The purpose of this study was to elucidate inspiratory accessory muscle deoxygenation and myoelectric activity during isolated volitional hyperpnoea under hypoxic conditions. Subjects performed voluntary isocapnic hyperpnoea (tidal volume=30-40% of forced vital capacity, breathing frequency=60 breaths/min) in normoxia [inspired gas fraction (FIO₂)=0.21] and hypoxia (FIO₂). Muscle deoxyhemoglobin/myoglobin (Deoxy-Hb/Mb) and muscle oxygen saturation (SMO₂) using near-infrared spectroscopy and surface electromyography were measured from sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and intercostal (IC) muscles. During hyperpnoea, increases in Deoxy-Hb/Mb and reductions of SMO₂ in the SCM and IC muscles were larger (P<0.05) in hypoxia than those in normoxia. Under hypoxic conditions, the electromyogram increases from the SCM and IC muscles during hyperpnoea were greater than that under the normoxic conditions. These results suggest that inspiratory accessory muscle deoxygenation during isolated hyperpnoea is exaggerated in hypoxia compared with normoxia and that hypoxia has a significant impact on inspiratory accessory muscle activation.

Uncovering Diaphragm Cramp in SIDS and Other Sudden Unexpected Deaths.

The diaphragm is the primary muscle of respiration. Here, we disclose a fascinating patient's perspective that led, by clinical reasoning alone, to a novel mechanism of spontaneous respiratory arrests termed diaphragm cramp-contracture (DCC). Although the 7-year-old boy survived its paroxysmal nocturnal "bearhug pain apnea" episodes, essentially by breathing out to breathe in, DCC could cause sudden unexpected deaths in children, especially infants.

Dyspnea is a common symptom in neuromuscular disorders and, although multifactorial, it is usually due to respiratory muscle involvement, associated musculoskeletal changes such as scoliosis or, in certain neuromuscular conditions, cardiomyopathy. Clinical history can elicit symptoms such as orthopnea, trepopnea, sleep disruption, dysphagia, weak cough, and difficulty with secretion clearance. The examination is essential to assist with the diagnosis of an underlying neurologic disorder and determine whether dyspnea is from a cardiac or pulmonary origin.

We tested the hypothesis that the incidence and magnitude of diaphragm fatigue following high-intensity exercise would be lower in females with a high aerobic capacity (Hi-Fit) compared with healthy females with an average aerobic fitness (Avg-Fit). Participants were assigned to groups based on their peak O uptake (V̇o) obtained during cycle exercise: Hi-Fit = 9, V̇o ≥ 56.1 ± 3.

Background: Manual breathing assist technique (MBAT) is a common physical therapy technique used to facilitate airway clearance and improve ventilation and oxygenation. The effects during and immediately after intervention in individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the acute effects and potential mechanisms of MBAT on lung volume, dyspnea, and oxygenation in individuals with COPD.

Background: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been the cornerstone for managing acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) with hypercapnic respiratory failure. Nasal high flow (NHF) oxygen therapy has emerged as a potential alternative, offering a more tolerable modality with promising outcomes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether NHF respiratory support is noninferior to NIV with respect to treatment failure, in patients with mild-to-moderate hypercapnic AECOPD.
