COVID-19 and silent hypoxemia in a minimal closed-loop model of the respiratory rhythm generator
2023-04-19
Abstract excerpt
Silent hypoxemia, or ‘happy hypoxia’, is a puzzling phenomenon in which patients who have contracted COVID-19 exhibit very low oxygen saturation (SaO 2 < 80%) but do not experience discomfort in breathing. The mechanism by which this blunted response to hypoxia occurs is unknown. We have previously shown that a computational model (Diekman et al., 2017, J. Neurophysiol) of the respiratory neural network can be us...
