Schneider, H., C. D. Schaub, K. A. Andreoni, A. R. Schwartz, R. L. Smith, J. L. Robotham, and C. P. O'Donnell. Systemic and pulmonary hemodynamic responses to normal and obstructed breathing during sleep. J. Appl. Physiol. 83(5): 1671-1680, 1997.---We examined the hemodynamic responses to normal breathing and induced upper airway obstructions during sleep in a canine model of obstructive sleep apnea. During normal breathing, cardiac output decreased (12.9 ± 3.5%, P < 0.025) from wakefulness to non-rapid-eye-movement sleep (NREM) but did not change from NREM to rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep. There was a decrease (P < 0.05) in systemic (7.2 ± 2.1 mmHg) and pulmonary (2.0 ± 0.6 mmHg) arterial pressures from wakefulness to NREM sleep. In contrast, systemic (8.1 ± 1.0 mmHg, P < 0.025), but not pulmonary, arterial pressures decreased from NREM to REM sleep. During repetitive airway obstructions (56.0 ± 4.7 events/h) in NREM sleep, cardiac output (17.9 ± 3.1%) and heart rate (16.2 ± 2.5%) increased (P < 0.05), without a change in stroke volume, compared with normal breathing during NREM sleep. During single obstructive events, left (7.8 ± 3.0%, P < 0.05) and right (7.1 ± 0.7%, P < 0.01) ventricular outputs decreased during the apneic period. However, left (20.7 ± 1.6%, P < 0.01) and right (24.0 ± 4.2%, P < 0.05) ventricular outputs increased in the postapneic period because of an increase in heart rate. Thus 1) the systemic, but not the pulmonary, circulation vasodilates during REM sleep with normal breathing; 2) heart rate, rather than stroke volume, is the dominant factor modulating ventricular output in response to apnea; and 3) left and right ventricular outputs oscillate markedly and in phase throughout the apnea cycle.
