Article Synopsis
- * A study used the P0.1 value to assess the respiratory drive in VAD patients and found that while pulmonary function tests were normal, the P0.1 (CO2) index in VAD patients was significantly lower than in controls, indicating potential respiratory control impairment.
- * The results suggest that the dysfunction in breathing response to CO2 in VAD patients may be rooted in brainstem control mechanisms, highlighting the need for further investigation into neurological impacts related to LFN exposure.
