Reply to Garcia-Tabar et al.: Quality control of open-circuit respirometry: real-time, laboratory-based systems. Let us spread "good practice"

Susan A Ward. Eur J Appl Physiol. 2018 Dec.

Abstract

Purpose: This article is in response to the Letter of Garcia-Tabar et al. [Eur J Appl Physiol (in press), 2018] relating to the issue of post-test sensor calibration 'verification'. This issue is poorly addressed in contemporary patient-related position statements on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).

Methods: Post-test sensor calibration verification approaches were compared.

Result: The potential impact on data quality of changing sensor calibration during the course of an exercise test was described.

Conclusion: It is recommended that post-test sensor calibration verification be incorporated into existing CPET 'best practice'.

Keywords: Calibration; Cardiopulmonary exercise testing; Sensors.
