Most of the information concerning these reflex responses were obtained in anesthetized conditions with little applicability to awake conditions. Various aspects of cough and other reflexes on irritation of the airway mucosa are discussed. Studies on awake humans showed that stimulation of the laryngeal mucosa with a small amount of distilled water during wakefulness causes elicitation of the expiration reflex, cough reflex, and swallowing reflex while other types of responses are scarcely observed. In addition, the duration of these responses is remarkably short. In contrast, the same stimulation causes more variant, prolonged, and exaggerated responses during a light depth of anesthesia. An increase in depth of anesthesia abolishes expiratory efforts such as coughing and the expiration reflex whereas the apnoeic reflex and laryngeal closure reflex are resistant to the depressant effect of anesthesia. Also, the respiratory reflex responses to airway irritation varied, depending on the site of stimulation: both laryngeal and tracheal stimulation cause vigorous respiratory responses whereas bronchial stimulation causes little or no respiratory responses. These results indicate not only that the types and magnitude of reflex responses is greatly modified by the central nervous state but also that the site of stimulation is crucial for determining the pattern of respiratory responses elicited by airway stimulation in humans.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74618,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonary pharmacology","volume":"9 5","pages":"Pages 285-292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1006/pulp.1996.0037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20176897","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}

There are few studies in cough due to natural disease especially using objective techniques. This paper presents data from a series of randomized, double blind, placebo controlled clinical trials in cough due to both chronic bronchopulmonary disease and acute upper respiratory tract infections. In these studies, cough was quantified using a standardized and validated computerized system for the acquisition and multidimensional analysis of the cough sound. Key objective parameters like cough counts, intensity, latency and total effort expended were studied. Guaiphenesin and bromhexine showed significant expectorant effects in patients with productive cough due to chronic bronchopulmonary disease. Differences were observed in speed of action, and objective and subjective measures, that probably indicate differences in drug action. More recently, three studies evaluated the antitussive drug dextromethorphan in non-productive cough due to uncomplicated upper respiratory tract infections. Reproducible cough suppressant effects were demonstrated after a single 30 mg dose using objective measures of cough counts, latency and total effort. These results establish the sensitivity and robustness of the cough quantitation methodology in the objective evaluation of cough treatments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74618,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonary pharmacology","volume":"9 5","pages":"Pages 299-308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1006/pulp.1996.0039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20176898","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}

However there are very few studies which have investigated the antitussive efficacy of codeine using cough associated with upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) and there is little if any evidence to support the antitussive efficacy of codeine in this model. This paper discusses the mechanism of cough in man and describes some clinical investigations on the effects of codeine on cough associated with URTI. The recent clinical investigations do not provide any evidence to support an antitussive action of codeine in the treatment of cough associated with URTI yet there is evidence in the literature which indicates that codeine inhibits fictive cough in animal models and also has antitussive activity against both induced and chronic cough models in man. In order to explain these different effects of codeine on the different models of cough, a hypothesis is put forward that there are two cough pathways in man. A voluntary pathway associated with cough related to URTI which is not affected by codeine, and a reflex pathway associated with induced and chronic cough which is inhibited by codeine</p></div>","PeriodicalId":74618,"journal":{"name":"Pulmonary pharmacology","volume":"9 5","pages":"Pages 293-297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1006/pulp.1996.0038","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20176899","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}

(2) Medullary Bötzinger/rostral ventral respiratory group neurons implicated in generating and shaping the eupnoeic pattern of breathing are also involved in producing the central cough motor pattern. The results were not consistent with a “cough centre” separate from the BÖT/VRG. Observed neurons (in cats) included most of all previously identified respiratory modulated “types”. The results showed that there were alterations in discharge patterns of all respiratory neurons during fictive cough. Many “types” responded as predicted by cough model network simulations.
