1. To examine the relationship between the inspiratory effort sensation (IES) and respiratory drive as reflected by mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1) we have studied loaded and unloaded ventilatory responses to CO2 in 12 normal subjects. 2. The individual coefficient of variation of the effort sensation response to CO2 (IES/PCO2) between replicate studies was 21% and was similar to the variability of the ventilatory response (VE/PCO2) (18%) and the occlusion pressure response (P0.1/PCO2) (22%). 3. IES was well correlated with P0.1 (r greater than 0.9) for both free-breathing and loaded runs. 4. Resistive loading reduced the ventilatory response to hypercapnia from 19.3 l min-1 kPa-1 (SD 7.5) to 12.6 l min-1 kPa-1 (SD 3.9) (P less than 0.01). IES and P0.1 responses increased with resistive loading from 2.28 (SD 0.9) to 3.15 (SD 1.1) units/kPa and 2.8 (SD 1.2) to 3.73 (SD 1.5) cmH2O/kPa, respectively (P less than 0.01). 5. Experimentally induced changes in PCO2 and respiratory impedance were accompanied by increases in IES and P0.1. We found no evidence that CO2 increased IES independently of its effect on respiratory drive.

D014939 Work of Breathing RESPIRATORY MUSCLE contraction during INHALATION. The work is accomplished in three phases: LUNG COMPLIANCE work, that required to expand the LUNGS against its elastic forces; tissue resistance work, that required to overcome the viscosity of the lung and chest wall structures; and AIRWAY RESISTANCE work, that required to overcome airway resistance during the movement of air into the lungs. Work of breathing does not refer to expiration, which is entirely a passive process caused by elastic recoil of the lung and chest cage.
