Diaphragm muscle fiber injury after inspiratory resistive breathing.

Abstract: Five awake previously tracheotomized mongrel dogs were challenged with inspiratory resistive breathing (IRB). The mean peak tracheal pressure = -35.4 +/- 1.1 cmH2O, ETCO2 = 39.8 +/- 1.5 mmHg was sustained for 2 h/d over 4 consecutive d. On the fourth day, following IRB, the dogs were placed under general anaesthesia, and the diaphragm was perfused via the internal mammary artery with a low molecular weight fluorescent tracer (Procion orange, FW = 631), to which normal muscle fibers are impermeable. Muscle fibe… Show more

“…When faced with an elevated mechanical load, increased muscle activation predisposes to diaphragmatic muscle injury [30]. Downregulation of respiratory motoneuronal output has been postulated as a useful adaptive strategy to avoid structural injury in the face of an elevated load [9,13], and such disfacilitation has even been termed "central wisdom".…”

“…Finally, growth may be indirectly affected following increased expression of oxygen-derived free radicals and cytokines as a result of respiratory muscles' strenuous contraction (26,32,38). Muscle strenuous contraction induces protein loss and cachexia (25).…”

“…Ultimately, the most pertinent clinical measures are the power of breathing (WOB per minute) and PTP, which relate to respiratory muscle perfusion/oxygen consumption, and probably signify the potential for oxidative stress, inflammation, and structural damage [71][72][73][74] to the muscles from excessive exertion. Paradoxically, unrestricted spontaneous breathing during severe respiratory failure may promote ventilator-dependence.…”
