    Carbon monoxide inhalation increased brain blood flow in goats during wakefulness and sleep. This increase was greatest during rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, suggesting a role in ventilatory control.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Physiology
    • Sleep Studies

    Background:

    • Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure affects oxygen transport and brain function.
    • Brain blood flow (BBF) regulation is crucial, especially during sleep.
    • Understanding ventilatory responses to hypoxia is vital for respiratory control research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the simultaneous effects of CO inhalation on BBF and ventilation in awake and sleeping goats.
    • To compare the changes in BBF and ventilation across different sleep stages (wakefulness, slow-wave sleep, REM sleep).
    • To explore the relationship between increased cerebral perfusion and ventilatory depression during REM sleep.

    Main Methods:

    • Simultaneous measurement of ventilation and BBF using an electromagnetic flow probe around the internal maxillary artery in goats.

  • Controlled CO inhalation to achieve up to 40% carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) levels.
  • Data analysis comparing BBF and ventilation changes during wakefulness, slow-wave sleep, and REM sleep.

    • Main Results:

    • BBF progressively increased with CO inhalation in all states (awake, slow-wave sleep, REM sleep).
    • The increase in BBF during REM sleep was significantly greater compared to wakefulness and slow-wave sleep.
    • Ventilation was depressed during CO inhalation in both sleep stages but not in awake goats. Ventilatory depression in REM sleep was mainly due to reduced tidal volume.

    Conclusions:

    • CO inhalation leads to increased cerebral perfusion, particularly pronounced during REM sleep.
    • The heightened BBF during REM sleep may play a role in the observed ventilatory depression.
    • Relative tissue alkalosis near medullary chemoreceptors might contribute to ventilatory depression during REM sleep.
