Respiratory responses in reversible diaphragm paralysis.

M L Nochomovitz, M Goldman, J Mitra

    Journal of Applied Physiology: Respiratory, Environmental and Exercise Physiology

    Summary

    Diaphragm paralysis in dogs increases respiratory electrical activity via vagal nerve reflexes, not the Hering-Breuer reflex. This compensation helps maintain breathing patterns during respiratory challenges.

    Area of Science:

    • Respiratory Physiology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Diaphragm paralysis impairs breathing mechanics.
    • Compensatory respiratory responses are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of transient diaphragm paralysis on respiratory activity in dogs.
    • To elucidate the role of vagal nerve reflexes in respiratory compensation.

    Main Methods:

    • Transient diaphragm paralysis induced by phrenic nerve cooling in anesthetized dogs.
    • Respiratory activity monitored via ventilation, intercostal muscle, and phrenic nerve electrical activity.
    • Transdiaphragmatic pressure and rib cage/abdominal displacements measured.
    • Studies conducted before and after vagotomy, with varying oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.

    Main Results:

    • Intact vagi: Increased phrenic and intercostal electrical activity, decreased tidal volume, and increased breathing frequency.
    • Vagotomy: No significant change in respiratory electrical activity despite increased CO2; ventilation and tidal volume decreased.
    • Inspiratory time remained unchanged, while the rate of phrenic nerve activity increased.

    Conclusions:

    • Vagal nerve-mediated mechanisms are crucial for the compensatory increase in respiratory electrical activity during diaphragm paralysis.
    • Reflexes beyond the Hering-Breuer reflex contribute to respiratory adjustments.
    • Diaphragm paralysis affects respiratory control differently with and without vagal input.
