Article Synopsis
- The hyperventilation provocation test (HPTest) is being re-evaluated for diagnosing idiopathic hyperventilation syndrome (HVS), especially in long-COVID patients, focusing on important PETCO2 values.
- A study involving 37 HVS patients and 37 healthy controls found that a specific PETCO2 change during the HPTest could accurately identify HVS with high sensitivity (0.92) and specificity (0.84).
- The research suggests that objective HPTest results should be prioritized over subjective symptoms for better diagnosis of HVS.
