Abstract
Adult cats were equipped with standard electrodes and skull-bolts for chronic sleep recordings with head-restraint. Respiration was monitored with a pneumotachograph connected to a tube which was inserted into the trachea through a chronic fistula. Episodes of breathing in wakefulness (W), nonrapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep were recorded and digitized for computer analysis. The combined means and standard errors of the mean for frequency of breathing (f), peak inspiratory airflow rate (PF), tidal volume (Vt) and minute-volume (e) were as follows, (1) In NREM, f was lower (25.5 ± 0.35/min) than in W (37.5 ± 1.5) and REM (41.8 ± 1.9). Changes in f across states resulted from changes in both the lengths of inspiration (Ti) and expiration (Te). The ratio Ti/Ti+Tk progressively increased from W to NREM and from NREM to REM. (2) PF decreased from W (4.324 liter/min) to NREM (3.03 ± 0.04) and REM (2.572 ± 0.05). There was a strong positive correlation between PF and Vt. (3) Vt was larger in NREM (35.1 ± 0.43 ml) than in W (33.2 ± 0.73) or REM (24.4 ± 0.63). VT and f were positively correlated on a breath-by-breath basis. (4) Ve decreased in sleep (W = 1081 ± 25 ml; NREM = 883 ± 9.9: REM = 806 ± 19). Cats were also studied with dead spaces added to the pneumotachograph. Ventilation parameters increased, but the effects of state on breathing, as determined without added dead space, were confirmed.

The hypothesis that prolonged apnea, a physiological component of sleep, is part of the final pathway resulting in sudden death is supported and it is suggested also, that infants at risk might be identified prior to the final tragic event.

The solubility of acetylene in lung tissue is measured by a rebreathing technique and enough acetylene is dissolved in the lung tissue to simulate an extra gaseous lung volume between 0.274–0.48 liters, which should give an error of 7–12 % in cardiac output determination with the acetylene rebreather method.

During quiet breathing and in hyperpnoea there is a linear relation between pulmonary ventilation and tidal volume and parameter m, which is closely reproducible from day to day but differs from subject to subject and is positively correlated with the slope of the e ,P a CO2 response curve at high P a o2.

Upper airway apnea appears to induce the greatest changes: oxygen desaturation is more pronounced than in a central apnea of similar duration, and secondary cardiac changes are observed earlier and are more severe.

It is possible that the short-term patterns of breathing in man reflect the behaviour of a respiratory control mechanism which is actively regulating the depth and rate of breathing for any given level of ventilation.

The consistency of this breathing pattern suggests that respiration in this stage of sleep is not a direct function of dream content, and may even resemble Cheyne-Stokes respiration.

The results indicate that changes in respiratory control and stability during sleep are not due to fluctuations in vagal influence despite the fact that one vagal reflex (HBIR) was sleep-state dependent.

It is concluded that the previously observed tendency for ventilation to be held constant from breath to breath during steady‐state breathing depends predominantly on the tendency for VI to beheld constant.

84 Citations1958Donal J. Reed, Ralph H. Kellogg
There was little if any change in shape or slope of the CO2 response curve with sleep either at sea level or altitude, suggesting that the effects of sleep were superimposed on the respiratory readjustment accompanying altitude acclimatization.

The time course of the volume threshold curve for the inspiratory off-switch, i.e. the relationship between volume, (Vx) and inspiratory duration (Tj) with intact vagus nerves, was determined in steady conditions at different inspired CO2 concentrations and body temperatures in lightly anesthetized cats by means of ‘ramp’-shaped inflations and deflations of different rise times.
