RESUMO

Objective: This study aimed to systematically analyze the existing literature and conduct a meta-analysis on the acute effects of apnea on the hematological response by assessing changes in hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and hematocrit (Hct) values. Methods: Searches in Pubmed, The Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were carried out for studies in which the main intervention was voluntary hypoventilation, and Hb and Hct values were measured. Risk of bias and quality assessments were performed. Results: Nine studies with data from 160 participants were included, involving both subjects experienced in breath-hold sports and physically active subjects unrelated to breath-holding activities. The GRADE scale showed a "high" confidence for Hb concentration, with a mean absolute effect of 0.57 g/dL over control interventions. "Moderate" confidence appeared for Hct, where the mean absolute effect was 2.45% higher over control interventions. Hb concentration increased to a greater extent in the apnea group compared to the control group (MD = 0.57 g/dL [95% CI 0.28, 0.86], Z = 3.81, p = 0.0001) as occurred with Hct (MD = 2.45% [95% CI 0.98, 3.93], Z = 3.26, p = 0.001). Conclusions: Apnea bouts lead to a significant increase in the concentration of Hb and Hct with a high and moderate quality of evidence, respectively. Further trials on apnea and its application to different settings are needed.

RESUMO

Despite elite human free divers achieving incredible feats in competitive free diving, there has yet to be a study that compares consummate divers, (i.e. northern elephant seals) to highly conditioned free divers (i.e., elite competitive free-diving humans). Herein, we compare these two diving models and suggest that hematological traits detected in seals reflect species-specific specializations, while hematological traits shared between the two species are fundamental mammalian characteristics. Arterial blood samples were analyzed in elite human free divers (n = 14) during a single, maximal volitional apnea and in juvenile northern elephant seals (n = 3) during rest-associated apnea. Humans and elephant seals had comparable apnea durations (∼6.5 min) and end-apneic arterial Po2 [humans: 40.4 ± 3.0 mmHg (means ± SE); seals: 27.1 ± 5.9 mmHg; P = 0.2]. Despite similar increases in arterial Pco2 (humans: 33 ± 5%; seals: 16.3 ± 5%; P = 0.2), only humans experienced reductions in pH from baseline (humans: 7.45 ± 0.01; seals: 7.39 ± 0.02) to end apnea (humans: 7.37 ± 0.01; seals: 7.38 ± 0.02; P < 0.0001). Hemoglobin P50 was greater in humans compared to elephant seals (29.9 ± 1.5 and 28.7 ± 0.6 mmHg, respectively; P = 0.046). Elephant seals overall had higher carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels (5.9 ± 2.6%) compared to humans (0.8 ± 1.2%; P < 0.0001); however, following apnea, COHb was reduced in seals (baseline: 6.1 ± 0.3%; end apnea: 5.6 ± 0.3%) and was slightly elevated in humans (baseline: 0.7 ± 0.1%; end apnea: 0.9 ± 0.1%; P < 0.0002, both comparisons). Our data indicate that during static apnea, seals have reduced hemoglobin P50, greater pH buffering, and increased COHb levels. The differences in hemoglobin P50 are likely due to the differences in the physiological environment between the two species during apnea, whereas enhanced pH buffering and higher COHb may represent traits selected for in elephant seals.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study uses similar methods and protocols in elite human free divers and northern elephant seals. Using highly conditioned divers (elite free-diving humans) and highly adapted divers (northern elephant seals), we explored which hematological traits are fundamentally mammalian and which may have been selected for. We found differences in P50, which may be due to different physiological environments between species, while elevated pH buffering and carbon monoxide levels might have been selected for in seals.

RESUMO

The human spleen acts as a reservoir for red blood cells, which is mobilized into the systemic circulation during various conditions such as hypoxia and physical exertion. Cross-country (XC) skiers, renowned for their exceptional aerobic capacity, are regularly exposed to high-intensity exercise and local oxygen deficits. We investigated a putative dose-dependent relationship between splenic contraction and concomitant hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) elevation across four exercise intensities in well-trained XC skiers. Fourteen male XC skiers voluntarily participated in a 2-day protocol, encompassing a serial apnea test and a V ˙ O2max test (day 1), followed by three submaximal exercise intensities on a roller skiing treadmill corresponding to 55, 70, and 85% of V ˙ O2max (day 2). Spleen volume was measured via ultrasonic imaging, and venous blood samples were used to determine [Hb] levels. Baseline spleen volume was similar (266(35) mL) for all conditions (NS). Notably, all conditions induced significant splenic contractions and transient [Hb] elevations. The V ˙ O2max test exhibited the most pronounced splenic contraction (35.8%, p < 0.001) and a [Hb] increase of 8.1%, while the 85% exercise intensity led to 27.1% contraction and the greatest [Hb] increase (8.3%, < 0.001) compared to baseline. The apnea test induced relatively smaller responses (splenic contraction: 20.4%, [Hb] = 3.3%, p < 0.001), akin to the response observed at the 70% exercise intensity (splenic contraction = 23%, [Hb] = 6.4%, p < 0,001) and 55% (splenic contraction = 20.0%, [Hb] = 4.8%, p < 0.001). This study shows a discernible dose-dependent relationship between splenic contraction and [Hb] increase with levels of exercise, effectively distinguishing between submaximal and maximal exercise intensity.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Determinar a influência da presença de cafeína no sangue de cordão umbilical na ocorrência de apneia. MÉTODOS: Estudo de coorte prospectivo de recém-nascidos pré-termo com peso de nascimento menor que 2.000 g. Os critérios de exclusão foram: mães que receberam opioides; ventilação mecânica durante os primeiros 4 dias de vida; malformações cerebrais e cardíacas maiores; asfixia perinatal; hemorragia peri-intraventricular grave; exsanguineotransfusão antes do quarto dia de vida; e uso de metilxantina antes da extubação. Os recém-nascidos foram divididos em com e sem cafeína detectável no sangue de cordão umbilical, sendo acompanhados nos primeiros 4 dias para verificar ocorrência de apneia. RESULTADOS: Oitenta e sete recém-nascidos com e 40 sem cafeína detectável no sangue de cordão umbilical foram estudados. A mediana da concentração de cafeína dos 87 pacientes com cafeína detectável no sangue de cordão umbilical foi 2,3 µg/mL (0,2-9,4 µg/mL). Não houve associação entre ocorrência de apneia e presença de cafeína no sangue de cordão umbilical. Recém-nascidos com cafeína detectável no cordão umbilical tiveram tendência a apresentar apneia mais tardiamente (66,3±4,14 horas) do que aqueles com níveis indetectáveis (54,2±6,26 horas). CONCLUSÃO: A detecção de níveis de cafeína no sangue de cordão umbilical não diminuiu a ocorrência de apneia da prematuridade, mas teve um efeito limítrofe atrasando sua ocorrência, o que sugere que mesmo um nível baixo de cafeína no sangue de cordão umbilical pode retardar a ocorrência de apneia.


OBJECTIVE: To determine the influence of presence of caffeine in umbilical cord blood on apnea occurrence. METHODS: A prospective cohort study with preterm newborns with birth weight lower than 2,000 g was undertaken. Exclusion criteria were: mothers who received opioids; mechanical ventilation during the first 4 days of life; cerebral and major cardiac malformations; perinatal asphyxia; severe periintraventricular hemorrhage; exchange transfusion before the fourth day of life; and those who received methylxantine prior to extubation. Neonates were divided into detectable and undetectable caffeine in umbilical cord blood. Newborns were followed for the first 4 days for occurrence of apnea spells. RESULTS: Eighty-seven newborns with and 40 without detectable caffeine in umbilical cord blood were studied. Median caffeine concentration of the 87 patients with detectable caffeine in umbilical blood was 2.3 µg/mL (0.2-9.4 µg/mL). There was no association between occurrence of apnea spells and presence of caffeine in umbilical cord blood. Neonates with detectable caffeine in umbilical blood had borderline later apnea (66.3±4.14 hours) than those with undetectable levels (54.2±6.26 hours). CONCLUSION: Detected levels of caffeine in umbilical cord blood did not decrease occurrence of apnea of prematurity, but it had a borderline effect delaying its occurrence, suggesting that even a low level of caffeine in umbilical cord blood might delay occurrence of apnea spells.
