Respiration during heat stress.

C Saxton

    Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Human body temperature changes affect vital signs. Increased deep body temperature raises heart rate and tidal volume while decreasing respiratory rate, impacting pulmonary ventilation and end-tidal carbon dioxide.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Human thermoregulation
    • Cardiopulmonary responses

    Background:

    • Understanding human physiological responses to thermal stress is crucial for various fields, including sports science, occupational health, and clinical medicine.
    • Previous research has explored the effects of elevated body temperature on cardiovascular and respiratory systems, but specific responses to different rates of temperature increase require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of controlled increases in deep body temperature on key physiological parameters in resting human subjects.
    • To determine if the rate of body temperature increase influences these physiological responses, specifically heart rate, pulmonary ventilation, tidal volume, respiratory rate, and end-tidal carbon dioxide tension.

    Main Methods:

    • Human subjects were monitored at rest while their deep body temperature was increased by 1°C and 2°C.
    • Two different rates of temperature increase were employed for each target temperature.
    • Measurements included heart rate, pulmonary ventilation, tidal volume, respiratory rate, and end-tidal carbon dioxide tension.

    Main Results:

    • An increase in deep body temperature was consistently associated with an elevated heart rate and tidal volume, alongside a decreased respiratory rate.
    • Significant increases in pulmonary ventilation and reductions in end-tidal carbon dioxide tension were observed only when deep body temperature rose by 1.5°C.
    • No statistically significant differences in pulmonary ventilation or end-tidal carbon dioxide tension were found between rapid and slower rates of temperature increase for a 2°C rise.

    Conclusions:

    • Deep body temperature elevation significantly alters cardiovascular and respiratory parameters in resting humans.
    • The threshold for notable changes in pulmonary ventilation and end-tidal carbon dioxide appears to be around a 1.5°C increase in body temperature.
    • The rate of body temperature increase, within the tested parameters, did not significantly impact these specific physiological responses.
