Respiratory Responses during Exercise in Self-contained Breathing Apparatus among Firefighters and Nonfirefighters

BACKGROUND: Firefighters are required to use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), which impairs ventilatory mechanics. We hypothesized that firefighters have elevated arterial CO(2) when using SCBA. METHODS: Firefighters and controls performed a maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer and t...
