Careful scrutiny of the resting electrocardiogram (ECG) is imperative prior to the test. If the subject is unwell, e.g. with a viral illness or an exacerbation of asthma, the test should be postponed. On the day of the test, the subject should take their usual medication.

In a normal subject, the VeqCO2 fall gradually during exercise, as ventilation–perfusion matching improves, to a value of <30. In lung disease, the lowest value remains >30. Beyond the anaerobic threshold (AT), VE increases in order to get rid of CO2 produced from buffering of lactic acid.

Information from a CPET helps quantify the risk of a surgical intervention and is used in planning post-operative care. Performance in a CPET is a predictor of subsequent mortality. A CPET should be preceded by a full clinical history and a thorough clinical examination.
