A model for the relation between respiratory neural and mechanical outputs. III. Validation

M. Younes, W. Riddle and J. Polacheck

In the preceding two communications we described a model for the relation between respiratory neural and mechanical outputs. In the present report we test the accuracy of the model in predicting volume and flow from occlusion pressure wave forms, and vice versa. We performed single-breath airway occlusions in 21 unconscious subjects and determined the time course of occlusion pressure. We also measured the passive properties of the respiratory system. The time course of volume and flow was predicted from the occlusion pressure wave forms, and the results were compared with the spontaneous breaths immediately preceding occlusion. Inspiratory duration, shape and amplitude of occlusion-pressure wave forms, and the passive properties of the respiratory system varied widely among subjects. There was good agreement between predicted and observed values in all cases. Except for some prolongation of inspiration (Hering-Breuer reflex), diaphragmatic activity did not change during occlusion. Since occlusion pressure is proportional to inspiratory activity, we conclude that the model described provides a good approximation of the relation between inspiratory activity and spirometric output.
