Fig 2. Measurement of ventilatory response to hypercapnia.

Fig 2

Illustration of 2 different methods to calculate the ventilatory response to hypercapnia (HCVR) using the following 2 variables: Hypercapnia-all and Regression (Hypercapnia-all). Hypercapnia-all is the change in Ve (ΔVe) between baseline and the end of the study, divided by the reciprocal change in EtCO2 (ΔEtCO2) in the following form: HCVR = ΔVe/ΔCO2. Regression (Hypercapnia-all) is the slope of regression line of all measurements.
