Summary: | •Hemodynamics is preserved during low-flow acute supplemental oxygen in elderly subjects.•Structural and functional damage in IPF patients deteriorate hemodynamics.•Low-flow acute supplemental oxygen further worsens hemodynamics in IPF patients.•A broad cardiopulmonary evaluation is needed before supplemental oxygen is prescribed.
Hemodynamic response to supplemental oxygen in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is still not well known.
To determine and compare the effect of low-flow acute supplemental oxygen on the hemodynamics of IPF patients and matched healthy subjects.
Descriptive and comparative study in 20 IPF-patients and 19 Control-subjects, (60-80 years old) breathing ambient air followed by acute nasal low-flow (3 L/min) supplemental oxygen. Non-invasive methods were used during the supine position to evaluate oxygen saturation, heart rate, stroke volume index, cardiac output index, total peripheral resistance and arterial blood pressure.
Breathing ambient air, IPF (vs. Control) presented lower values in stroke volume index (38.7 [29.4–43.2] vs. 45.4 [38.4–50.9] mL•kg-1•m2; p=0.009) and cardiac output index (2.484 [2.268 – 2.946] vs. 2.857 [2.628 – 3.054] L•min−1•m−2; p=0.028), with higher total peripheral resistance (1644 [1559–2076] vs. 1505 [1366–1784] dyne•s•cm−5; p=0.017). During supplemental oxygen (vs. ambient air), both groups increased oxygen saturation above 94% (p |
