SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: one night

CO2 reserve is the requisite change to induce central apnea is referred to as the CO2 reserve, which can be positive or negative. CO2 reserve is defined as the difference between the eupneic end-tidal CO2 pressure and the end-tidal CO2 pressure induced by the ventilation protocol that is sufficient to trigger a central apnea as defined by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

Controller gain is a ventilatory response to changes in end-tidal PCO2. Controller gain was calculated by dividing the difference in minute ventilation between the post-mechanical ventilation induced by the ventilation protocol and steady-state respiration by the difference in the end-tidal CO2 pressure between the mechanical ventilation and steady-state respiration.

Plant gain is a blood gas response to a change in ventilation. This measure represents the effectiveness of the "plant" in eliminating CO2. Steady-state plant gain was calculated from the ratio of end-tidal CO2 to minute ventilation during stable respiration.
