Oxygen Extraction Based on Inspiratory and Expiratory Gas Analysis Identifies Ventilatory Inefficiency in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Aims: In contrast to cardiovascular disease, low rather than high ventilatory inefficiency, evaluated by the minute ventilation-carbon dioxide output (V'E-V'CO2)-slope, has been recognized as being related to greater disease severity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To bett...
