Research Abstract

Objectives : To examine the effects of pressure-support ventilation on recovery from acute diaphragmatic fatigue.
Design : Prospective laboratory trial.
Setting : Experimental laboratory.
Subjects : Twenty-one healthy, adult New Zealand white rabbits.
Interventions : Diaphragmatic fatigue was induced with 50-Hz phrenic nerve stimulation for 30 mins.Recovery was compared between pressure-support ventilation 0 cm H_2O (SB), 10 cm H_2O (P10), and 20 cm H_2O (P20) for 90 mins immediately after the end of the fatigue inducing procedure.
Measurements and Main Results : After the fatigue-inducing procedure, pressure-support ventllation reduced transdiaphrag-matic pressure and integrated diaphragmatic electromyogram both at P20 and P1O, but not in SB.Recovery was assessed by airway occlusion pressure (Poccl) generated by high- (100Hz) and low- (20Hz) frequency phrenic nerve stimulation.Poccl at 100 Hz was lower in P1O and P20 than in SB (74.6 * 6.2 [SEM] %, 66.9 * 3.3%, and 94.8 * 3.6% of the baseline at 90 mins for P10, P20, and SB, respectively), while those at 20 Hz showed no differences between the three groups.
Conclusion : Recovery from acute diaphragmatic fatigue might be disturbed with pressure-support ventilation.
