Respiratory phase locking during mechanical ventilation in anesthetized human subjects

C. Graves, L. Glass, D. Laporta, R. Meloche and A. Grassino

The coupling patterns between the rhythm of a mechanical ventilator and the rhythm of spontaneous breathing were studied in enflurane-anesthetized adult human subjects. The spontaneous breathing pattern was altered in response to different frequencies and amplitudes of forced lung inflations. A 1:1 phase locking (the frequency of the mechanical ventilator is matched by the frequency of spontaneous breathing with a fixed phase between the 2 rhythms) was observed in a range of up to +/- 40% of some of the subject's spontaneous breathing frequencies. During 1:1 phase locking, there were marked changes in the expiratory duration as measured from the electromyogram of the diaphragm. The phase relationship between onset of inflation and onset of inspiration depended on the frequency and amplitude of mechanical inflation. At ventilator settings that did not give 1:1 phase locking, other simple phase-locked patterns, such as 1:2 and 2:1, or irregular non-phase-locked patterns were observed. Reflexes arising from lung inflation, which may underlie the entrainment, are discussed in the context of these results.
