Ventilatory support during whole-body row training improves oxygen uptake efficiency in patients with high-level spinal cord injury: A pilot study

Résumé

High-level spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by profound respiratory compromise. One consequence is a limitation of whole-body exercise-based rehabilitation, reducing its cardioprotective effect. We investigated the use of ventilatory support during training on cardiorespiratory response to exercise. Nine subjects with high-level SCI (T3-C4) were included in this double-blind sham-controlled study. All had training adaptations plateauing for more than 6 months before enrolling in the study. After performing baseline assessment, participants were randomly assigned to continue training with non-invasive ventilation (NIV: n = 6: IPAP = 20 ± 2, EPAP: 3 cmH2O) or sham (n = 3: IPAP = 5, EPAP: 3 cmH2O) for 3 months and performed again maximal exercise tests. We compared the oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES, the rate of increases in VO2 in relation to increasing VE) before and after training. Training with NIV increased OUES both compared to baseline (4.1 ± 1.1 vs. 3.4 ± 1.0, i.e. +20 ± 12%, p < 0.05) and Sham (p = 0.01), representing an increase in ability to uptake oxygen for a given ventilation. This result was sustained without NIV during the test, suggesting improved cardiopulmonary reserve. Best responders were the youngest whose characteristics were very similar to sham participants. In addition, NIV tended to increase weekly rowing distance by 24% (p = 0.09, versus 10% in sham). Our results are very suggestive of a positive effect of ventilatory support during whole-body exercise in high-level SCI. Training adaptations found are of great importance since this sub-population of patients have the greatest need for exercise-based cardio-protection.
