| Shrnutí: | Purpose
Pathogen transmission during cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is caused by carrier aerosols generated during respiration.
Methods
Ten healthy volunteers (age range: 34 ± 15; 4 females) were recruited to see if the physiological reactions to ramp-incremental CPET on a cycle ergometer were affected using an in-line filter placed between the mouthpiece and the flow sensor. The tests were in random order with or without an in-line bacterial/viral spirometer filter. The work rate aligned, time interpolated 10 s bin data were compared throughout the exercise period.
Results
From rest to peak exercise, filter use increased only minute ventilation (

E
) (Δ

E
= 1.56 ± 0.70 L/min,
P

) (Δ

= 0.10 ± 0.11 L,

was positive (0.035 ± 0.041 (Δ

P

but not metabolic rate.
Conclusion
In conclusion, using an in-line filter is feasible, does not affect appreciably the physiological variables, and may mitigate risk of aerosol dispersion during CPET. |
