Respiratory muscle fatigue

Intensive Care Medicine, 1989
When respiratory muscle demands for energy exceed supplies, the energy stored within the muscles is depleted and the force of contraction diminishes. This state is called inspiratory muscle fatigue. When it occurs alveolar ventilation decreases, arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) increases and hypercapnic respiratory failure ensues.

Skeletal Muscle Fatigue

Physical Therapy Reviews, 2002
Skeletal muscle fatigue is a complex problem which deserves attention from physiotherapists and other clinical practitioners. This article will discuss the findings of recent literature to explore some of the main mechanisms thought to underlie fatigue in skeletal muscles. These mechanisms may be peripheral in origin, occurring within the muscle fibres

Skeletal Muscle Fatigue

Comprehensive Physiology, 2012
AbstractSkeletal muscle fatigue is defined as the fall of force or power in response to contractile activity. Both the mechanisms of fatigue and the modes used to elicit it vary tremendously. Conceptual and technological advances allow the examination of fatigue from the level of the single molecule to the intact organism.

Muscle Fatigue and Muscle Injury

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2000
The purpose of this review is to acquaint the reader with the neurobiology of muscle fatigue. Muscle fatigue is a complex, multifactorial process. The authors have covered the chain of events bringing about skeletal muscle contraction and the manner in which fatigue may affect each step.

Respiratory Muscle Fatigue

1995
Ventilatory failure may accompany a variety of pulmonary and neuromuscular diseases. There has been much controversy about whether this failure is due to respiratory muscle fatigue at peripheral sites or a failure of drive at sites within the central nervous system. The chapter reviews this topic.
