OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of square wave, sinusoidal, and linear inspiratory pressure waveforms during pressure-controlled assist/control ventilation on the firing pattern of pulmonary stretch receptors and phrenic nerve activity. METHODS Experimental, comparative study. METHODS Research laboratory at a university biomedical center. METHODS Nine anesthetized, endotracheally intubated young cats (2.5-3.4 kg). METHODS With interposed periods of continuous positive airway pressure (0.2 kPa), each cat was exposed to periods of assist/control ventilation with three different pressure waveforms, where the peak inspiratory pressure (0.74 +/- 0.13 kPa), end-expiratory pressure (0.2 +/- 0.02 kPa), and tidal volume (14.9 +/- 5.22 mL/kg) were kept constant. Preset controlled ventilator rate was set below the rate of spontaneous breathing, and the mechanical inflation time equaled the inspiratory time during spontaneous breathing on continuous positive airway pressure. RESULTS Respiratory rate and arterial blood gases did not change between the three pressure waveforms during assist/control ventilation. Peak pulmonary stretch receptor activity was lower and mean phrenic nerve activity higher during continuous positive airway pressure than during assist/control ventilation (p <.05). Peak inspiratory pulmonary stretch receptor activity was the same with all three pressure waveforms (82 +/- 17 impulses.sec-1) but occurred earlier with square wave than with sinusoidal or linear pressure waveforms (p <.05). The total number of impulses in the phrenic nerve activity burst was smaller with square wave than with the other two pressure waveforms (0.21 +/- 0.17 vs. 0.33 +/- 0.27 and 0.42 +/- 0.30 arbitrary units; p <.05), and the phrenic nerve activity burst duration was shorter with square wave (1.10 +/- 0.45 vs. 1.54 +/- 0.36 and 1.64 +/- 0.25 secs; p <.05). CONCLUSIONS Square wave pressure waveform during pressure-controlled assist/control ventilation strongly inhibits spontaneous inspiratory activity in cats. One mechanism for this inhibition is earlier and sustained peak pulmonary stretch receptor activity during inspiration. These findings show that differences in inspiratory pressure waveforms influence the spontaneous breathing effort during assist/control ventilation in cats.

D011661 Pulmonary Stretch Receptors Stretch receptors found in the bronchi and bronchioles. Pulmonary stretch receptors are sensors for a reflex which stops inspiration. In humans, the reflex is protective and is probably not activated during normal respiration.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
