Chronic hypercapnia (CH) is a hallmark of chronic lung disease, and CH increases the risk for acute-on-chronic exacerbations leading to greater hypoxemia/hypercapnia and poor health outcomes. However, the role of hypercapnia per se (duration and severity) in determining an individual’s ability to tolerate further hypercapnic exacerbations is unknown. Our primary objective herein was to test the hypothesis that mild-to-moderate CH (arterial PCO2 ∼50–70 mmHg) increases susceptibility to pathophysiological responses to severe acute CO2challenges. Three groups (GR) of adult female goats were studied during 14 days of exposure to room air (GR 1; control) or 6% inspired CO2(GR 2; mild CH), or 7 days of 6% inspired CO2followed by 7 days of 8% inspired CO2(GR 3; moderate CH). Consistent with previous reports, there were no changes in physiological parameters inGR 1(RA control), but mild CH (GR 2) increased steady-state ventilation and transiently suppressed CO2/[H+] chemosensitivity. Further increasing InCO2from 6% to 8% (GR 3) transiently increased ventilation and arterial [H+]. Similar to mild CH, moderate CH increased ventilation to levels greater than predicted. However, in contrast to mild CH, acute ventilatory chemosensitivity was suppressed throughout the duration of moderate CH, and the arterial − mixed expired CO2gradient became negative. These data suggest that moderate CH limits physiological responses to acute severe exacerbations and provide evidence of recruitment of extrapulmonary systems (i.e., gastric CO2elimination) during times of moderate-severe hypercapnia.NEW & NOTEWORTHYModerate levels of chronic hypercapnia (CH; ∼70 mmHg) in healthy adult female goats elicited similar steady-state physiological adaptations compared with mild CH (∼55 mmHg). However, unlike mild CH, moderate CH chronically suppressed acute CO2/[H+] chemosensitivity and reversed the arterial to mixed expired CO2gradient. These findings suggest that moderate CH suppresses vital mechanisms of ventilatory control and recruits additional physiological systems (i.e., gastric CO2release) to help buffer excess CO2.
