We have compared two techniques for measuring bronchial blood flow in anesthetized, open-chest, ventilated dogs at varying levels of PEEP. Bronchial blood flow ( Qbr ) to the left lower lobe (LLL) and trachea was measured with radiolabeled microspheres. Total Qbr was partitioned into tracheal, bronchial, and parenchymal fractions. We also measured the bronchopulmonary anastomotic flow ( Qbra ) by attaching cannulas from the lobar pulmonary artery and vein to reservoirs, interrupting the LLL pulmonary blood flow and collecting the flow going into the reservoirs. We measured Qbr and Qbra in 10 animals ventilated with varying levels of PEEP (3, 10, and 15 cmH2O) applied randomly. Pulmonary venous pressure was kept at 0 cmH2O. There was no difference observed between Qbr and Qbra at PEEP 3 and 10 cmH2O, but at PEEP 15 cmH2O, Qbr was greater than Qbra , suggesting that at low left atrial pressures bronchial blood flow drains mainly to the left atrium, whereas at elevated alveolar pressures a larger fraction empties into the right side of the heart. PEEP decreased LLL Qbr and Qbra (P less than 0.01). That fraction of Qbr going to the trachea did not change with PEEP. However, the bronchial and parenchymal fractions decreased.","PeriodicalId":15258,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied physiology: respiratory, environmental and exercise physiology","volume":"34 1","pages":"1289-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84591373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Resting values of arterial CO2 pressure (Pco2) ranged from 32 to 48 Torr. In each condition, arterial Pco2 was regulated to a similar degree in exercise due to changes in the slope of the ventilation-CO2 production relationship (delta Vi/delta Vco2) in accordance with the requirements of gas exchange. delta Vi/delta Vco2 increased with serotonin depletion both before and after CBX. The principal component of ventilation contributing to changes in delta Vi/delta Vco2 was tidal volume.

Interobserver variability was 4.7% in the quiet-breathing method and 6.3% in the panting method. The two methods gave equivalent results for sGaw. A slightly greater sGaw was found by the panting method in normal subjects with the highest sGaw values, probably due to widening of the oropharynx-glottis during panting. In six normal subjects studied for intrasubject variability over time, no significant diurnal or day-to-day variability was seen by either method.

Experiments were performed on rats to determine if hypoxic insomnia is mediated by peripheral chemoreceptors and if normal sleep is restored during acclimatization to low O2. Novel methods were devised to measure distribution of amplitudes of cortical slow waves during NREM sleep and to detect REM sleep from the ratio of amplitudes of theta-to delta-frequency bands in the hippocampal electroencephalogram (EEG). Acute exposure of rats to 10.5% O2 (5,030 m altitude equivalent) during daylight hours virtually abolished REM sleep and shifted the distribution of amplitudes of slow-wave sleep EEG toward awake values. Similar disruption of sleep occurred during inhalation of 0.05% CO with steady-state carboxyhemoglobin of approximately 35%. Respiratory rate and alveolar ventilation were greatly increased by 10.5% O2 but were unaffected by CO. Therefore, hypoxic disruption of sleep was not mediated by peripheral chemoreceptors regulating breathing. Partial recovery of sleep occurred after 1-2 wk of hypoxia, but both REM and NREM were still subnormal after 1 mo. Decreased intensity of NREM sleep during hypoxia, measured by amplitude of cortical slow waves, may explain the disparity between subjective complaints of insomnia at altitude and evaluations of sleep by direct observation or by conventional EEG. Loss of appetite, loss of weight, irritability, and other symptoms of altitude sickness may be related to hypoxic insomnia.</p>","PeriodicalId":15258,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied physiology: respiratory, environmental and exercise physiology","volume":"57 6","pages":"1696-703"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1152/jappl.1984.57.6.1696","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"17599356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
