Fractal ventilation enhances respiratory sinus arrhythmia

BACKGROUND: Programming a mechanical ventilator with a biologically variable or fractal breathing pattern (an example of 1/f noise) improves gas exchange and respiratory mechanics. Here we show that fractal ventilation increases respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) – a mechanism known to improve venti...
