Steady State Effects of CO2 and Temperature on the Relationship between Lung Volume and Inspiratory Duration (Hering‐Breuer Threshold Curve)

Abstract: The time course of the volume threshold curve for the inspiratory off‐switch, i.e. the relationship between volume, (Vx) and inspiratory duration (Tj) with intact vagus nerves, was determined in steady conditions at different inspired CO2 concentrations and body temperatures in lightly anesthetized cats by means of ‘ramp’‐shaped inflations and deflations of different rise times. With intact vagal feedback the Vx–TT data points could be very well fitted to hyperbolas in all conditions studied. Changes in steady… Show more

“…Slowly adapting pulmonary stretch receptors and vagal afferent fibres from lungs play an important role in the regulation of respiration rate and tidal volume in mammals (19). Under conditions of thermal stress, a contribution of this control varies among species (10,19,(21)(22)(23) as enhanced M A R T I N I A N A 2 0 1 1 S U P P L . Crucial importance of this reflex is to accomplish inspiratory to expiratory switching and to prevent overinflation of the lungs.…”
