Kral TRA, Weng HY, Mitra V, Imhoff-Smith TP, Azemi E, Goldman RI, Rosenkranz MA, Wu S, Chen A, Davidson RJ. Slower respiration rate is associated with higher self-reported well-being after wellness training. Sci Rep 2023; 13:15953. [PMID: 37743388 PMCID: PMC10518325 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-43176-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Mind-body interventions such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) may improve well-being by increasing awareness and regulation of physiological and cognitive states. However, it is unclear how practice may alter long-term, baseline physiological processes, and whether these changes reflect improved well-being. Using respiration rate (RR), which can be sensitive to effects of meditation, and 3 aspects of self-reported well-being (psychological well-being [PWB], distress, and medical symptoms), we tested pre-registered hypotheses that: (1) Lower baseline RR (in a resting, non-meditative state) would be a physiological marker associated with well-being, (2) MBSR would decrease RR, and (3) Training-related decreases in RR would be associated with improved well-being. We recruited 245 adults (age range = 18-65, M = 42.4): experienced meditators (n = 42), and meditation-naïve participants randomized to MBSR (n = 72), active control (n = 41), or waitlist control (n = 66). Data were collected at pre-randomization, post-intervention (or waiting), and long-term follow-up. Lower baseline RR was associated with lower psychological distress among long-term meditators (p* = 0.03, b = 0.02, 95% CI [0.01, 0.03]), though not in non-meditators prior to training. MBSR decreased RR compared to waitlist (p = 0.02, Cohen's d = - 0.41, 95% CI [- 0.78, - 0.06]), but not the active control. Decreased RR related to decreased medical symptoms, across all participants (p* = 0.02, b = 0.57, 95% CI [0.15, 0.98]). Post-training, lower RR was associated with higher PWB across training groups compared to waitlist (p* = 0.01, b = 0.06, 95% CI [0.02, 0.10]), though there were no significant differences in change in PWB between groups. This physiological marker may indicate higher physical and/or psychological well-being in those who engage in wellness practices.

Abstract
In this study, a noncontact fabric loop sensor based on magnetic-field-induced conductivity, which can simultaneously detect cardiac activity and respiration signals, was developed and the effects of the sensor's shape and measurement position on the sensing performance were analyzed. Fifteen male subjects in their twenties wore sleeveless shirts equipped with various types of fabric loop sensors (spiky, extrusion, and spiral), and the cardiac activity and respiratory signals were measured twice at positions P2, P4, and P6. The measurements were verified by comparing them against the reference electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiratory signals measured using BIOPAC® (MP150, ECG100B, RSP100C). The waveforms of the raw signal measured by the fabric loop sensor were filtered with a bandpass filter (1-20 Hz) and qualitatively compared with the ECG signal obtained from the Ag/AgCI electrode. Notwithstanding a slight difference in performance, the three fabric sensors could simultaneously detect cardiac activity and respiration signals at all measurement positions. In addition, it was verified through statistical analysis that the highest-quality signal was obtained at the measurement position of P4 or P6 using the spiral loop sensor.

Abstract
Breathing plays a vital role in everyday life, and specifically during exercise it provides working muscles with the oxygen necessary for optimal performance. Respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) monitors breathing through elastic belts around the chest and abdomen, with efficient breathing defined by synchronous chest and abdomen movement. This study examined if providing runners with visual feedback through RIP could increase breathing efficiency and thereby time to exhaustion. Thirteen recreational runners (8F, 5M) ran to exhaustion on an inclined treadmill on two days, with visual feedback provided on one randomly chosen day. Phase angle was calculated as a measure of thoraco-abdominal coordination. Time to exhaustion was not significantly increased when visual feedback was provided (p = 1). Phase angle was not significantly predicted by visual feedback (p = 0.667). Six participants improved phase angle when visual feedback was provided, four of whom increased time to exhaustion. Four participants improved phase angle by 9° or more, three of whom increased time to exhaustion. Participants who improved phase angle with visual feedback highlight that improving phase angle could increase time to exhaustion. Greater familiarization with breathing techniques and visual feedback and a different paradigm to induce running fatigue are needed to support future studies of breathing in runners.

Measurement of chest wall motion using a motion capture system with the one-pitch phase analysis method. Sci Rep 2021; 11:21497.

Abstract
Spirometry is a standard method for assessing lung function. However, its use is challenging in some patients, and it has limitations such as risk of infection and inability to assess regional chest wall motion. A three-dimensional motion capture system using the one-pitch phase analysis (MCO) method can facilitate high precision measurement of moving objects in real-time in a non-contacting manner. In this study, the MCO method was applied to examine thoraco-abdominal (TA) wall motion for assessing pulmonary function. We recruited 48 male participants, and all underwent spirometry and chest wall motion measurement with the MCO method. A significant positive correlation was observed between the vital capacity (Spearman’s ρ = 0.68, p < 0.0001), forced vital capacity (Spearman’s ρ = 0.62, p < 0.0001), and tidal volume (Spearman’s ρ = 0.61, p < 0.0001) of spirometry and the counterpart parameters of MCO method. Moreover, the MCO method could detect regional rib cage and abdomen compartment contributions and could assess TA asynchrony, indicating almost complete synchronous movement (phase angle for each compartment: − 5.05° to 3.86°). These findings suggest that this technique could examine chest wall motion, and may be effective in analyzing chest wall volume changes and pulmonary function.

Abstract
Telemonitoring becomes more important in pulmonary research. It can be used to decrease the pressure on the health care system, to lower the costs of health care and to increase quality of life of patients. Previous studies show contradictory results regarding the effectiveness of telemonitoring. According to multiple researchers, inefficiency can be a result of poor study design, low data quality and usability issues. To counteract these issues, this review proves for an in-depth explanation of four (potential) telemonitoring systems in terms of work principle, accuracy, disturbing factors and usability. The evaluated systems are portable spirometry/breath-by-breath analyzers, respiratory inductance and magnetic plethysmography and electrical impedance tomography. These insights can be used to select the optimal technique for a specific purpose in future studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Sleep Apnea Syndrome (SAS) is a multimorbid chronic disease with individual and societal deleterious consequences. Polysomnography (PSG) is the multi-parametric reference diagnostic tool that allows a manual quantification of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) to assess SAS severity. The burden of SAS is affecting nearly one billion people worldwide explaining that SAS remains largely under-diagnosed and undertreated. The development of an easy to use and automatic solution for early detection and screening of SAS is highly desirable. METHODS We proposed an Accelerometry-Derived Respiratory index (ADR) solution based on a dual accelerometry system for airflow estimation included in a machine learning process. It calculated the AHI thanks to a RUSBoosted Tree model and used physiological and explanatory specifically developed features. The performances of this method were evaluated against a configuration using gold-standard PSG signals on a database of 28 subjects. RESULTS The AHI estimation accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of the ADR index were 89%, 100% and 80% respectively. The added value of the specifically developed features was also demonstrated. CONCLUSION Overnight physiological monitoring with the proposed ADR solution using a machine learning approach provided a clinically relevant estimate of AHI for SAS screening. The physiological component of the solution has a real interest for improving performance and facilitating physician's adhesion to an automatic AHI estimation.

Novel Real-Time OEP Phase Angle Feedback System for Dysfunctional Breathing Pattern Training-An Acute Intervention Study. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21113714.

Abstract
Dysfunctional breathing patterns (DBP) can have an impact on an individual’s quality of life and/or exercise performance. Breathing retraining is considered to be the first line of treatment to correct breathing pattern, for example, reducing ribcage versus abdominal movement asynchrony. Optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP) is a non-invasive 3D motion capture technique that measures the movement of the chest wall. The purpose of this study was to investigate if the use of a newly developed real-time OEP phase angle and volume feedback system, as an acute breathing retraining intervention, could result in a greater reduction of phase angle values (i.e., an improvement in movement synchrony) when compared to real-time OEP volume feedback alone. Eighteen individuals with a DBP performed an incremental cycle test with OEP measuring chest wall movement. Participants were randomly assigned to either the control group, which included the volume-based OEP feedback or to the experimental group, which included both the volume-based and phase angle OEP feedback. Participants then repeated the same cycle test using the real-time OEP feedback. The phase angle between the ribcage versus abdomen (RcAbPhase), between the pulmonary ribcage and the combined abdominal ribcage and abdomen (RCpAbPhase), and between the abdomen and the shoulders (AbSPhase) were calculated during both cycle tests. Significant increases in RcAbPhase (pre: −2.89°, post: −1.39°, p < 0.01), RCpAbPhase (pre: −2.00°, post: −0.50°, p < 0.01), and AbSPhase (pre: −2.60°, post: −0.72°, p < 0.01) were found post-intervention in the experimental group. This indicates that the experimental group demonstrated improved synchrony in their breathing pattern and therefore, reverting towards a healthy breathing pattern. This study shows for the first time that dysfunctional breathing patterns can be acutely improved with real-time OEP phase angle feedback and provides interesting insight into the feasibility of using this novel feedback system for breathing pattern retraining in individuals with DBP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate Hexoskin performance on a stationary bike against "gold standard" laboratory equipment and develop adjustment models for future use in field settings. METHODS Compared respiratory rate (RR), tidal volume (VT), minute ventilation (VE), and heart rate (HR) measured by the Hexoskin shirt to simultaneous spirometry and full 12-lead electrocardiogram during a laboratory based incremental exercise test on a stationary bicycle. RESULTS Data from 17 participants demonstrated Hexoskin VT and VE had the best agreement in the submaximal exercise level (discrepancies less than or equal to 5.3%) with larger discrepancies observed at rest (less than or equal to 15.3%) and at maximal exercise level (less than or equal to 11.7%). The discrepancies for HR and RR were lower at all levels (less than 10%). Adjusting for sex and body weight allowed for a single VE algorithm across the entire range of effort (r = 0.89). CONCLUSION These discrepancies are acceptable for field use in comparison to the ranges typical of bicycle commuting.

Abstract
Demand of portable health monitoring has been growing due to increasing cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. While both cardiovascular monitoring and respiratory monitoring have been developed independently, there lacks a simple integrated solution to monitor both simultaneously. Seismocardiography (SCG), a method of recording cardiac vibrations with an accelerometer can also be used to extract respiratory information via low frequency chest oscillations. This study used an inertial measurement unit which pairs a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope to monitor respiration while maintaining optimum placement protocol for recording SCG. Additionally, the connection between inertial measurement and both respiratory rate and volume were explored based on their correlation with a Spirometer. Respiratory volume was shown to have moderate correlation with chest motion with an average best-case correlation coefficient of 0.679 across acceleration and gyration. The techniques described will assist the design of future SCG algorithms by understanding the sources behind their modulation from respiration. This paper shows that a simplified processing technique can be added to SCG algorithms for respiration monitoring.

Abstract
Worldwide,an estimated 461 000 people die from asthma attacks each year. While there remain treatments to alleviate asthma symptoms and reduce deaths, patient deterioration needs to be identified in sufficient time. To prevent asthma deterioration, patients need to be aware of personal and environmental triggers and monitor their asthma symptoms. The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of the current state-of-the-art wearable sensors and devices that use vital signs for asthma patient monitoring and management. Among all vital signs, breathing rate and airflow sound are key indicators of asthmatic patients' health that can be measured directly using wearable sensors to provide continuous and constant patient monitoring or indirectly by estimations based on proven algorithms using electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), and chest movements. ECG and PPG signals are widely used in smart watches and chest bands, enabling easy integration of a more extensive body sensor framework for asthmatic exacerbation prediction. Other vital signs used in asthma patient monitoring include blood oxygen saturation, temperature, blood pressure, verbal sound, and pain responses. The use of wearable vital signs enabled a broad range of wearable sensor application scenarios for asthma monitoring and management.

Abstract
In this paper, we used ECG signals and repiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) or respiratory bands. We evaluated the performance of the signals individually as well as different combinations of features and signals for sleep apnoea detection. We implemented two methods (QRS area, and fast principal component analysis (PCA) methods) for estimating the ECG derived respiratory (EDR) signal and the cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) spectrum. We then extracted features from the time and frequency representations of the ECG and RIP signals. Finally, we applied different features sets to a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) for classification. The results were examined on the MIT PhysioNet Apnea-ECG database. Apnoea classification was carried out using leave-one-record-out crossvalidation approach. The highest performance of our algorithm was achieved using the RIP and RR-interval features as well as using the RIP and PCA CPC features with an accuracy of 90% and AUC of 0.97. The highest performance results of using only RIP or ECG features achieved an accuracy of 87% and AUC of 0.95. We conclude that although ECG sensors are more convenient for patients in sleep studies, using both RIP and ECG sensors enhances the performance results for automated diagnosis of sleep apnoea.

Abstract
PURPOSE Respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) is recommended as an alternative respiratory sensor for the identification of each apnea and hypopnea event in polysomnography. Using this sensor, the cumulative RIP results from the chest and abdomen (RIP sum) and time-derived results of the RIP sum (RIP flow) are calculated to track respiratory flow. However, the effectiveness of this sensor and the calculated respiratory results is still unclear, and validation studies for the scoring of respiratory events in polysomnography are rare. METHODS Two hundred subjects were selected according to the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. A sleep specialist re-evaluated the respiratory events based on RIP flow data in a single-blind study. Statistical analysis was conducted with paired respiratory events scored in each of the RIP flow and polysomnography datasets. RESULTS All respiratory events scored from the RIP flow were strongly correlated with those identified with standard sensors of polysomnography, regardless of disease severity. Most of the respiratory parameters from RIP flow trended toward underestimation. The RIP flow obtained from the alternative RIP sensor was appropriate for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea based on a receiver operating characteristic curve. CONCLUSIONS Scored respiratory events from RIP flow data effectively reflected the respiratory flow and statistically correlated with the results from standard polysomnography sensors. Therefore, analyzing RIP flow utilizing an RIP sensor is considered a reliable method for respiratory event scoring.

[PMID: 31589990 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.116234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2019] [Revised: 09/04/2019] [Accepted: 09/27/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Breathing rate and depth influence the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood, altering cerebral blood flow and thus functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals. Such respiratory fluctuations can have substantial influence in studies of fMRI signal covariance in subjects at rest, the so-called "resting state functional connectivity" technique. If respiration is monitored during fMRI scanning, it is typically done using a belt about the subject's abdomen to record abdominal circumference. Several measures have been derived from these belt records, including the windowed envelope of the waveform (ENV), the windowed variance in the waveform (respiration variation, RV), and a measure of the amplitude of each breath divided by the cycle time of the breath (respiration volume per time, RVT). Any attempt to gauge respiratory contributions to fMRI signals requires a respiratory measure, but little is known about how these measures compare to each other, or how they perform beyond the small studies in which they were initially proposed. Here, we examine the properties of these measures in hundreds of healthy young adults scanned for an hour each at rest, a subset of the Human Connectome Project chosen for having high-quality physiological records. We find: 1) ENV, RV, and RVT are all correlated, and ENV and RV are more highly correlated to each other than to RVT; 2) respiratory events like deep breaths exhibit characteristic heart rate elevations, fMRI signal changes, head motions, and image quality abnormalities time-locked to large deflections in the belt traces; 3) all measures can "miss" deep breaths; 4) RVT "misses" deep breaths more than ENV or RV; 5) all respiratory measures change systematically over the course of a 14.4-min scan. We discuss the implications of these findings for the literature and ways to move forward in modeling respiratory influences on fMRI scans.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) esophageal pressure (Pes) is the gold standard for measurement of respiratory effort, and respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) is considered an accepted measurement technique. However, the use of RIP could lead to limited accuracy in certain cases and therefore suprasternal pressure (SSP) monitoring might improve the reliability of OSA diagnosis. We aimed to use SSP for the visual characterization of respiratory events in adults and compared results to those obtained by RIP from polysomnography (PSG). METHODS In patients with OSA, a 1-night SSP recording using the PneaVoX sensor (Cidelec, Sainte-Gemmes-sur-Loire, France) was done. In parallel, PSG was performed according to American Academy of Sleep Medicine criteria. A subgroup of patients agreed to have Pes measurement in addition. Characterizations of apneas as obstructive, central, and mixed as well as hypopneas as central and obstructive were done by visual evaluation of SSP, RIP, and Pes in random order by two independent scores (S1 and S2). The sensitivity and specificity of characterization by SSP compared to RIP and to Pes were calculated. RESULTS Synchronous recordings of SSP and PSG were analyzed from n = 34 patients with OSA (AHI 34.1 ± 24.2 events/h); 9 of them had synchronized Pes monitoring as well. Interscorer agreement for apnea characterization as obstructive, central, and mixed based on SSP, RIP, and Pes were found, with R2 values from 0.91-0.99. The sensitivity of SSP in apnea characterization with reference to RIP (S1/S2) was 91.5%/92.3% for obstructive, 82.7%/76.2% for central, and 87.4%/79.9% for mixed. The sensitivity of SSP in apnea characterization with reference to Pes was (S1/S2) 93.1%/92.1% for obstructive, 80.8%/81.6% for central, and 91.7%/90.8% for mixed. Hypopnea was only classified for the nine patients with Pes. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated a good agreement in the detection of respiratory effort with the SSP signal using the PneaVoX sensor compared to the RIP belts signals as well as to the Pes signal. These findings were consistently found by two independent scorers. In summary, results suggest that SSP is a reliable signal for the classification of respiratory events and could be used as an additional tool for OSA characterization in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Thoracoabdominal asynchrony is the nonparallel motion of the ribcage and abdomen. It is estimated by using respiratory inductive plethysmography and, recently, using optoelectronic plethysmography; however the agreement of measurements between these 2 techniques is unknown. Therefore, the present study compared respiratory inductive plethysmography with optoelectronic plethysmography for measuring thoracoabdominal asynchrony to see if the measurements were similar or different. Methods 27 individuals (9 healthy subjects, 9 patients with interstitial lung disease, and 9 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease performed 2 cycle ergometer tests with respiratory inductive plethysmography or optoelectronic plethysmography in a random order. Thoracoabdominal asynchrony was evaluated at rest, and at 50% and 75% of maximal workload between the superior ribcage and abdomen using a phase angle. Results Thoracoabdominal asynchrony values were very similar in both approaches not only at rest but also with exercise, with no statistical difference. There was a good correlation between the methods and the Phase angle values were within the limits of agreement in the Bland-Altman analysis. Conclusion Thoracoabdominal asynchrony measured by optoelectronic plethysmography and respiratory inductive plethysmography results in similar values and has a satisfactory agreement at rest and even for different exercise intensities in these groups.

Abstract
Current approaches to assess interoception of respiratory functions cannot differentiate between the physiological basis of interoception, i.e. visceral-afferent signal processing, and the psychological process of attention focusing. Furthermore, they typically involve invasive procedures, e.g. induction of respiratory occlusions or the inhalation of CO2-enriched air. The aim of this study was to test the capacity of startle methodology to reflect respiratory-related afferent signal processing, independent of invasive procedures. Forty-two healthy participants were tested in a spontaneous breathing and in a 0.25 Hz paced breathing condition. Acoustic startle noises of 105 dB(A) intensity (50 ms white noise) were presented with identical trial frequency at peak and on-going inspiration and expiration, based on a new pattern detection method, involving the online processing of the respiratory belt signal. The results show the highest startle magnitudes during on-going expiration compared with any other measurement points during the respiratory cycle, independent of whether breathing was spontaneous or paced. Afferent signals from slow adapting phasic pulmonary stretch receptors may be responsible for this effect. This study is the first to demonstrate startle modulation by respiration. These results offer the potential to apply startle methodology in the non-invasive testing of interoception-related aspects in respiratory psychophysiology.This article is part of the themed issue 'Interoception beyond homeostasis: affect, cognition and mental health'.

Abstract
Singing involves distinct respiratory kinematics (i.e. movements of rib cage and abdomen) to quiet breathing because of different demands on the respiratory system. Professional classical singers often advocate for the advantages of an active control of the abdomen on singing performance. This is presumed to prevent shortening of the diaphragm, elevate the rib cage, and thus promote efficient generation of subglottal pressure during phonation. However, few studies have investigated these patterns quantitatively and inter-subject variability has hindered the identification of stereotypical patterns of respiratory kinematics. Here, seven professional classical singers and four untrained individuals were assessed during quiet breathing, and when singing both a standard song and a piece of choice. Several parameters were extracted from respiratory kinematics and airflow, and principal component analysis was used to identify typical patterns of respiratory kinematics. No group differences were observed during quiet breathing. During singing, both groups adapted to rhythmical constraints with decreased time of inspiration and increased peak airflow. In contrast to untrained individuals, classical singers used greater percentage of abdominal contribution to lung volume during singing and greater asynchrony between movements of rib cage and abdomen. Classical singers substantially altered the coordination of rib cage and abdomen during singing from that used for quiet breathing. Despite variations between participants, principal component analysis revealed consistent pre-phonatory inward movements of the abdominal wall during singing. This contrasted with untrained individuals, who demonstrated synchronous respiratory movements during all tasks. The inward abdominal movements observed in classical singers elevates intra-abdominal pressure and may increase the length and the pressure-generating capacity of rib cage expiratory muscles for potential improvements in voice quality.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to measure bilateral asynchrony in patients suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) performing an incremental inspiratory load protocol. Bilateral asynchrony was estimated by the comparison of respiratory movements derived from diaphragm mechanomyographic (MMGdi) signals, acquired by means of capacitive accelerometers placed on left and right sides of the rib cage. Three methods were considered for asynchrony evaluation: Lissajous figure, Hilbert transform and Motto's algorithm. Bilateral asynchrony showed an increase at 20, 40 and 60% (values of normalized inspiratory pressure by their maximum value reached in the last inspiratory load) while the very severe group showed an increase at 20, 40, 80, and 100 % during the protocol. These increments in the phase's shift can be due to an increase of the inspiratory load along the protocol, and also as a consequence of distress and fatigue. In summary, this work evidenced the capability to estimate bilateral asynchrony in COPD patients. These preliminary results also showed that the use of capacitive accelerometers can be a suitable sensor for recording of respiratory movement and evaluation of asynchrony in COPD patients.

Abstract
Electrode configuration is an important issue in the continuous measurement of respiration using impedance pneumography (IP). The robust configuration is usually confirmed by comparing the amplitude of the IP signals acquired with different electrode configurations, while the relative change in waveform and the effects of body posture and respiratory pattern are ignored. In this study, the IP signals and respiratory volume are simultaneously acquired from 8 healthy subjects in supine, left lying, right lying and prone postures, and the subjects are asked to perform four respiratory patterns including free breathing, thoracic breathing, abdominal breathing and apnea. The IP signals are acquired with four different chest electrode configurations, and the volume are measured using pneumotachograph (PNT). Differences in correlation and absolute deviation between the IP-derived and PNT-derived respiratory volume are assessed. The influences of noise, respiratory pattern and body posture on the IP signals of different configurations have significant difference (p < 0.05). The robust electrode configuration is found on the axillary midline, which is suitable for long term respiration monitoring.

Abstract
Respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) is a non-invasive method of measuring change in lung volume which is well-established as a monitor of tidal ventilation and thus respiratory patterns in sleep medicine. As RIP is leak independent, can measure end-expiratory lung volume as well as tidal volume and is applicable to both the ventilated and spontaneously breathing patient, there has been a recent interest in its use as a bedside tool in the intensive care unit.

Abstract
Spirometry is regarded as the only effective method for detecting pulmonary function test (PFT) indices. In this study, a novel impedance pulmonary function measurement system (IPFS) is developed for directly assessing PFT indices. IPFS can obtain high resolution values and remove motion artifacts through real-time base impedance feedback. Feedback enables the detection of PFT indices using only both hands for convenience. IPFS showed no differences in the sitting, supine, and standing postures during the measurements, indicating that patient posture has no effect on IPFS. Mean distance analysis showed good agreement between the volume and flow signal of IPFS (p < 0.05). PFT indices were detected in subjects to differentiate a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient group from a normal group. The forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, and peak expiratory flow (PEF) in the COPD group were lower than those in the normal group by IPFS (p < 0.05). IPFS is therefore suitable for evaluating pulmonary function in normal and COPD patients. Moreover, IPFS could be useful for periodic monitoring of existing patients diagnosed with obstructive lung disease.

Abstract
Background Respiratory effort belt measurement is a widely used method to monitor respiration. Signal waveforms of respiratory volume and flow may indicate pathological signs of several diseases and, thus, it would be highly desirable to predict them accurately. Calibrated effort belts are sufficiently accurate for estimating respiratory rate, but the respiratory volume and flow prediction accuracies degrade considerably with changes in the subject’s body position and breathing style. Methods An improved calibration method of respiratory effort belts is presented in this paper. It is based on an optimally trained FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter bank constructed as a MISO system (Multiple-Input Single-Output) between respiratory effort belt signals and the spirometer in order to reduce waveform errors. Ten healthy adult volunteers were recruited. Breathing was varied between the following styles: metronome-guided controlled breathing rate of 0.1 Hz, 0.15 Hz, 0.25 Hz and 0.33 Hz, and a free rate that was felt normal by each subject. Body position was varied between supine, sitting and standing. The proposed calibration method was tested against these variations and compared with the state-of-the-art methods from the literature. Results Relative waveform error decreased 60-70% when predicting airflow under changing breathing styles. The coefficient of determination R2 varied between 0.88-0.95 and 0.65-0.79 with the proposed and the standard method, respectively. Standard deviation of respiratory volume error decreased even 80%. The proposed method outperformed other methods. Conclusions Results show that not only the respiratory volume can be computed more precisely from the predicted airflow, but also the flow waveforms are very accurate with the proposed method. The method is robust to breathing style changes and body position changes improving greatly the accuracy of the calibration of respiratory effort belts over the standard method. The enhanced accuracy of the belt calibration offers interesting opportunities, e.g. in pulmonary and critical care medicine when objective measurements are required.

Abstract
In this paper, we present an RIP module with the features of supporting multiple inductive sensors, no variable frequency LC oscillator, low power consumption, and automatic gain adjustment for each channel. Based on the method of inductance measurement without using a variable frequency LC oscillator, we further integrate pulse amplitude modulation and time division multiplexing scheme into a module to support multiple RIP sensors. All inductive sensors are excited by a high-frequency electric current periodically and momentarily, and the inductance of each sensor is measured during the time when the electric current is fed to it. To improve the amplitude response of the RIP sensors, we optimize the sensing unit with a matching capacitor parallel with each RIP sensor forming a frequency selection filter. Performance tests on the linearity of the output with cross-sectional area and the accuracy of respiratory volume estimation demonstrate good linearity and accurate lung volume estimation. Power consumption of this new RIP module with two sensors is very low. The performance of respiration measurement during movement is also evaluated. This RIP module is especially desirable for wearable systems with multiple RIP sensors for long-term respiration monitoring.

Cleary DR, Phillips RS, Wallisch M, Heinricher MM. A novel, non-invasive method of respiratory monitoring for use with stereotactic procedures. J Neurosci Methods 2012; 209:337-43. [PMID: 22771713 DOI: 10.1016/j.jneumeth.2012.06.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2012] [Revised: 06/19/2012] [Accepted: 06/20/2012] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Accurate monitoring of respiration is often needed for neurophysiological studies, as either a dependent experimental variable or an indicator of physiological state. Current options for respiratory monitoring of animals held in a stereotaxic frame include EMG recordings, pneumotachograph measurements, inductance-plethysmography, whole-body plethysmography (WBP), and visual monitoring. While powerful, many of these methods prevent access to the animal's body, interfere with experimental manipulations, or require deep anesthesia and additional surgery. For experiments where these issues may be problematic, we developed a non-invasive method of recording respiratory parameters specifically for use with animals held in a stereotaxic frame. This system, ventilation pressure transduction (VPT), measures variations in pressure at the animal's nostril from inward and outward airflow during breathing. These pressure changes are detected by a sensitive pressure transducer, then filtered and amplified. The output is an analog signal representing each breath. VPT was validated against WBP using 10% carbon dioxide and systemic morphine (4mg/kg) challenges in lightly anesthetized animals. VPT accurately represented breathing rate and tidal volume changes under both baseline and challenge conditions. This novel technique can therefore be used to measure respiratory rate and relative tidal volume when stereotaxic procedures are needed for neuronal manipulations and recording.

Abstract
Decreased heart rate variability (HRV) was shown for unmedicated patients with schizophrenia and their first-degree relatives, implying genetic associations. This is known to be an important risk factor for increased cardiac mortality in other diseases. The interaction of cardio-respiratory function and respiratory physiology has never been investigated in the disease although it might be closely related to the pattern of autonomic dysfunction. We hypothesized that increased breathing rates and reduced cardio-respiratory coupling in patients with acute schizophrenia would be associated with low vagal function. We assessed variability of breathing rates and depth, HRV and cardio-respiratory coupling in patients, their first-degree relatives and controls at rest. Control subjects were investigated a second time by means of a stress task to identify stress-related changes of cardio-respiratory function. A total of 73 subjects were investigated, consisting of 23 unmedicated patients, 20 healthy, first-degree relatives and 30 control subjects matched for age, gender, smoking and physical fitness. The LifeShirt®, a multi-function ambulatory device, was used for data recording (30 minutes). Patients breathe significantly faster (p<.001) and shallower (p<.001) than controls most pronouncedly during exhalation. Patients' breathing is characterized by a significantly increased amount of middle- (p<.001), high- (p<.001), and very high frequency fluctuations (p<.001). These measures correlated positively with positive symptoms as assessed by the PANSS scale (e.g., middle frequency: r = 521; p<.01). Cardio-respiratory coupling was reduced in patients only, while HRV was decreased in patients and healthy relatives in comparison to controls. Respiratory alterations might reflect arousal in acutely ill patients, which is supported by comparable physiological changes in healthy subjects during stress. Future research needs to further investigate these findings with respect to their physiological consequences for patients. These results are invaluable for researchers studying changes of biological signals prone to the influence of breathing rate and rhythm (e.g., functional imaging).

Abstract
Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is known to be attenuated by inspiration and all the original BRS methodologies took this into account by measuring only in expiration. Spontaneous sequence analysis (SSA) is a non-invasive clinical tool widely used to estimate BRS in Man but does not take breathing into account. We have therefore modified it to test whether it too can detect inspiratory attenuation. Traditional SSA is also entangled with issues of distinguishing causal from random relationships between blood pressure and heart period and of the optimum choice of data filter settings. We have also tested whether the sequences our modified SSA rejects do behave as random relationships and show the limitations of the absence of filter standardization. SSA was performed on eupneic data from 1 h periods in 20 healthy subjects. Applying SSA traditionally produced a mean BRS of 23 ± 3 ms mmHg(-1). After modification to measure breathing, SSA detected significant inspiratory attenuation (11 ± 1 ms mmHg(-1)), and the mean expiratory BRS was significantly higher (26 ± 5 ms mmHg(-1)). Traditional SSA therefore underestimates BRS by an amount (3 ms mmHg(-1)) as big as the major physiological and clinical factors known to alter BRS. We show that the sequences rejected by SSA do behave like random associations between pressure and period. We also show the minimal effect of the r(2) filter and the biases that some pressure and heart period filters can introduce. We discuss whether SSA might be improved by standardization of filter settings and by also measuring breathing.

Abstract
To study the interaction of forces that produce chest wall motion, we propose a model based on the lever system of Hillman and Finucane (J Appl Physiol 63(3):951-961, 1987) and introduce some dynamic properties of the respiratory system. The passive elements (rib cage and abdomen) are considered as elastic compartments linked to the open air via a resistive tube, an image of airways. The respiratory muscles (active) force is applied to both compartments. Parameters of the model are identified in using experimental data of airflow signal measured by pneumotachography and rib cage and abdomen signals measured by respiratory inductive plethysmography on eleven healthy volunteers in five conditions: at rest and with four level of added loads. A breath by breath analysis showed, whatever the individual and the condition are, that there are several breaths on which the airflow simulated by our model is well fitted to the airflow measured by pneumotachography as estimated by a determination coefficient R(2) > or = 0.70. This very simple model may well represent the behaviour of the chest wall and thus may be useful to interpret the relative motion of rib cage and abdomen during quiet breathing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Telemetric measurement of intra-pleural pressure in conscious animals that are restrained in head-out plethysmography chambers enables determination of airway resistance. Originally proposed over 10 years ago, pharmacological validation of this technique is limited. Here airway resistance in conscious, instrumented rats was compared to measurement in anaesthetised rats via a fluid filled oesophageal catheter following administration of two different pharmacological agents. METHODS Male rats were implanted with telemetry devices and were trained to accept the restraint of head-out plethysmography chambers. A separate group of male rats were anaesthetised, placed in a body-enclosed plethysmography chamber and were prepared with a tracheal, oesphageal and jugular vein cannulae. Methacholine or NECA were given intravenously and changes in ventilation and airway resistance were measured. RESULTS The pressure signal obtained in the telemetered rats was found to be extremely variable. Variability was confounded by excessive struggling, particularly during the infusion periods. Misplacement of the pressure sensitive catheter tip and prior habituation to the chamber were not factors in signal variability. Consequently, no dose-response relationship to either pharmacological agent was established in this model. Dose-dependent increases in resistance to both methacholine and NECA were measured in anaesthetised rats using body-enclosed plethysmography. DISCUSSION Given the variability of the pressure signal within and between rats, the feasibility of a model in conscious rats for the measurement of airway resistance is questioned. Improved restraint methods or alternative models in conscious animals should therefore be explored. In the meantime, assessment of airway resistance is best confined to the anaesthetised rat.

Abstract
We evaluated the accuracy of a wearable sensor vest for real-time monitoring of physiological responses to treadmill exercise. Ten subjects in standard firefighter ensembles, treadmill exercising at 50% VO(2) max, had heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), skin temperature (T(sk)), oxygen saturation (SaO(2)), tidal volume (V(T)), and minute ventilation (V(E)) recorded concurrently by a wearable plethysmographic sensor vest and standard laboratory physiological monitoring equipment for comparison. A high degree of correlation was noted for most of the measured variables [HR (r = 0.99), RR (r = 0.98), T(sk) (r = 0.98), V(E) (r = 0.88), and SaO(2) (r = 0.79)]. V(T) (r = 0.60) had a moderate correlation, although a paired differences analysis showed a mean paired difference of -0.03 L. This mean paired difference represents a 1.92% variation for V(T). Data from the wearable sensor vest is comparable to data captured from standard laboratory physiological monitoring equipment on subjects wearing standard firefighter ensembles while exercising at a moderate work rate. This study demonstrates the accuracy of the wearable sensor technology for these physiological parameters under these conditions and suggests that it could be useful for actual field studies of firefighters in traditional firefighting gear.

Abstract
The LifeShirt is a novel ambulatory monitoring system that records cardiorespiratory measurements outside the laboratory. Validity and reliability of cardiorespiratory measurements recorded by the LifeShirt were assessed and two methods of calibrating the LifeShirt were compared. Participants performed an incremental treadmill test and a constant work rate test (65% peak oxygen uptake) on four occasions (>48 h apart) and wore the LifeShirt, COSMED system and Polar Sport Tester simultaneously. The LifeShirt was calibrated using two methods: comparison to a spirometer; and 800 ml fixed-volume bag. Ventilation, respiratory rate, expiratory time and heart rate recorded by the LifeShirt were compared to measurements recorded by laboratory equipment. Sixteen adults participated (6M:10 F); mean (SD) age 23.1 (2.9) years. Agreement between the LifeShirt and laboratory equipment was acceptable. Agreement for ventilation was improved by calibrating the LifeShirt using a spirometer. Reliability was similar for the LifeShirt and the laboratory equipment. This study suggests that the LifeShirt provides a valid and reliable method of ambulatory monitoring.

Abstract
Respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) is a method for respiratory measurements particularly attractive in infants because it is noninvasive and it does not interfere with the airway. RIP calibration remains controversial in neonates, and is particularly difficult in infants with thoraco-abdominal asynchrony or with ventilatory assist. The objective of this study was to evaluate a new RIP calibration method in preterm infants either without respiratory disease, with thoraco-abdominal asynchrony, or with ventilatory support. This method is based on (i) a specifically adapted RIP jacket, (ii) the least squares method to estimate the volume/motion ribcage and abdominal coefficients, and (iii) an individualized filtering method that takes into account individual breathing pattern. The reference flow was recorded with a pneumotachograph. The accuracy of flow reconstruction using the new method was compared to the accuracy of three other calibration methods, with arbitrary fixed RIP coefficients or with coefficients determined according to qualitative diagnostic calibration method principle. Fifteen preterm neonates have been studied; gestational age was (mean +/- SD) 31.7 +/- 0.8 weeks; birth weight was 1,470 +/- 250 g. The respiratory flow determined with the new method had a goodness of fit at least equivalent to the other three methods in the entire group. Moreover, in unfavorable conditions--breathing asynchrony or ventilatory assist--the quality of fit was significantly higher than with the three other methods (P < 0.05, repeated measures ANOVA). Accuracy of tidal volume measurements was at least equivalent to the other methods, and the breath-by-breath differences with reference volumes were lower, although not significantly, than with the other methods. The goodness of fit of the reconstructed RIP flow with this new method--even in unfavorable respiratory conditions--provides a prerequisite for the study of flow pattern during the neonatal period.

Abstract
Human ventilation is aperiodic, exhibiting a breath-by-breath variability and a complexity of which the characteristics may be interesting physiologically and clinically. In the present study, we tested the ability of respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) to describe these properties. Indeed, RIP does not have the effects on ventilation described with mouthpiece measurements. We compared the ventilatory flow recorded with a pneumotachograph (V'PNT) and the ventilatory flow derived from the mathematical treatment of the thoracoabdominal motion signals obtained from a particular type of RIP (V'RIP, Visuresp, Meylan, France) in 8 freely breathing normal subjects. Using the Z correlation coefficient, Passing-Bablock regressions and Bland and Altman graphical analyses, we compared the coefficients of variation of the main discrete respiratory variables determined with V'PNT and V'RIP and a set of nonlinear descriptors including the noise limit (chaotic nature of the signal), largest Lyapunov exponent (sensitivity to initial conditions), the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy (unpredictability) and the correlation dimension (irregularity). When the recordings were obtained with the two techniques simultaneously, all the measurements were correlated and interchangeable. RIP can be safely used to quantify the breath-by-breath variability of ventilation and to study the complexity and the chaotic behavior of the ventilatory flow.

Abstract
The efficacy of the nasobuccal thermistor (NT) was compared with the nasal pressure cannula (NC) and the calibrated, time-differentiated respiratory inductance plethysmography sum signal (DS) in the detection of obstructive events in children during polysomnography (PSG). The overnight PSG of 20 consecutive referrals were selected for analysis. Obstructive events were scored in each study three times by one operator using a blinded procedure whereby either the NT, the NC or the DS was visible. The standard PSG channels were also visible. SPSS software was used for statistical analysis. Twenty patients aged 5 weeks to 16 years were studied. Agreement in obstructive apnoea-hypopnoea index (OAHI) was highest between the NT and NC, and the NC and DS. The NC signal was significantly more likely to be uninterpretable than the NT (P = 0.02) and this did not correlate with age. Event detection by the NT was significantly improved by the addition of either the NC (P = 0.01) or the DS (P = 0.001), while the NC stood alone unless the DS was added (P = 0.02). There was no significant difference in OAHI by the NC versus the DS. The NC detected significantly more OA than the NT or the DS (P = 0.04), while the DS trended towards detecting more OH. There was no significant difference in OAHI between any combination pair. The nasal cannula and differentiated sum signal perform better as measures of paediatric airflow than the NT. To optimize the detection of obstructive events in children we recommend using at least one, if not both these methods in paediatric sleep laboratories.

Abstract
Alveolar recruitment is one of the primary goals of respiratory care for acute lung injury. It is aimed at improving pulmonary gas exchange and, even more important, at protecting the lungs from ventilator-induced trauma. This review addresses the concept of alveolar recruitment for lung protection in acute lung injury. It provides reasons for why atelectasis and atelectrauma should be avoided; it analyses current and future approaches on how to achieve and preserve alveolar recruitment; and it discusses the possibilities of detecting alveolar recruitment and derecruitment. The latter is of particular clinical relevance because interventions aimed at lung recruitment are often undertaken without simultaneous verification of their effectiveness.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To analyze the physiologic effects and tolerance of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) for patients with chronic ventilatory failure of various etiologies. DESIGN Prospective clinical trial. SETTING Rehabilitation unit of a university hospital. PATIENTS OR PARTICIPANTS Thirteen patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), 9 patients with severe COPD, and 7 patients with other neuromuscular disorders (oNMDs) with chronic airway secretion encumbrance and decreases in oxyhemoglobin saturation (Spo(2)). INTERVENTIONS Pressures of MI-E of 15 cm H(2)O, 30 cm H(2)O, and 40 cm H(2)O were cycled to each patient, with 3 s for insufflation and 4 s for exsufflation. One application was six cycles at each pressure for a total of three applications. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS We continuously evaluated respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) and Spo(2) during every application. Peak cough flow (PCF) and dyspnea (Borg Scale) were also measured before the first and after the last application. The technique was well tolerated in all patient groups. Median Spo(2) improved significantly (p < 0.005) in all patient groups. Median PCF improved significantly (p < 0.005) in the ALS and oNMD groups from 170 to 200 L/min and from 180 to 220 L/min, respectively, and dyspnea improved significantly in the patients with oNMDs and patients with COPD from 3 to 1 and from 2 to 0.75, respectively. Breathing pattern characteristics (RIP) did not deteriorate after MI-E in any patient groups. Inspiratory flow limitation significantly decreased at the highest MI-E pressures for the ALS group. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm good tolerance and physiologic improvement in patients with restrictive disease and in patients with obstructive disease, suggesting that MI-E may be a potential complement to noninvasive ventilation for a wide variety of patient groups.

Abstract
We have shown that a polynomial equation, FP = AP3 + BP2 + CP + D, where F is flow and P is pressure, can accurately determine the presence of inspiratory flow limitation (IFL). This equation requires the invasive measurement of supraglottic pressure. We hypothesized that a modification of the equation that substitutes time for pressure would be accurate for the detection of IFL and allow for the noninvasive measurement of upper airway resistance. The modified equation is Ft = At3 + Bt2 + Ct + D, where F is flow and t is time from the onset of inspiration. To test our hypotheses, data analysis was performed as follows on 440 randomly chosen breaths from 18 subjects. First, we performed linear regression and determined that there is a linear relationship between pressure and time in the upper airway (R2 0.96 +/- 0.05, slope 0.96 +/- 0.06), indicating that time can be a surrogate for pressure. Second, we performed curve fitting and found that polynomial equation accurately predicts the relationship between flow and time in the upper airway (R2 0.93 +/- 0.12, error fit 0.02 +/- 0.08). Third, we performed a sensitivity-specificity analysis comparing the mathematical determination of IFL to manual determination using a pressure-flow loop. Mathematical determination had both high sensitivity (96%) and specificity (99%). Fourth, we calculated the upper airway resistance using the polynomial equation and compared the measurement to the manually determined upper airway resistance (also from a pressure-flow loop) using Bland-Altman analysis. Mean difference between calculated and measured upper airway resistance was 0.0 cmH2O x l(-1) x s(-1) (95% confidence interval -0.2, 0.2) with upper and lower limits of agreement of 2.8 cmH2O x l(-1) x s(-1) and -2.8 cmH2O x l(-1) x s(-1). We conclude that a polynomial equation can be used to model the flow-time relationship, allowing for the objective and accurate determination of upper airway resistance and the presence of IFL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Disconnecting the endotracheal tube from the ventilator causes significant loss in lung volume, which is further exacerbated by suctioning. In-line catheter suction systems have putative benefits over open catheter suction by maintaining positive pressure, thereby minimizing hypoxemia and hemodynamic instability. However, there is a theoretical risk of generating large negative airway pressures and auto-cycling of the ventilator with in-line catheter suction systems. We studied the effects on lung volume with both these techniques. DESIGN Open, randomized, crossover, clinical trial. SETTING Pediatric critical care unit. PATIENTS Fourteen paralyzed patients, age 6 days to 13 yrs. INTERVENTIONS Each patient, acting as his or her own control, was suctioned with an in-line catheter suction system and open catheter suction. Each suction maneuver was standardized. Changes in lung volume were measured by inductance plethysmography. Heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation were continuously monitored. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Total lung volume loss was greater with open catheter suction compared with in-line catheter suction systems (p = .008). The most significant amount of lung volume loss associated with open catheter suction appears to be related to ventilator disconnection, rather than actual suctioning. Patients with decreased pulmonary compliance (< 0.8 mL/cm H2O/kg) demonstrated a greater loss in lung volume, both absolute and relative, as a result of ventilator disconnection (p = .038 and .006, respectively). Patients suctioned with open catheter suction desaturated to a greater extent than patients suctioned with in-line catheter suction (p = .026). There was evidence of ventilator triggering during the actual suction maneuver in all patients during in-line catheter suctions. CONCLUSIONS The most significant loss in lung volume during suctioning occurs primarily during ventilator disconnection. Hence, open catheter suction results in greater lung volume loss when compared with in-line catheter suction. We suggest that in-line catheter suction is preferable, especially in patients with significant lung disease and who require high positive end-expiratory pressures, to avoid alveolar derecruitment and exacerbating hypoxemia during endotracheal tube suctioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recommendations from the American Society of Anesthesiologists suggest that monitoring for apnea using the detection of exhaled carbon dioxide (capnography) is a useful adjunct in the assessment of ventilatory status of patients undergoing sedation and analgesia. There are no data on the utility of capnography in GI endoscopy, nor is the frequency of abnormal ventilatory activity during endoscopy known. The aims of this study were to determine the following: (1) the frequency of abnormal ventilatory activity during therapeutic upper endoscopy, (2) the sensitivity of observation and pulse oximetry in the detection of apnea or disordered respiration, and (3) whether capnography provides an improvement over accepted monitoring techniques. METHODS Forty-nine patients undergoing therapeutic upper endoscopy were monitored with standard methods including pulse oximetry, automated blood pressure measurement, and visual assessment. In addition, graphic assessment of respiratory activity with sidestream capnography was performed in all patients. Endoscopy personnel were blinded to capnography data. Episodes of apnea or disordered respiration detected by capnography were documented and compared with the occurrence of hypoxemia, hypercapnea, hypotension, and the recognition of abnormal respiratory activity by endoscopy personnel. RESULTS Comparison of simultaneous respiratory rate measurements obtained by capnography and by auscultation with a pretracheal stethoscope verified that capnography was an excellent indicator of respiratory rate when compared with the reference standard (auscultation) (r = 0.967, p < 0.001). Fifty-four episodes of apnea or disordered respiration occurred in 28 patients (mean duration 70.8 seconds). Only 50% of apnea or disordered respiration episodes were eventually detected by pulse oximetry. None were detected by visual assessment (p < 0.0010). CONCLUSIONS Apnea/disordered respiration occurs commonly during therapeutic upper endoscopy and frequently precedes the development of hypoxemia. Potentially important abnormalities in respiratory activity are undetected with pulse oximetry and visual assessment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the short term application of continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) increases muscle sympathetic nerve activity in patients with congestive heart failure. SETTING University hospital and tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS 10 patients with congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional class III; mean (SEM) left ventricular ejection fraction 22 (1)%) and 10 healthy subjects matched for age, sex, and weight. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Muscle sympathetic nerve activity, assessed by microneurography of the peroneal nerve, blood pressure, heart rate, minute ventilation, transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and end tidal PCO(2) were measured during normal breathing, mask breathing, and CPAP at 5 and 10 cm H(2)O. RESULTS CPAP induced an increase in muscle sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure in both the patients and the control subjects. In the patients, sympathetic nerve activity increased from 43 (14) bursts/min during mask breathing to 47 (13) bursts/min at CPAP 10 cm H(2)0 (p = 0.03); mean blood pressure increased from 80 (3) mm Hg to 86 (4) mm Hg (p < 0.001). Oxygen saturation improved during CPAP in the patients, from 95.7 (0.6)% to 96.6 (0.7)% (p = 0.004) and remained stable in the control group. There was no effect of CPAP on minute ventilation or heart rate. CONCLUSIONS In patients with congestive heart failure, short term CPAP elicits sympathetic activation, probably because of unloading of the aortic or cardiopulmonary baroreceptors.

Abstract
Monitoring lung volume is important in the treatment of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. However, there are no tools available for lung volume measurement to guide ventilator management during high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) and during dynamic changes in conventional ventilation (CV). We studied the performance of a new respiratory inductive plethysmograph (RIP) with modified software. We measured Delta changes in lung volume above end-expiratory volume (V(RIP)) during HFOV and studied whether changes in V(RIP) parallel changes in mean airway pressure. Calibration of the plethysmograph was made by serial injections of a known gas volume in six term (140 d gestation) and eight preterm (125 d gestation) lambs. Linear regression analysis of the relationship between injected gas volume and V(RIP) showed strong correlation (r(2) = 0.93-1.00 term animals, r(2) = 0.86-1.00 preterm animals). The pressure volume curves from the calibration with the injected gas volumes also correlated well with the pressure volume curves extrapolated from changes in V(RIP). Lung hysteresis was clearly demonstrated with RIP after changes in mean airway pressure during HFOV and after changes in positive end-expiratory pressure during CV. We conclude that measurements of lung volume in term and preterm lambs by use of modified RIP correlate well with changes in mean airway pressure during HFOV, with static pressure volume curves and with changes in positive end-expiratory pressure during CV. We speculate that this technique may provide clinically useful information about changes in lung volume during HFOV and CV. However, evaluation of the precision and chronic stability of RIP measurements over prolonged periods will require further studies.
