Mechanics of the respiratory system and breathing pattern during sleep in normal humans
Abstract
The purposes of this investigation were to describe the changes in 1) dynamic compliance of the lungs, 2) airflow resistance, and 3) breathing pattern that occur during sleep in normal adult humans. Six subjects wore a tightly fitting face mask. Flow and volume were obtained from a pneumotachograph attached to the face mask. Transpulmonary pressure was calculated as the difference between esophageal pressure obtained with a balloon and mask pressure. At least 20 consecutive breaths were analyzed for dynamic compliance, airflow resistance, and breathing pattern during wakefulness, non-rapid-eye-movement stage 2 and rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep. Dynamic compliance did not change significantly. Airflow resistance increased during sleep; resistance was 3.93 +/- 0.56 cmH2O X 1–1 X s during wakefulness, 7.96 +/- 0.95 in stage 2 sleep, and 8.66 +/- 1.43 in REM sleep (P less than 0.02). By placing a catheter in the retroepiglottic space and thus dividing the airway into upper and lower zones, we found the increase in resistance occurred almost entirely above the larynx. Decreases in tidal volume, minute ventilation, and mean inspiratory flow observed during sleep were not statistically significant.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
