The motor pattern of tracheobronchial cough is affected by inspiratory resistance and expiratory occlusion - The evidence for volume feedback during cough expiration.

The role of pulmonary stretch receptor discharge and volume feedback in modulation of tracheobronchial cough is not fully understood. The current study investigates the effect of expiratory occlusion with or without preceding inspiratory resistance (delivery of tidal or cough volume by the ventilator lasting over the active cough expiratory period) on the cough motor pattern. Experiments on 9 male cats under pentobarbital sodium anesthesia have shown that inspiratory resistance followed by expiratory occlusion increased cough inspiratory and expiratory efforts and prolonged several time intervals (phases) related to muscle activation during cough. Expiratory occlusion (at regular cough volume) decreased number of coughs, increased amplitudes of abdominal electromyographic activity, inspiratory and expiratory esophageal pressure during cough and significantly prolonged cough temporal features. Correlation analysis supported major changes in cough expiratory effort and timing due to the occlusion. Our results support a high importance of volume feedback, including that during cough expulsion, for generation and modulation of cough motor pattern with obstruction or expiratory airway resistances, the conditions present during various pulmonary diseases.
