Abstrakt: Purpose: Cerebral hypoxia may exacerbate the perception of fatigue. We previously demonstrated that exercise-related hypoxemia, a hallmark of fibrotic interstitial lung disease ( f -ILD), dose dependently impairs cerebral oxygenation in these patients. It is unknown whether normalizing cerebral oxygenation with O 2 supplementation would be associated with positive changes in a relevant patient-centered outcome during exercise in f -ILD, such as improved perceived fatigue.
Methods: Fourteen patients (12 males, 72 ± 8 yr, 8 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide = 44% ± 13% predicted) performed a constant-load (60% peak work rate) cycle test to symptom limitation (Tlim) breathing medical air. Fourteen controls cycled up to Tlim of an age- and sex-matched patient. Patients repeated the test on supplemental O 2 (fraction of inspired O 2 = 0.41 ± 0.08) for the same duration. Near-infrared spectroscopy and the rating-of-fatigue (ROF) scale assessed prefrontal cortex oxygenation and perceived fatigue, respectively.
Results: Patients showed severe exertional hypoxemia (Tlim O 2 saturation by pulse oximetry = 80% ± 8%); they had poorer cerebral oxygenation (e.g., oxy-deoxyhemoglobin difference [HbDiff] = -3.5 ± 4.7 [range = -17.6 to +1.9] vs +1.9 ± 1.7 μmol from rest) and greater fatigue (ROF = 6.2 ± 2.0 vs 2.6 ± 2.3) versus controls under air ( P < 0.001). Reversal of exertional hypoxemia with supplemental O 2 led to improved HbDiff (+1.7 ± 2.4 μmol from rest; no longer differing from controls) and lower ROF scores (3.7 ± 1.2, P < 0.001 vs air) in patients. There was a significant correlation between O 2 -induced changes in HbDiff and ROF scores throughout exercise in f -ILD ( rrepeated-measures correlation = -0.51, P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Supplemental O 2 improved cerebral oxygenation during exercise in f -ILD, which was moderately associated with lower ratings of perceived fatigue. Reversing cerebral hypoxia with O 2 supplementation may thus have positive effects on patients' disablement beyond those expected from lower ventilation and dyspnea in this patient population.
