    Abstract

    Pulmonary gas exchange efficiency, determined by the alveolar-to-arterial P o 2 difference (A-aD o 2), progressively worsens during exercise at sea-level; this response is further elevated during exercise in hypoxia. Traditionally, pulmonary gas exchange efficiency is assessed through measurements of ventilation and end-tidal gases paired with direct arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling. Because these measures have a number of caveats, particularly invasive blood sampling, the development of new approaches for the noninvasive assessment of pulmonary gas exchange is needed.
