Premature birth may result in specific cardiovascular responses to hypoxia and hypercapnia, that might hamper high-altitude acclimatization. This study investigated the consequences of premature birth on baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) under hypoxic, hypobaric and hypercapnic conditions. Seventeen preterm born males (gestational age, 29 ± 1 weeks), and 17 age-matched term born adults (40 ± 0 weeks) underwent consecutive 6-min stages breathing different oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations at both sea-level and high-altitude (3375 m). Continuous blood pressure and ventilatory parameters were recorded in normobaric normoxia (NNx), normobaric normoxic hypercapnia (NNx + CO ₂ ), hypobaric hypoxia (HHx), hypobaric normoxia (HNx), hypobaric normoxia hypercapnia (HNx + CO ₂ ), and hypobaric hypoxia with end-tidal CO ₂ clamped at NNx value (HHx + clamp). BRS was assessed using the sequence method. Across all conditions, BRS was lower in term born compared to preterm (13.0 ± 7.5 vs. 21.2 ± 8.8 ms⋅mmHg ^-1 , main group effect: p < 0.01) participants. BRS was lower in HHx compared to NNx in term born (10.5 ± 4.9 vs. 16.0 ± 6.0 ms⋅mmHg ^-1 , p = 0.05), but not in preterm (27.3 ± 15.7 vs. 17.6 ± 8.3 ms⋅mmHg ^-1 , p = 0.43) participants, leading to a lower BRS in HHx in term born compared to preterm (p < 0.01). In conclusion, this study reports a blunted response of BRS during acute high-altitude exposure without any influence of changes in inspired CO ₂ in healthy prematurely born adults.
