intensities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced exercise capacity has been reported previously in patients with OSA hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), although the underlying mechanisms are unclear. RESEARCH QUESTION What are the underlying mechanisms of reduced exercise capacity in untreated patients with OSAHS? Is there a role for systemic or pulmonary vascular abnormalities? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional observational study in which 14 patients with moderate to severe OSAHS and 10 control participants (matched for age, BMI, smoking history, and FEV1) underwent spirometry, incremental cycle cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) with arterial line, resting echocardiography, and assessment of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity [PWV] and augmentation index [AIx]). RESULTS Patients (age, 50 ± 11 years; BMI, 30.5 ± 2.7 kg/m2; smoking history, 2.4 ± 4.0 pack-years; FEV1 to FVC ratio, 0.78 ± 0.04; FEV1, 85 ± 14% predicted, mean ± SD for all) had mean ± SD apnea hypopnea index of 43 ± 19/h. At rest, PWV, AIx, and mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) were higher in patients vs control participants (P < .05). During CPET, patients showed lower peak work rate (WR) and oxygen uptake and greater dyspnea ratings compared with control participants (P < .05 for all). Minute ventilation (V·E), ventilatory equivalent for CO2 output (V·E/V·CO2), and dead space volume (VD) to tidal volume (VT) ratio were greater in patients vs control participants during exercise (P < .05 for all). Reduction in VD to VT ratio from rest to peak exercise was greater in control participants compared with patients (0.24 ± 0.08 vs 0.04 ± 0.14, respectively; P = .001). Dyspnea intensity at the highest equivalent WR correlated with corresponding values of V·E/V·CO2 (r = 0.65; P = .002), and dead space ventilation (r = 0.70; P = .001). Age, PWV, and mean PAP explained approximately 70% of the variance in peak WR, whereas predictors of dyspnea during CPET were rest-to-peak change in VD to VT ratio and PWV (R2 = 0.50; P < .001). INTERPRETATION Patients with OSAHS showed evidence of pulmonary gas exchange abnormalities during exercise (in the form of increased dead space) and resting systemic vascular dysfunction that may explain reduced exercise capacity and increased exertional dyspnea intensity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathological evidence suggests that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pulmonary infection involves both alveolar damage (causing shunt) and diffuse microvascular thrombus formation (causing alveolar dead space). We propose that measuring respiratory gas exchange enables detection and quantification of these abnormalities. We aimed to measure shunt and alveolar dead space in moderate COVID-19 during acute illness and recovery. METHODS We studied 30 patients (22 males; mean±sd age 49.9±13.5 years) 3-15 days from symptom onset and again during recovery, 55±10 days later (n=17). Arterial blood (breathing ambient air) was collected while exhaled oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations were measured, yielding alveolar-arterial differences for each gas (P A-aO2 and P a-ACO2 , respectively) from which shunt and alveolar dead space were computed. RESULTS For acute COVID-19 patients, group mean (range) for P A-aO2 was 41.4 (-3.5-69.3) mmHg and for P a-ACO2 was 6.0 (-2.3-13.4) mmHg. Both shunt (% cardiac output) at 10.4% (0-22.0%) and alveolar dead space (% tidal volume) at 14.9% (0-32.3%) were elevated (normal: <5% and <10%, respectively), but not correlated (p=0.27). At recovery, shunt was 2.4% (0-6.1%) and alveolar dead space was 8.5% (0-22.4%) (both p<0.05 versus acute). Shunt was marginally elevated for two patients; however, five patients (30%) had elevated alveolar dead space. CONCLUSIONS We speculate impaired pulmonary gas exchange in early COVID-19 pneumonitis arises from two concurrent, independent and variable processes (alveolar filling and pulmonary vascular obstruction). For most patients these resolve within weeks; however, high alveolar dead space in ∼30% of recovered patients suggests persistent pulmonary vascular pathology.

Abstract
Gas exchange abnormalities is the pathophysiology characteristic of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The severity of gas exchange abnormalities not only reflect the severity and outcome of the disease, but could also be an important index to guide individual mechanical ventilation settings and evaluate the therapeutic effects of inhaled vasodilator. The common techniques to measure gas exchange include multiple inert gas elimination technique, automatic lung parameter estimator, electrical impedance tomography, and single-photon emission CT. Nowadays, bedside techniques and measurements for improving gas exchange function in ARDS patients are still limited. Therefore, the improvement and promotion of bedside real-time gas exchange monitoring technology may achieve the goal of personalized medicine in ARDS. This article reviewed the common evaluation methods of gas exchange function in ARDS and their significance, in order to pay more attention to the evaluation of gas exchange function and further improve the prognosis of patients with ARDS.

Abstract
Pulmonary oxygen uptake ( V ̇ O 2 ) kinetics have been well studied during land-based exercise. However, less is known about V ̇ O 2 kinetics during swimming exercise and comparisons between strokes is non-existent. We aimed to characterize and compare the V ̇ O 2 kinetics, ventilatory,e and metabolic response to constant velocity moderate-intensity freely breathing front crawl (FC) and breaststroke (BR) swimming in a swimming flume. These two strokes reflect predominantly upper body versus lower body modes of swimming locomotion, respectively. Eight trained swimmers (4 females, 20 ± 1 years, 1.74 ± 0.06 m; 66.8 ± 6.3 kg) attended 5-6 laboratory-based swimming sessions. The first two trials determined FC and BR V ̇ O 2 max and the ventilatory threshold (VT), respectively, during progressive intensity swimming to the limit of tolerance. Subsequent trials involved counterbalanced FC and BR transitions from prone floating to constant velocity moderate-intensity swimming at 80% of the velocity at VT (vVT), separated by 30-min recovery. Breath-by-breath changes in pulmonary gas exchange and ventilation were measured continuously using a snorkel and aquatic metabolic cart system. The ventilatory and metabolic responses were similar (p > 0.05) between strokes during maximal velocity swimming, however, vVT and maximal velocity were slower (p < 0.05) during BR . During moderate-intensity swimming, V ̇ O 2 kinetics, ventilatory and metabolic parameters were similar (p > 0.05) between strokes. In conclusion, when breathing ad libitum, V ̇ O 2 kinetics during moderate-intensity constant velocity swimming, and ventilatory and metabolic responses during moderate-intensity and maximal velocity swimming, are similar between FC and BR strokes.

Abstract
Perinatal inflammatory stress is associated with early life morbidity and lifelong consequences for pulmonary health. Chorioamnionitis, an inflammatory condition affecting the placenta and fluid surrounding the developing fetus, affects 25 to 40% of preterm births. Severe chorioamnionitis with preterm birth is associated with significantly increased risk of pulmonary disease and secondary infections in childhood, suggesting that fetal inflammation may markedly alter the development of the lung. Here, we used intra-amniotic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge to induce experimental chorioamnionitis in a prenatal rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) model that mirrors structural and temporal aspects of human lung development. Inflammatory injury directly disrupted the developing gas exchange surface of the primate lung, with extensive damage to alveolar structure, particularly the close association and coordinated differentiation of alveolar type 1 pneumocytes and specialized alveolar capillary endothelium. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis defined a multicellular alveolar signaling niche driving alveologenesis that was extensively disrupted by perinatal inflammation, leading to a loss of gas exchange surface and alveolar simplification, with notable resemblance to chronic lung disease in newborns. Blockade of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α ameliorated LPS-induced inflammatory lung injury by blunting stromal responses to inflammation and modulating innate immune activation in myeloid cells, restoring structural integrity and key signaling networks in the developing alveolus. These data provide new insight into the pathophysiology of developmental lung injury and suggest that modulating inflammation is a promising therapeutic approach to prevent fetal consequences of chorioamnionitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mechanical ventilation is usually achieved by active lung inflation during inspiration and passive lung emptying during expiration. By contrast, flow-controlled expiration (FLEX) ventilation actively reduces the rate of lung emptying by causing linear gas flow throughout the expiratory phase. Our aim was to evaluate the effects of FLEX on lung compliance and gas exchange in anesthetized horses in dorsal recumbency. ANIMALS 8 healthy horses. PROCEDURES All animals were anesthetized twice and either ventilated beginning with FLEX or conventional volume-controlled ventilation in a randomized, crossover design. Total anesthesia time was 3 hours, with the ventilatory mode being changed after 1.5 hours. During anesthesia, cardiac output (thermodilution), mean arterial blood pressures, central venous pressure, and pulmonary arterial pressure were recorded. Further, peak, plateau, and mean airway pressures and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were measured. Arterial blood gases were analyzed every 15 minutes. Data were analyzed using ANOVA (P < 0.05). RESULTS FLEX ventilation resulted in significantly higher arterial oxygen partial pressures (521 vs 227 mm Hg) and Cdyn (564 vs 431 mL/cm H2O) values compared to volume-controlled ventilation. The peak and plateau airway pressure were lower, but mean airway pressure was significantly higher (4.8 vs 9.2 cm H2O) in FLEX ventilated horses. No difference for cardiovascular parameters were detected. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The results of this study showed a significant improvement of the Pao2 and Cdyn without compromising the cardiovascular system when horses were ventilated by use of FLEX compared to conventional ventilation.

Abstract
Objective To test whether tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) after a venous occlusion test estimates central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2). Methods Observational study in intensive care unit patients. Tissue oxygen saturation was monitored (InSpectra Tissue Spectrometer Model 650, Hutchinson Technology Inc., MN, USA) with a multiprobe (15/25mm) in the thenar position. A venous occlusion test in volunteers was applied in the upper arm to test the tolerability and pattern of StO2 changes during the venous occlusion test. A sphygmomanometer cuff was inflated to a pressure 30mmHg above diastolic pressure until StO2 reached a plateau and deflated to 0mmHg. Tissue oxygen saturation parameters were divided into resting StO2 (r-StO2) and minimal StO2 (m-StO2) at the end of the venous occlusion test. In patients, the cuff was inflated to a pressure 30mmHg above diastolic pressure for 5 min (volunteers’ time derived) or until a StO2 plateau was reached. Tissue oxygen saturation parameters were divided into r-StO2, m-StO2, and the mean time that StO2 reached ScvO2. The StO2 value at the mean time was compared to ScvO2. Results All 9 volunteers tolerated the venous occlusion test. The time for tolerability or the StO2 plateau was 7 ± 1 minutes. We studied 22 patients. The mean time for StO2 equalized ScvO2 was 100 sec and 95 sec (15/25mm probes). The StO2 value at 100 sec ([100-StO2] 15mm: 74 ± 7%; 25mm: 74 ± 6%) was then compared with ScvO2 (75 ± 6%). The StO2 value at 100 sec correlated with ScvO2 (15 mm: R2 = 0.63, 25mm: R2 = 0.67, p < 0.01) without discrepancy (Bland Altman). Conclusion Central venous oxygen saturation can be estimated from StO2 during a venous occlusion test.

Abstract
A recent rise in snorkeling-related deaths in Hawaii has inspired several bans on full face snorkel masks (FFSMs). However, while there are theories to explain the deaths, little physiological data exists about the way the FFSMs provide gas to an exercising subject. To evaluate the safety of the FFSM concept, this study was designed to test how use of a full face snorkel mask (FFSM) may be physiologically different than use of a conventional snorkel, and to assess if any of those differences could lead to increased risk for the snorkeler. Ten (10) volunteer human subjects were tested using a variety of commercially available FFSMs, with real-time monitoring of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), inspired airway pressure, and inspired and expired levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Two of the three FFSM design types were shown not to function as advertised, but none of the masks provided physiologically problematic gas supplies to the snorkelers. While this testing yielded no conclusive "smoking gun" to explain the snorkeler deaths, some of the mask models showed patterns of increasing breathing resistance with water intrusion because of a shared design characteristic, and this increased resistance could potentially create elevated levels of respiratory distress to snorkelers during real-world use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In non-traumatic respiratory failure, pre-hospital application of CPAP reduces the need for intubation. Primary blast lung injury (PBLI) accompanied by haemorrhagic shock is common after mass casualty incidents. We hypothesised that pre-hospital CPAP is also beneficial after PBLI accompanied by haemorrhagic shock. METHODS We performed a computer-based simulation of the cardiopulmonary response to PBLI followed by haemorrhage, calibrated from published controlled porcine experiments exploring blast injury and haemorrhagic shock. The effect of different CPAP levels was simulated in three in silico patients who had sustained mild, moderate, or severe PBLI (10%, 25%, 50% contusion of the total lung) plus haemorrhagic shock. The primary outcome was arterial partial pressure of oxygen (Pao2) at the end of each simulation. RESULTS In mild blast lung injury, 5 cm H2O ambient-air CPAP increased Pao2 from 10.6 to 12.6 kPa. Higher CPAP did not further improve Pao2. In moderate blast lung injury, 10 cm H2O CPAP produced a larger increase in Pao2 (from 8.5 to 11.1 kPa), but 15 cm H2O CPAP produced no further benefit. In severe blast lung injury, 5 cm H2O CPAP inceased Pao2 from 4.06 to 8.39 kPa. Further increasing CPAP to 10-15 cm H2O reduced Pao2 (7.99 and 7.90 kPa, respectively) as a result of haemodynamic impairment resulting from increased intrathoracic pressures. CONCLUSIONS Our modelling study suggests that ambient air 5 cm H2O CPAP may benefit casualties suffering from blast lung injury, even with severe haemorrhagic shock. However, higher CPAP levels beyond 10 cm H2O after severe lung injury reduced oxygen delivery as a result of haemodynamic impairment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Women have been shown to experience less neuromuscular fatigue than men in knee extensors (KE) and less peripheral fatigue in plantar flexors (PF) after ultratrail running, but it is unknown if these differences exist for shorter trail running races and whether this may impact running economy. The purpose of this study was to characterize sex differences in fatigability over a range of running distances and to examine possible differences in the postrace alteration of the cost of running (Cr). METHODS Eighteen pairs of men and women were matched by performance after completing different races ranging from 40 to 171 km, divided into SHORT versus LONG races (<60 and >100 km, respectively). Neuromuscular function and Cr were tested before and after each race. Neuromuscular function was evaluated on both KE and PF with voluntary and evoked contractions using electrical nerve (KE and PF) and transcranial magnetic (KE) stimulation. Oxygen uptake, respiratory exchange ratio, and ventilation were measured on a treadmill and used to calculate Cr. RESULTS Compared with men, women displayed a smaller decrease in maximal strength in KE (-36% vs -27%, respectively, P < 0.01), independent of race distance. In SHORT only, women displayed less peripheral fatigue in PF compared with men (Δ peak twitch: -10% vs -24%, respectively, P < 0.05). Cr increased similarly in men and women. CONCLUSIONS Women experience less neuromuscular fatigue than men after both "classic" and "extreme" prolonged running exercises but this does not impact the degradation of the energy Cr.

Abstract
Breath-by-breath oxygen-carbon dioxide (O2-CO2) exchange ratio (bER) is a respiratory gas exchange (RGE) metric, which is the ratio of the changes in the partial pressure of O2 (ΔPO2) to CO2 (ΔPCO2) between end-inspiration and end-expiration, has been demonstrated to characterize the cerebrovascular responses to breath-hold challenge in healthy individuals. We aimed to explore whether bER could characterize cerebrovascular responses in patients with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) under breath-hold challenge. We also investigated the correlation between bER and the severity of post-concussion symptoms. Blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) images were acquired using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on 10 patients with chronic mTBI and 10 controls without brain injury history when performing a breath-hold task. Time series of RGE metrics of ΔPO2, ΔPCO2, and bER were computed, and their cross-correlation with regional change in BOLD (ΔBOLD) was calculated. Symptom burden was assessed using the Rivermead Post Concussion Questionnaire (RPQ), and its correlation with RGE changes was also measured. Compared with controls, a diffuse decrease in the correlation between regional ΔBOLD and bER was found in the brain of patients with mTBI (pfdr < 0.05). No significant difference was found between patients and controls for the correlation of regional ΔBOLD with ΔPO2 and ΔPCO2. Symptom severity indicated by RPQ scores increased with a decrease in the averaged changes of bER (ρ = 0.79, p = 0.01) and ΔPO2 (ρ = 0.70, p = 0.03) in breath-hold epochs. Our imaging and symptom severity findings suggest that bER can be used to characterize cerebrovascular responses to breath hold in patients with mTBI. The RGE may contribute to the post-concussive symptom severity.

Abstract
Blood-gas barrier (BGB) or alveolar-capillary barrier is the primary tissue barrier affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Comprising alveolar epithelial cells (AECs), endothelial cells (ECs) and the extracellular matrix (ECM) in between, the BGB is damaged following the action of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines during acute inflammation. The infection of AECs and ECs with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the pathogen behind COVID-19, triggers an inflammatory response at the BGB, inducing the release of interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and platelet activating factor (PAF). The end result is the disassembly of adherens junctions (AJs) and tight junctions (TJs) in both AECs and ECs, AEC hyperplasia, EC pyroptosis, ECM remodeling and deposition of fibrin clots in the alveolar capillaries, leading to disintegration and thickening of the BGB, and ultimately, hypoxia. This commentary seeks to provide a brief account of how the BGB might become affected in COVID-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Persistent impairment of pulmonary function and exercise capacity has been known to last for months or even years in the survivors who recovered from other coronavirus pneumonia. Some reports showed that subjects with coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia after being discharged could have several sequelae, but there are few studies on gas exchange and exercise capacity complications in these subjects. AIMS To describe residual gas exchange abnormalities during recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia. METHODS In an observational study, ∼90 d after onset of disease, we scheduled almost 200 subjects for an out-patient visit with pulmonary function testing and computed tomography of the lungs. Lung mechanics by using body plethysmography, gas exchange with diffusing lung capacity for carbon monoxide determined by the single-breath technique (DLCOsb) and diffusing lung capacity for nitric oxide determined by the single-breath technique (DLNOsb), and exercise ability by using the 6-min walk test (6MWT) were measured in the subjects. The results were compared between those who required invasive mechanical ventilation and those who did not. RESULTS A total of 171 subjects were included, the majority (96%) had signs of residual pneumonia (such as an excess of high attenuation areas) on computed tomography of the lungs. The DLCOSB results were below the lower limit of the normal range in 29.2% of the subjects; during the 6MWT, 67% experienced oxygen desaturation ([Formula: see text]) > 4%; and, in 81 (47%), the dropped below 88%. Subjects who required invasive mechanical ventilation (49.7%) were more likely to have lower lung volumes, more gas exchange abnormality, less exercise capacity and more radiologic abnormality. CONCLUSIONS Subjects who recovered from severe COVID-19 pneumonia continued to have abnormal lung function and abnormal radiologic findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this prospective observational study, we evaluated the effects of fluid bolus (FB) on venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide tension (PvaCO2) in 42 adult critically ill patients with pre-infusion PvaCO2 > 6 mmHg. RESULTS FB caused a decrease in PvaCO2, from 8.7 [7.6-10.9] mmHg to 6.9 [5.8-8.6] mmHg (p < 0.01). PvaCO2 decreased independently of pre-infusion cardiac index and PvaCO2 changes during FB were not correlated with changes in central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) whatever pre-infusion CI. Pre-infusion levels of PvaCO2 were inversely correlated with decreases in PvaCO2 during FB and a pre-infusion PvaCO2 value < 7.7 mmHg could exclude a decrease in PvaCO2 during FB (AUC: 0.79, 95%CI 0.64-0.93; Sensitivity, 91%; Specificity, 55%; p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Fluid bolus decreased abnormal PvaCO2 levels independently of pre-infusion CI. Low baseline PvaCO2 values suggest that a positive response to FB is unlikely.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The study aimed to reveal how the fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) affected the value of mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) and the accuracy of Fick-equation-based cardiac output (Fick-CO). METHODS Forty two adult patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery were enrolled and randomly divided into 2 groups: FIO2 < 0.7 or >0.85. Under stable general anesthesia, thermodilution-derived cardiac output (TD-CO), SvO2, venous partial pressure of oxygen, hemoglobin, arterial oxygen saturation, arterial partial pressure of oxygen, and blood pH levels were recorded before surgical incision. RESULTS Significant differences in FIO2 values were observed between the 2 groups (0.56 ± 0.08 in the <70% group and 0.92 ± 0.03 in the >0.85 group; P < .001). The increasing FIO2 values lead to increases in SvO2, venous partial pressure of oxygen, and arterial partial pressure of oxygen, with little effects on cardiac output and hemoglobin levels. When comparing to TD-CO, the calculated Fick-CO in both groups had moderate Pearson correlations and similar linear regression results. Although the FIO2 <0.7 group presented a less mean bias and a smaller limits of agreement, neither group met the percentage error criteria of <30% in Bland-Altman analysis. CONCLUSION Increased FIO2 may influence the interpretation of SvO2 and the exacerbation of Fick-CO estimation, which could affect clinical management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recognizing only sharp elevation in a short period of time, the COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 propagation is more and more marked in the whole world. Induced inflammation afterwards infection engenders a high infiltration of immune cells and cytokines that triggers matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) activation. These endopeptidases are mediators of the lung extracellular matrix (ECM), a basic element for alveoli structure and gas exchange. METHODS When immune cells, MMPs, secreted cytokines and several other mediators are gathered a pathological matrix remodeling occurs. This phenomenon tends to tissue destruction in the first place and a pulmonary hypertrophy and fibrosis in the second place. FINDINGS After pathological matrix remodeling establishment, pathological diseases take place even after infection state. Since post COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis is an emerging complication of the disease, there is an urge to better understand and characterize the implication of ECM remodeling during SARS-CoV-2 infection. CONCLUSION Targeting MMPs and their inhibitors could be a probable solution for occurred events since there are many cured patients that remain with severe sequels even after the end of infection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The mechanism(s) of exercise intolerance at V˙O2max remain poorly understood. In health, standard ramp-incremental (RI) exercise is limited by fatigue-induced reductions in maximum voluntary cycling power. Whether neuromuscular fatigue also limits exercise when the RI rate is slow and RI peak power at intolerance is lower than standard RI exercise, is unknown. METHODS In twelve healthy participants, maximal voluntary cycling power was measured during a short (~6 s) isokinetic effort at 80 rpm (Piso) at baseline and, using an instantaneous switch from cadence-independent to isokinetic cycling, immediately at the limit of RI exercise with RI rates of 50, 25, and 10 W·min-1 (RI-50, RI-25, and RI-10). Breath-by-breath pulmonary gas exchange was measured throughout. RESULTS Baseline Piso was not different among RI rates (analysis of variance; P > 0.05). Tolerable duration increased with decreasing RI rate (RI-50, 411 ± 58 s vs RI-25, 732 ± 93 s vs RI-10, 1531 ± 288 s; P < 0.05). At intolerance, V˙O2peak was not different among RI rates (analysis of variance; P > 0.05), but RI peak power decreased with RI rate (RI-50, 361 ± 48 W vs RI-25, 323 ± 39 W vs RI-10, 275 ± 38 W; P < 0.05). Piso at intolerance was 346 ± 43 W, 353 ± 45 W, and 392 ± 69 W for RI-50, RI-25, and RI-10, respectively (P < 0.05 for RI-10 vs RI-50 and RI-25). At intolerance, in RI-50 and RI-25, Piso was not different from RI peak power (P > 0.05), thus there was no "power reserve." In RI-10, Piso was greater than RI peak power at intolerance (P < 0.001), that is, there was a "power reserve." CONCLUSIONS In RI-50 and RI-25, the absence of a power reserve suggests the neuromuscular fatigue-induced reduction in Piso coincided with V˙O2max and limited the exercise. In RI-10, the power reserve suggests neuromuscular fatigue was insufficient to limit the exercise, and additional mechanisms contributed to intolerance at V˙O2max.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary complications such as pneumonia, pulmonary atelectasis, and subsequent respiratory failure leading to ventilatory support are a common occurrence in critically ill patients. Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) is used to improve gas exchange and promote airway clearance in these patients. The current evidence regarding the effectiveness of intrapulmonary percussive ventilation in critical care settings remains unclear. This systematic review aims to summarise the evidence of the effectiveness of intrapulmonary percussive ventilation on intensive care unit length of stay (ICU-LOS) and respiratory outcomes in critically ill patients. Research question In critically ill patients, is intrapulmonary percussive ventilation effective in improving respiratory outcomes and reducing intensive care unit length of stay. Methods A systematic search of intrapulmonary percussive ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU) was performed on five databases from 1979 to 2021. Studies were considered for inclusion if they evaluated the effectiveness of IPV in patients aged ≥16 years receiving invasive or non-invasive ventilation or breathing spontaneously in critical care or high dependency units. Study titles and abstracts were screened, followed by data extraction by a full-text review. Due to a small number of studies and observed heterogeneities in the study methodology and patient population, a meta-analysis could not be included in this review. Outcomes of interest were summarised narratively. Results Out of 306 identified abstracts, seven studies (630 patients) met the eligibility criteria. Results of the included studies provide weak evidence to support the effectiveness of intrapulmonary percussive ventilation in reducing ICU-LOS, improving gas exchange, and reducing respiratory rate. Interpretation Based on the findings of this review, the evidence to support the role of IPV in reducing ICU-LOS, improving gas exchange, and reducing respiratory rate is weak. The therapeutic value of IPV in airway clearance, preventing pneumonia, and treating pulmonary atelectasis requires further investigation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Children have few small alveoli, which reduce lung compliance; in contrast, their cartilaginous rib cage makes their chest wall highly compliant. This combination promotes lung collapse. Prolonged inspiratory to expiratory (I:E) ratio ventilation is used to optimize gas exchange and respiratory mechanics in surgery. However, the optimal ratio is unclear in children. We hypothesized that, compared to a 1:2 I:E ratio, a 1:1 I:E ratio would improve dynamic compliance and oxygenation, and affect the peak airway pressure in pediatric patients undergoing surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight patients aged ≤6 years who were scheduled to undergo surgery under general anesthesia with an arterial line were randomly allocated to receive 1:1 (group 1:1) or 1:2 (group 1:2) I:E ratio ventilation. Airway pressure, respiratory system compliance, and arterial blood gas analyses were compared between groups immediately after induction (T0), 30 min after induction (T1), 60 min after induction (T2), immediately after surgery (T3), and on arrival at the post-anesthesia care unit (T4). RESULTS Peak and plateau airway pressures were significantly lower in group 1:1 than in group 1:2 at T1 (p=0.044 and 0.048, respectively). The dynamic and static compliances were significantly higher in group 1:1 than in group 1:2 at T1 (p=0.044 and 0.045, respectively). However, the partial pressure of oxygen did not significantly differ between groups. CONCLUSION Compared to a 1:2 I:E ratio, a 1:1 I:E ratio improved dynamic compliance and lowered the peak airway pressure without complications in pediatric patients. Nevertheless, our results do not support its use solely for improving oxygenation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Previous studies reported higher oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) in healthy young adult females as compared to males. The objective of the current study was to evaluate whether or not similar differences exist in prepubertal children. METHODS SpO2 levels, respiratory rate, and pulse were measured in 4- to 10-year-old males and females. Anthropometric variables, including ethnic origin, age, height, weight, BMI (Body Mass Index), BSA (Body Surface Area), barometric pressure, and altitude above sea level were collected as well. RESULTS Ninety five males and 93 females participated in the study. Groups were similar, in terms of respiratory rate, pulse, and anthropometric variables. Mean SpO2 in males was 96.95 ± 1.09%, similar to SpO2 in females measuring 96.85 ± 0.98%, P = .52. CONCLUSION In contrast to young adults, there is no gender-related difference in mean oxygen saturation in prepubertal healthy children. It is likely that this difference is due to variations in age-related sex hormones. Further studies are needed to explore the mechanism explaining why prepubertal children do not show gender-specific differences in oxygen saturation in contrast to adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased pleural pressure affects the mechanics of breathing of people with class III obesity (BMI > 40 kg/m2). RESEARCH QUESTION What are the acute effects of CPAP titrated to match pleural pressure on cardiopulmonary function in spontaneously breathing patients with class III obesity? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We enrolled six participants with BMI within normal range (control participants, group I) and 12 patients with class III obesity (group II) divided into subgroups: IIa, BMI of 40 to 50 kg/m2; and IIb, BMI of ≥ 50 kg/m2. The study was performed in two phases: in phase 1, participants were supine and breathing spontaneously at atmospheric pressure, and in phase 2, participants were supine and breathing with CPAP titrated to match their end-expiratory esophageal pressure in the absence of CPAP. Respiratory mechanics, esophageal pressure, and hemodynamic data were collected, and right heart function was evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography. RESULTS The levels of CPAP titrated to match pleural pressure in group I, subgroup IIa, and subgroup IIb were 6 ± 2 cmH2O, 12 ± 3 cmH2O, and 18 ± 4 cmH2O, respectively. In both subgroups IIa and IIb, CPAP titrated to match pleural pressure decreased minute ventilation (IIa, P = .03; IIb, P = .03), improved peripheral oxygen saturation (IIa, P = .04; IIb, P = .02), improved homogeneity of tidal volume distribution between ventral and dorsal lung regions (IIa, P = .22; IIb, P = .03), and decreased work of breathing (IIa, P < .001; IIb, P = .003) with a reduction in both the work spent to initiate inspiratory flow as well as tidal ventilation. In five hypertensive participants with obesity, BP decreased to normal range, without impairment of right heart function. INTERPRETATION In ambulatory patients with class III obesity, CPAP titrated to match pleural pressure decreased work of breathing and improved respiratory mechanics while maintaining hemodynamic stability, without impairing right heart function.
