Noninvasive ventilation with a plateau exhalation valve (PEV) is often used as an adjunct to exercise to achieve a physiologic training effect in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. However, during exercise, with the increase of exhalation flow and respiratory rate and limited capability of PEV to exhale gases out of the circuit, it is still unknown whether CO2 rebreathing occurs in COPD patients ventilated during exercise assisted by single-limb circuit with a PEV. A maximal symptom-limited cycle exercise test was performed while ventilated on pressure support (inspiratory: expiratory pressure 14: 4 cmH(2)O) in 18 male patients with stable severe COPD (mean +/- standard deviation, forced expiratory volume in 1 s: 29.5%+/- 6.9% predicted). At rest and during exercise, breathing pattern, mean expiratory flow, mean expiratory flow of PEV, and the mean inspiratory fraction of CO2 (tidal fractional concentration of inspired CO2 [FiCO(2)]) reinsufflated from the circuit was measured for each breath. In comparison with rest, with the significant increase of mean expiratory flow (0.39 +/- 0.15 vs 0.82 +/- 0.27 L/s), fractional concentration of end-tidal CO2 (2.6%+/- 0.7% vs 5.5%+/- 0.6%), and the significant decrease of mean expiratory flow of PEV (0.41 +/- 0.02 vs 0.39 +/- 0.03 L/s), tidal FiCO(2) significantly increased at peak exercise (0.48%+/- 0.19% vs 1.8%+/- 0.6%) in patients with stable severe COPD. The inflection point of obvious CO2 rebreathing was 0.67 +/- 0.09 L/s (95% confidence interval 0.60-0.73 L/s). Ventilated by a single-limb tubing with PEV caused CO2 rebreathing to COPD patients during exercise. Patients with mean expiratory flow.0.60-0.73 L/s may be predisposed to a higher risk of CO2 rebreathing.
