Anxiogenic effects of CO2 and hyperventilation in patients with panic disorder

OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have indicated that patients with panic
disorder are more likely than normal subjects to have acute panic attacks
during inhalation of CO2, but methodological objections have been raised.
In this study the authors attempted to address three of these
methodological problems by ensuring that raters who assessed whether panic
attacks occurred were blind to subjects' diagnoses, by randomizing the
order of administration of 5% CO2 and hyperventilation, and by challenging
a greater number of subjects with 7% CO2. METHOD: Patients with panic
disorder and normal subjects underwent 20-minute inhalations of 5% CO2 and
7% CO2 and 15 minutes of room-air hyperventilation. Ratings of panic/no
panic during each condition were made separately by an assessor blind to
diagnosis and by the subject. Scores on four panic rating scales were also
recorded before and after each intervention. RESULTS: Room-air
hyperventilation caused panic attacks in a small number of patients; the
difference in panic rate between patients and comparison subjects was
statistically significant by the subjects' but not by the raters'
assessment. Panic rates during 5% CO2 and 7% CO2 were significantly greater
among the patients by both assessments; the panic rate was greatest during
7% CO2. Order of administration did not significantly affect panic rates
for hyperventilation and 5% CO2. CONCLUSIONS: Panic patients were clearly
more sensitive to the anxiogenic effects of CO2 than comparison subjects,
and CO2 was a more potent anxiogenic stimulus than room-air
hyperventilation. Seven percent CO2 discriminated best between patients and
comparison subjects and should be the focus of further research.
