Central ventilatory depression by oral propranolol.

S C Campbell, G L Lauver, R B Cobb

    Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Propranolol, a beta-blocker, reduced heart rate, blood pressure, and the body's response to carbon dioxide in healthy subjects. This indicates propranolol suppresses central ventilatory control.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Beta-adrenergic blockers like propranolol are widely used for cardiovascular conditions.
    • Their effects on respiratory control, particularly central ventilatory responses, require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of propranolol on cardiovascular parameters, airway function, and ventilatory responses to carbon dioxide in healthy individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving nine healthy subjects.
    • Administration of propranolol (20 mg orally four times daily) or placebo for 5 days.
    • Measurements included pulse rate, blood pressure, airway resistance, expiratory flow, spirometry, and ventilatory/occlusion pressure responses to CO2 rebreathing.

    Main Results:

    • Propranolol significantly decreased pulse rate, systolic, and diastolic blood pressure.
    • No significant changes were observed in airway resistance or helium-oxygen flow dynamics.
    • Propranolol attenuated isoproterenol's bronchodilatory effect and reduced ventilatory and occlusion pressure responses to carbon dioxide.

    Conclusions:

    • Propranolol exerts significant cardiovascular effects and suppresses central ventilatory control in healthy subjects.
    • The beta-adrenergic blockade by propranolol impacts the chemosensory response to hypercapnia.
