Lactatémie trois minutes après une EFX : un critère de maximalité chez le patient BPCO

It was not possible to use [La−max] to confirm exhaustion in our population. However, [La−recovery] < 5.8 mmol/L may help to confirm non-exhaustion during GXT in patients with COPD. Below this blood lactate threshold 93% patients performed a sub-maximal GXT.
