Bates, Jason H. T., Thomas F. Schuessler, Carrie Dolman, and David H. Eidelman. Temporal dynamics of acute isovolume bronchoconstriction in the rat. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(1): 55-62, 1997.---The time course of lung impedance changes after intravenous injection of bronchial agonist have produced significant insights into the mechanisms of bronchoconstriction in the dog (J. H. T. Bates, A.-M. Lauzon, G. S. Dechman, G. N. Maksym, and T. F. Shuessler. J. Appl. Physiol. 76: 616-626, 1994). We studied the time course of acute induced bronchoconstriction in five anesthetized paralyzed open-chest rats injected intravenously with a bolus of methacholine. For the 16 s immediately after injection, we held the lung volume constant while applying small-amplitude flow oscillations at 1.48, 5.45, and 19.69 Hz simultaneously, which provided us with continuous estimates of lung resistance (RL) and elastance (EL) at each frequency. This procedure was repeated at initial lung inflation pressures of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 kPa. Both RL and EL increased progressively after methacholine administration; however, the rate of change of EL increased dramatically as frequency was increased, whereas RL remained relatively independent of frequency. We interpret these findings in terms of a three-compartment model of the rat lung, featuring two parallel alveolar compartments feeding into a central airway compartment. Model simulations support the notions that both central airway shunting and regional ventilation inhomogeneity developed to a significant degree in our constricted rats. We also found that the rates of increase in both RL and EL were greatly enhanced as the initial lung inflation pressure was reduced, in accord with the notion that parenchymal tethering is an important mechanism limiting the extent to which airways can narrow when their smooth muscle is stimulated to contract.
