Abstract
We read with interest the correspondence by de Paoli et al. regarding the interpretation of oxygen pulse (VO2/HR) after minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE).1 While the authors raise relevant methodological concerns, describing postoperative changes as a “physiological mirage” risks oversimplifying a complex physiological response.
