Periodic ventilation: consequences for the bodily CO2 stores and gas exchange efficiency

Highlights • Periodic ventilation is intrinsically less efficient for CO2 excretion. • Inefficiency is due to the arrangement of the storage capacities of the compartments. • CO2 transport becomes more prone to perfusion and diffusion limitation. • Inefficiency increase with the apnoeic duration and...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Periodic ventilation is intrinsically less efficient for CO2 excretion. • Inefficiency is due to the arrangement of the storage capacities of the compartments. • CO2 transport becomes more prone to perfusion and diffusion limitation. • Inefficiency increase with the apnoeic duration and relative time spent apnoeic. • Inefficiency can be compensated by temporal matching of blood flow to ventilation.
