Central respiratory drive in patients with neuromuscular diseases.
BACKGROUND The contribution of the central respiratory drive in the hypercapnic respiratory failure of neuromuscular diseases (NMD) is controversial. OBJECTIVE To compare the CO2 response and the duration of weaning of mechanical ventilation between a group of NMD patients and a group of quadriplegic patients due to ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW). METHODS We prospectively studied 16 subject...
متن کاملRespiratory failure in neuromuscular diseases.
A series is reported of five patients with acute respiratory failure complicating neuromuscular diseases, three of whom required assisted ventilation. Initially the arterial carbon dioxide tension fell to levels below the normal range in all the patients and this change reflects alveolar hyperventilation which is probably produced by a combination of fear, small airway collapse, and reflex tach...
متن کاملNeural respiratory drive and neuromuscular coupling during CO2 rebreathing in patients with chronic interstitial lung disease.
In 12 patients with CILD and 18 age-matched normal subjects we assessed the ventilatory control system at three levels: (a) neural, as assessed by EMGd (XP/Ti) and EMGint muscles via surface electrodes; (b) muscular, as assessed by mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1); and (c) ventilatory, as assessed by both ventilation (VE) and the related parameters, tidal volume (VT) and respiratory frequency (f...
متن کاملNeural respiratory drive and neuromuscular coupling in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
In 15 spontaneously breathing patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) divided into two groups, one with normocapnia (A) and one with chronic hypercapnia (B), we evaluated the maximal voluntary inspiratory muscle strength (MIP), the pattern of breathing, the mouth occlusion pressure (Po.1), the neural respiratory drive (NRD), assessed by surface electromyographic (EMG) activit...
متن کاملDepression of central respiratory drive by nitrazepam.
In a group of patients with chronic bronchitis, repeated night sedation with 10 mg nitrazepam produced a fall in central respiratory drive and a steady rise in arterial carbon dioxide tension. The changes produced over a five-day period were not clinically important, except in two patients who were already hypercapnic before receiving nitrazepam. The use of this drug in patients with carbon dio...
