Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study aim is to monitor, during exercise tests carried out in various conditions, the alveolar dead space, by means of continuous transcutaneous measurement of Pt CO2, which would be used as a surrogate for arterial PaCO2. Validity of this measurement needs to be assessed against arterial sampling (either arterial, or arterialized capillary), especially with regards to the lag time required by the CO2 diffusion from the arterial compartment (PaCO2) to the cutaneous one (PtCO2), in particular when rapid changes of CO2 might be induced by exercise.

The evaluation will be done in 2 different settings:

* intensive care patients, equipped, for their routine clinical care, with an arterial line; this allows for a precise timed comparison between PaCO2 and PtCO2 readouts;
* routine exercise test, where blood gas evaluation is done essentially by means of arterialized earlobe capillary sampling.

Following assessment of validity of the measurement (and the lag time PaCO2-PtCO2 which might be necessary to introduce as a correction), evolution of dead space during excise test will be tested in different conditions: Healthy subjects, patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), chronic heart failure (CHF), hyperventilation, Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH), or interstitial lung disease (ILD)

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

A1: Patient in intensive care

Patient in intensive care (n=10):

in patients in the intensive care unit of the Centre Hospitalier Metropole Savoie (Chambéry, France), where repeated arterial blood gas analysis is routinely performed (Patients equipped for their usual care with an arterial catheter, enabling repeated arterial blood gas determination ).

PaCO2 and Pt CO2 will be measured simultaneously at rest, and during conditions inducing PaCO2 modifications (ventilator settings modifications, or exercise as per routine rehabilitation) Comparison will be done between arterial PaCO2 and PtCO2

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

simultaneous determination of PaCO2 and PtCO2

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients in intensive care, equipped, for their routine clinical management, with an arterial catheter blood line, will have a simultaneous determination of PaCO2 and PtCO2:

* 1\) at rest; 2 arterial CO2/PtCO2 determinations will be carried out, 10 minutes apart
* 2\) During the muscular exercise part of their routine rehabilitation program (whatever it might be, limbs active mobilization, walking, etc...) : several arterial /PtCO2 samples will be collected during the first minutes of their muscular routine: 30 sec, 1 minute, 1 ½ minute, 2, 2 ½ , 3, 4, 5 minutes, 10 minutes (end of exercise). This will generate several couples of blood/transcutaneous CO2 determinations

A2: Healthy subjects

Healthy subjects performing a voluntary hyperventilation, in the laboratory room where routine exercise testing is usually done.

Comparison will be done between arterialized PaCO2 and PtCO2, at rest, and during an induced voluntary hyperventilation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hyperventilation test

Intervention Type OTHER

Repeated pairs of PtCO2 and PaCO2 (through arterialized capillary sampling), will be measured at the following timing: rest (0), then 30 sec post beginning of hyperventilation (breathing with accelerated frequency e.g. 30/min), 1 minute, 1 ½ minute 2, 2 ½ , 3, , 4, 5 minutes; recovery of this hyperventilation will be followed, for 5 minutes, with the PtCO2, during 3 minutes

Exercise test

Intervention Type OTHER

an exercise test, according to the routine protocol used in the clinic: initial phase of 3 minutes gentle pedaling (10 to 50 watts, according to subject capabilities), then stepwise increase in the workload, by increments of 20-40 watts every minute, until maximum tolerated workload (VO2max). Repeated pairs of PtCO2 and PaCO2 (through arterialized capillary sampling), will be measured at the following timing: rest -10 minutes, 0, then 30 sec post beginning of exercise, 1 minute, 1 ½ minute 2, 2 ½, 3 minutes, then 3 ½ minutes, then at mid-point of every step increase in workload, until maximum tolerated workload. Recovery will be followed with the PtCO2, for 5 minutes

B1: Healthy subject

Subjects, referred for exercise diagnostic testing, and whose results indicate normal cardiac and pulmonary exercise physiology.

Measurement, throughout these exercise tests, of the alveolar dead space, and its kinetics, up to peak VO2, then during recovery, in the different conditions listed above. Alveolar dead space will be calculated using the continuous Pt CO2 values observed, and also with some intermittent PaCO2 measurement, done as per routine modus operandi (arterialized earlobe capillary drawn at rest, at ventilatory threshold, and at peak exercise). The values measured through PtCO2 and PaCO2 will be compared at these 3 time points.
