Para estudiar las modificaciones que produce el ciclo menstrual en la ventilación, analizamos los índices del patrón ventilatorio en reposo en 11 mujeres en edad fértil y con ciclo menstrual normal. Se observó un ligero aumento de la ventilación (p < 0,05) en la fase luteínica conseguido por la conjunción, a pequeña escala, de unos cambios no significativos del patrón ventilatorio con el probable aumento del impulso neural y el incremento muy ligero del VT, disminución del tiempo espiratorio y la pausa teleespiratoria y aumento de la relación tiempo inspiratorio/tiempo total. Los cambios no se correlacionaron con los niveles plasmáticos de progesterona.

To evaluate the changes in ventilation during the menstural cycle we investigated the resting ventilatory indexes in 11 females in fertile age and with normal menstrual cycles. A mild increase in ventilation (p < 0,05) during luteinic phase was found. It was due to the summation, in a small degree, of nonsignificant changes of the respiratory pattern with the probable increase in neural drive and the very slight increase in VT, a decrease in expiratory time and end-expiratory pause, and an increase in the inspiratory time/total time ratio. These changes were not correlated with the progesterone plasma levels.
