Changes of respiratory input impedance during breathing in humans

M. Cauberghs and K. P. Van de Woestijne
Laboratorium voor Pneumologie, Universitair Ziekenhuis Gasthuisberg, Louvain, Belgium.

Changes of total respiratory resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs) were studied between 8 and 32 Hz at five moments during the respiratory cycle in healthy adults (group A) and children (group B) and in patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (group C) and with upper airway obstruction (group D). Two forced oscillation techniques were used: the conventional one and the head generator, with the oscillations applied at the mouth and around the head of the subject, respectively. Both techniques yielded similar results. Rrs is lowest during the transition from inspiration to expiration and highest in the course of expiration, except in group D. Mean Xrs is highest at the transitions from inspiration to expiration or vice versa and lowest during expiration, except in group D. In groups C and D, the increases of Rrs are accompanied by a more pronounced negative frequency dependence of Rrs. The variations of Rrs and Xrs appear to be markedly flow dependent and may be a consequence of the interaction of breathing with oscillatory flows.
