Respiratory drive: a journey from health to disease
Respiratory drive is defined as the intensity of respiratory centers output during the breath and is primarily affected by cortical and chemical feedback mechanisms.

Clinical risk factors for increased respiratory drive in intubated hypoxemic patients
Background There is very limited evidence identifying factors that increase respiratory drive in hypoxemic intubated patients. Most physiological determinants of respiratory drive cannot be directly assessed at the bedside (e.g., neural inputs from chemo-

Sleep brings major challenges for the control of ventilation in humans, particularly the regulation of arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO2). In patients with COPD, chronic hypercapnia is associated with increased mortality.

Effect of diaphragm fatigue on neural respiratory drive
To test the hypothesis that diaphragm fatigue leads to an increase in neural respiratory drive, we measured the esophageal diaphragm electromyogram (EMG) during CO2 rebreathing before and after diaphragm fatigue in six normal subjects.

Oxygen therapy in respiratory disorders [PDF]
PhDOxygen therapy remains a cornerstone of medical practice and is generally regarded as being safe. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence to support the routine use of oxygen therapy, and in certain conditions, injudicious oxygen may cause harm.

Neural Respiratory Drive and Arousal in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea. [PDF]
Study Objectives: It has been hypothesized that arousals after apnea and hypopnea events in patients with obstructive sleep apnea are triggered when neural respiratory drive exceeds a certain level, but this hypothesis is based on esophageal pressure ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow maintains healthy brain homeostasis, facilitating solute transport and the exchange of brain waste products. CSF flow is thus important for brain health, but the mechanisms that control its large-scale movement through the ...

Respiratory drive in the acute respiratory distress syndrome: pathophysiology, monitoring, and therapeutic interventions [PDF]
Neural respiratory drive, i.e., the activity of respiratory centres controlling breathing, is an overlooked physiologic variable which affects the pathophysiology and the clinical outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Chronic pulmonary fibrosis alters the functioning of the respiratory neural network
Some patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis present impaired ventilatory variables characterised by low forced vital capacity values associated with an increase in respiratory rate and a decrease in tidal volume which could be related to the ...

Neural Respiratory Drive in Patients with COPD during Exercise Tests
Background: It is unknown whether neural drive is comparable in constant rate and incremental exercise tests. Few data have previously been available to address this question because of the lack of reliable methods to assess neural respiratory drive in ...
