[PMID: 38818499 PMCID: PMC11139531 DOI: 10.1155/2024/8884030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Methods Participants underwent respiratory muscle training for 24 weeks. The main results were changes in respiratory muscle strength and pulmonary function indices (forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), forced expiratory flow 25-75% (FEF25-75%), and maximal midexpiratory flow 75/25 (MMEF75/25)) before, 12 weeks after, and 24 weeks after the intervention. The secondary outcomes were changes in the exercise load and work rate, exercise work, Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) scale, and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Results Compared with before the intervention, after 24 weeks of respiratory muscle training, the maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) were significantly enhanced (P < 0.05), while FVC, FEV1, and PEF were significantly increased (P < 0.01). FEF25-75 and MMEF75/25 values showed significant improvement compared to those before training (P < 0.05). The exercise loading, work, and exercise work rate of expiratory muscle training were significantly improved compared to those before intervention (P < 0.05). The LCQ score increased significantly (P < 0.001), and the FSS score decreased significantly (P < 0.001). Conclusion Incremental load respiratory muscle training effectively improved children's lung function over the long term, improved the strength of their inspiratory and expiratory muscles, and improved their quality of life.

Eur J Appl Physiol 2024; 124:1151-1161. [PMID: 37923886 DOI: 10.1007/s00421-023-05338-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare deoxygenation of the sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, and diaphragm/intercostals (Dia/IC) during submaximal intermittent neck flexion (INF) versus submaximal inspiratory threshold loading (ITL) in healthy adults. METHODS Fourteen participants performed a randomized, cross-over, repeated measures design. After evaluation of maximal inspiratory pressures (MIP) and maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) for isometric neck flexion, participants were randomly assigned to submaximal ITL or INF until task failure. At least 2 days later, they performed the submaximal exercises in the opposite order. ITL or INF targeted 50 ± 5% of the MIP or MVC, respectively, until task failure. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was applied to evaluate changes of deoxy-hemoglobin (ΔHHb), oxy-hemoglobin (ΔO2Hb), total hemoglobin (ΔtHb), and tissue saturation of oxygen (StO2) of the sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, and Dia/IC. Breathlessness and perceived exertion were evaluated using Borg scales. RESULTS Initially during INF, sternocleidomastoid HHb slope was greatest compared to the scalenes and Dia/IC. At isotime (6.5-7 min), ΔtHb (a marker of blood volume) and ΔO2Hb of the sternocleidomastoid were higher during INF than ITL. Sternocleidomastoid HHb, O2Hb, and tHb during INF also increased at quartile and task failure timepoints. In contrast, scalene ΔO2Hb was higher during ITL than INF at isotime. Further, Dia/IC O2Hb and tHb increased during ITL at the third quartile and at task failure. Borg scores were lower at task failure during INF compared to ITL. CONCLUSION Intermittent INF induces significant metabolic activity of the sternocleidomastoid and a lower perception of effort, which may provide an alternative inspiratory muscle training approach for mechanically ventilated patients.

Abstract
Objective.In this paper, we present a detailedin vivocharacterization of the optical and hemodynamic properties of the human sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), obtained through ultrasound-guided near-infrared time-domain and diffuse correlation spectroscopies.Approach.A total of sixty-five subjects (forty-nine females, sixteen males) among healthy volunteers and thyroid nodule patients have been recruited for the study. Their SCM hemodynamic (oxy-, deoxy- and total hemoglobin concentrations, blood flow, blood oxygen saturation and metabolic rate of oxygen extraction) and optical properties (wavelength dependent absorption and reduced scattering coefficients) have been measured by the use of a novel hybrid device combining in a single unit time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy, diffuse correlation spectroscopy and simultaneous ultrasound imaging.Main results.We provide detailed tables of the results related to SCM baseline (i.e. muscle at rest) properties, and reveal significant differences on the measured parameters due to variables such as side of the neck, sex, age, body mass index, depth and thickness of the muscle, allowing future clinical studies to take into account such dependencies.Significance.The non-invasive monitoring of the hemodynamics and metabolism of the sternocleidomastoid muscle during respiration became a topic of increased interest partially due to the increased use of mechanical ventilation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Near-infrared diffuse optical spectroscopies were proposed as potential practical monitors of increased recruitment of SCM during respiratory distress. They can provide clinically relevant information on the degree of the patient's respiratory effort that is needed to maintain an optimal minute ventilation, with potential clinical application ranging from evaluating chronic pulmonary diseases to more acute settings, such as acute respiratory failure, or to determine the readiness to wean from invasive mechanical ventilation.

Effects of inspiratory muscle training on exertional breathlessness in patients with unilateral diaphragm dysfunction: a randomised trial. ERJ Open Res 2023; 9:00300-2023.

Abstract
Background Unilateral diaphragm dysfunction (UDD) is an underdiagnosed cause of dyspnoea. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is the only conservative treatment for UDD, but the mechanisms of improvement are unknown. We characterised the effects of IMT on dyspnoea, exercise tolerance and respiratory muscle function in people with UDD. Methods 15 people with UDD (73% male, 61±8 years) were randomised to 6 months of IMT (50% maximal inspiratory mouth pressure (PI,max), n=10) or sham training (10% PI,max, n=5) (30 breaths twice per day). UDD was confirmed by phrenic nerve stimulation and persisted throughout the training period. Symptoms were assessed by the transitional dyspnoea index (TDI) and exercise tolerance by constant-load cycle tests performed pre- and post-training. Oesophageal (Pes) and gastric (Pga) pressures were measured with a dual-balloon catheter. Electromyography (EMG) and oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy) of respiratory muscles were assessed continuously during exercise. Results The IMT group (from 45±6 to 62±23% PI,max) and sham group (no progression) completed 92 and 86% of prescribed sessions, respectively. PI,max, TDI scores and cycle endurance time improved significantly more after IMT versus sham (mean between-group differences: 28 (95% CI 13-28) cmH2O, 3.0 (95% CI 0.9-5.1) points and 6.0 (95% CI 0.4-11.5) min, respectively). During exercise at iso-time, Pes, Pga and EMG of the scalene muscles were reduced and the oxygen saturation indices of the scalene and abdominal muscles were higher post- versus pre-training only in the IMT group (all p<0.05). Conclusion The effects of IMT on dyspnoea and exercise tolerance in UDD were not mediated by an improvement in isolated diaphragm function, but may reflect improvements in strength, coordination and/or oxygenation of the extra-diaphragmatic respiratory muscles.

Do Cerebral Cortex Perfusion, Oxygen Delivery, and Oxygen Saturation Responses Measured by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Differ Between Patients Who Fail or Succeed in a Spontaneous Breathing Trial? A Prospective Observational Study. Neurocrit Care 2023; 38:105-117. [PMID: 36450970 PMCID: PMC9713166 DOI: 10.1007/s12028-022-01641-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alterations in perfusion to the brain during the transition from mechanical ventilation (MV) to a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) remain poorly understood. The aim of the study was to determine whether changes in cerebral cortex perfusion, oxygen delivery (DO2), and oxygen saturation (%StiO2) during the transition from MV to an SBT differ between patients who succeed or fail an SBT. METHODS This was a single-center prospective observational study conducted in a 16-bed medical intensive care unit of the University Hospital Leuven, Belgium. Measurements were performed in 24 patients receiving MV immediately before and at the end of a 30-min SBT. Blood flow index (BFI), DO2, and %StiO2 in the prefrontal cortex, scalene, rectus abdominis, and thenar muscle were simultaneously assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy using the tracer indocyanine green dye. Cardiac output, arterial blood gases, and systemic oxygenation were also recorded. RESULTS During the SBT, prefrontal cortex BFI and DO2 responses did not differ between SBT-failure and SBT-success groups (p > 0.05). However, prefrontal cortex %StiO2 decreased in six of eight patients (75%) in the SBT-failure group (median [interquartile range 25-75%]: MV = 57.2% [49.1-61.7] vs. SBT = 51.0% [41.5-62.5]) compared to 3 of 16 patients (19%) in the SBT-success group (median [interquartile range 25-75%]: MV = 65.0% [58.6-68.5] vs. SBT = 65.1% [59.5-71.1]), resulting in a significant differential %StiO2 response between groups (p = 0.031). Similarly, a significant differential response in thenar muscle %StiO2 (p = 0.018) was observed between groups. A receiver operating characteristic analysis identified a decrease in prefrontal cortex %StiO2 > 1.6% during the SBT as an optimal cutoff, with a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 75% to predict SBT failure and an area under the curve of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.55-1.00). Cardiac output, systemic oxygenation, scalene, and rectus abdominis BFI, DO2, and %StiO2 responses did not differ between groups (p > 0.05); however, during the SBT, a significant positive association in prefrontal cortex BFI and partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide was observed only in the SBT-success group (SBT success: Spearman's ρ = 0.728, p = 0.002 vs. SBT failure: ρ = 0.048, p = 0.934). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated a reduced differential response in prefrontal cortex %StiO2 in the SBT-failure group compared with the SBT-success group possibly due to the insufficient increase in prefrontal cortex perfusion in SBT-failure patients. A > 1.6% drop in prefrontal cortex %StiO2 during SBT was sensitive in predicting SBT failure. Further research is needed to validate these findings in a larger population and to evaluate whether cerebral cortex %StiO2 measurements by near-infrared spectroscopy can assist in the decision-making process on liberation from MV.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection results in multiorgan damage primarily mediated by viral infiltration via angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 receptors on the surface of cells. A primary symptom for many patients is exertional dyspnoea which may persist even beyond recovery from the viral infection. Respiratory muscle (RM) performance was hypothesised as a contributing factor to the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms, such as dyspnoea, and outcomes. This was attributed to similarities between patient populations at elevated risk for severe COVID-19 symptoms and those with a greater likelihood of baseline RM weakness and the effects of prolonged mechanical ventilation. More recent evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection itself may cause damage to the RM, and many patients who have recovered report persistent dyspnoea despite having mild cases, normal lung function or undamaged lung parenchyma. These more recent findings suggest that the role of RM in the persistent dyspnoea due to COVID-19 may be more substantial than originally hypothesised. Therefore, screening for RM weakness and providing interventions to improve RM performance appears to be important for patients with COVID-19. This article will review the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on RM performance and provide clinical recommendations for screening RM performance and treatment interventions.
