    A 10-minute rest period is sufficient between repeated Read rebreathing tests. This short interval does not significantly impact CO2 response test results in healthy volunteers.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Respiratory Medicine

    Background:

    • The optimal rest period between repeated Read rebreathing tests to ensure reliable CO2 response measurements is not well-established.
    • Understanding test-retest reliability is crucial for accurate physiological assessments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the minimum rest interval required between serial Read rebreathing tests to avoid interference.
    • To assess the impact of short test intervals on CO2 response parameters.

    Main Methods:

    • Eight Read rebreathing CO2 response tests were administered to 8 healthy volunteers (4 male, 4 female) within a 2.5-hour period.
    • Test intervals as short as 10 minutes were utilized.
    • CO2 response curve slope and intercept were analyzed for time-dependent effects.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences in slope or intercept were observed based on test timing across all participants.
    • A minor, non-significant trend towards decreased slope was noted for tests 3 through 5.
    • Female participants exhibited a lower ventilatory response to CO2 challenge compared to males.

    Conclusions:

    • A 10-minute rest interval between repeated Read rebreathing tests does not appear to affect the reliability of CO2 response measurements.
    • The findings support the feasibility of conducting multiple Read rebreathing tests in a single session with short intervals.
    • Sex-based differences in CO2 response warrant consideration in clinical and research settings.
