Abstract
Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) has been postulated to enhance mucociliary clearance by improving tracheobronchial sputum rheological properties. The IPV effects on linear (viscoelasticity) and non-linear (flowing) rheological properties of 40 sputum samples collected from 19 patients with muco-obstructive lung diseases were investigated ex-vivo. Each sputum sample was split into 4 aliquots. These aliquots were independently placed in a circuit connected on one side to an IPV device and on the other side to a lung model that simulated spontaneous adult breaths. IPV was superimposed on simulated breathing. Three aliquots were exposed to a different IPV setting, modifying either percussion frequency or amplitude (4 Hz-200 L/min, 10 Hz-200 L/min, 10 Hz-140 L/min). One aliquot was only exposed to breathing (IPV was switched off, control condition). Each aliquot underwent 5 min of the pre-fixed mechanical stimulation before being recollected to proceed to rheological analysis. Neither percussion frequencies nor amplitudes had a significant impact on any sputum rheological properties studied. These results need to be confirmed in vivo.
期刊介绍:
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology (RESPNB) publishes original articles and invited reviews concerning physiology and pathophysiology of respiration in its broadest sense.
Although a special focus is on topics in neurobiology, high quality papers in respiratory molecular and cellular biology are also welcome, as are high-quality papers in traditional areas, such as:
-Mechanics of breathing-
Gas exchange and acid-base balance-
Respiration at rest and exercise-
Respiration in unusual conditions, like high or low pressure or changes of temperature, low ambient oxygen-
Embryonic and adult respiration-
Comparative respiratory physiology.
Papers on clinical aspects, original methods, as well as theoretical papers are also considered as long as they foster the understanding of respiratory physiology and pathophysiology.
