Respiratory Muscles and Dyspnea

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
This article reviews the classical basis on which dyspnea is identified and quantified. The sensation or sensations of discomfort experienced during breathing are then viewed using a background of sensory physiology. Exploiting psychophysical techniques, the origin of the sensation of discomfort is viewed within the constraints of the presently-known ...

Pharmacotherapy of Respiratory Muscles

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
This article assesses the role of pharmacotherapy in the management of respiratory muscle dysfunction. It focuses on two classes of drugs, the methylxanthines and the sympathomimetic agents. A prospective section focuses also on the particularities of the diaphragm among the skeletal striated muscles.

Respiratory muscle fatigue

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2002
The contribution of respiratory muscle fatigue to the development of ventilatory failure has been the subject of considerable interest and has stimulated much research. Experimental studies in dogs have shown respiratory muscle fatigue to be a cause of ventilatory failure in both cardiogenic and septic shock models.

Respiratory Muscle Failure

Medical Clinics of North America, 1983
The diseases which are commonly complicated by hypercapnic respiratory failure also compromise the respiratory muscles in several ways. Increased work of breathing, mechanical disadvantage, neuromuscular disease, impaired nutritional status, shock, hypoxemia, acidosis, and deficiency of potassium, magnesium, and inorganic phosphorus are the major non ...

Respiratory Muscle Function

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1986
The functional anatomy of the respiratory muscles has been reviewed. The diaphragm has been emphasized, since this is the most important inspiratory muscle, but the view has been presented that the intercostal, scaleni, and other accessory inspiratory muscles become increasingly important as airflow obstruction leads to hyperinflation.

Respiratory Muscle Training

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
The application of skeletal muscle training principles to the respiratory muscles is a relatively new field. Strength and endurance training of the respiratory muscles can be achieved in normal humans and in patients with neuromuscular and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.

THE DIAPHRAGM AND RESPIRATORY MUSCLES

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 1998
This article describes the functional anatomy of the muscles that contribute to the generation of ventilatory pressures. The physiologic principles that guide their function are analyzed, and their composition and metabolism are described, inasmuch as this affects their adaptation and capacity to face acute and chronic loads. Special emphasis is placed

Respiratory Action of the Intercostal Muscles

Physiological Reviews, 2005
The mechanical advantages of the external and internal intercostals depend partly on the orientation of the muscle but mostly on interspace number and the position of the muscle within each interspace. Thus the external intercostals in the dorsal portion of the rostral interspaces have a large inspiratory mechanical advantage, but this advantage ...

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.

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.
