Breathing pattern affects respiratory heat loss but not bronchoconstrictor response in asthma.

Abstract：

:To determine whether changes in breathing pattern alone affect respiratory heat loss (RHL) and the constrictor response to cold dry gas hyperpnea in asthmatic subjects, we performed the following 2 part study: first we measured RHL in 8 asthmatic and 8 normal subjects during controlled eucapnic hyperpnea while they breathed at inspiratory to expiratory ratios (I/E) of 1:3, 3:1, and 2:2, and we recorded postchallenge forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) in the asthmatic group; we then performed the same measurements in 8 asthmatic and 8 normal subjects at fixed target minute ventilation (VE) for tidal volumes of 0.2 X Forced vital capacity (FVC), 0.4 X FVC, and 0.6 X FVC by varying the target respiratory rate appropriately. Our results show that (1) increasing I/E ratio or tidal volume-frequency ratio (VT/f) at fixed VE produced small but statistically significant increases (p less than 0.05) in overall heat loss per unit volume of respired gas (RHL/VE) in both asthmatic and nonasthmatic subjects of 1-4 cal/L; (2) changes in breathing pattern alone did not affect bronchoconstrictor response as assessed by lack of change in slopes and intercepts of % delta FEV1 vs. RHL dose-response curves; and (3) the increase in RHL per unit volume of respired gas resulting from increasing VT/f ratios during cold gas hyperpnea was significantly greater in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic subjects. We conclude that changes in breathing pattern may affect overall RHL measured at the mouth, although the maximum effect of such changes in both asthmatic and nonasthmatic subjects is small (10-15%); that such changes do not significantly alter airway constrictor response in asthmatic persons; and (3) that the effects of changing breathing pattern on RHL may be more pronounced in asthmatic than nonasthmatic subjects, which suggests that the asthmatic group may be less able to adapt to factors that alter the magnitude and site of RHL.
