Trials·2017

Anatomical deadspace in the lungs remained similar during spontaneous and artificial ventilation. Airway compliance increased significantly with artificial ventilation, likely due to reduced bronchial muscle tone.

Area of Science:

Respiratory Physiology
Pulmonary Mechanics

Background:

Anatomical deadspace is crucial for understanding lung function.
Transpulmonary pressure influences airway dimensions and airflow resistance.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the relationship between anatomical deadspace and transpulmonary pressure.
To compare airway compliance during spontaneous breathing versus mechanical ventilation.

Main Methods:

Eight subjects were studied during spontaneous breathing and artificial ventilation.
Anatomical deadspace was measured using the equal area method with CO2.
Transpulmonary pressure was monitored via esophageal balloon and airway catheter.

Main Results:

Anatomical deadspace showed a linear relationship with transpulmonary pressure.

Airway compliance was 3.6 ml/cm H2O during spontaneous breathing.

Airway compliance was 7.4 ml/cm H2O during artificial ventilation.

Conclusions:

Anatomical deadspace volume is comparable between spontaneous and artificial ventilation.
Artificial ventilation increases airway compliance, potentially by reducing bronchial muscle tone.
