Steady-state response of normal subjects to inspiratory resistive load

V. Im Hof, P. West and M. Younes

Tidal volume (VT) is usually preserved when conscious humans are made to breathe against an inspiratory resistance. To identify the neural changes responsible for VT compensation we calculated the respiratory driving pressure waveform during steady-state unloaded and loaded breathing (delta R = 8.5 cmH2O X 1(-1) X s) in eight conscious normal subjects. Driving pressure (DP) was calculated according to the method of Younes et al. (J. Appl. Physiol. 51: 963-989, 1981), which provides the equivalent of occlusion pressure at functional residual capacity throughout the breath. VT during resistance breathing was 108% of unloaded VT, as opposed to a predicted value of 82% of control in the absence of neural compensation. Compensation was accomplished through three changes in the DP waveform: 1) peak amplitude increased (+/- 23%), 2) the duration of the rising phase increased (+42%); and 3) the rising phase became more concave to the time axis. There were no changes in the relative decay rate of inspiratory pressure during expiration, in the shape of the declining phase of DP, or in end-expiratory lung volume.
