Abstract
The effect of a menopausal hot flush on respiratory parameters was studied in one
subject on nine separate occasions. The flushes were associated with a significant
increase in the production of carbon dioxide and lesser but still significant changes
in oxygen consumption, tidal volume and minute volume. The changes in respiratory
frequency and respiratory quotient were not significant. Significant changes in carbon
dioxide production and oxygen consumption were still evident well into the climacteric.
