Reflex Cough

Multiple studies suggest a role for the cerebral cortex in the generation of reflex cough in awake humans. Reflex cough is preceded by detection of an urge to cough; strokes specifically within the cerebral cortex can affect parameters of reflex cough, and reflex cough can be voluntarily suppressed. However, it is not known to what extent healthy, awake humans can volitionally modulate the cough reflex, aside from suppression. The aims of this study were to determine whether conscious humans can volitionally modify their reflexive cough and, if so, to determine what parameters of the cough waveform and corresponding muscle activity can be modified. Twenty adults (18–40 yr, 4 men) volunteered for study participation and gave verbal and written informed consent. Participants were seated and outfitted with a facemask and pneumotacograph, and two surface EMG electrodes were positioned over expiratory muscles. Capsaicin (200 μM) was delivered via dosimeter and one-way (inspiratory) valve attached to a side port between the facemask and pneumotachograph. Cough airflow and surface EMG activity were recorded across tasks including 1) baseline, 2) small cough (cough smaller or softer than normal), 3) long cough (cough longer or louder than normal), and 4) not cough (alternative behavior). All participants coughed in response to 200 μM capsaicin and were able to modify the cough. Variables exhibiting changes include those related to the peak airflow during the expiratory phase. Results demonstrate that it is possible to volitionally modify cough motor output characteristics.

Reflex Cough

We investigated the effects of lung inflation during continuous positive airway pressure breathing (CPAP) on airway defensive reflexes in 10 enflurane-anesthetized spontaneously breathing humans. The airway defensive reflexes were induced by instillation into the trachea of 0.5 ml of distilled water at two different levels of end-expiratory pressure (0 and 10 cmH2O CPAP). The tracheal irritation at an end-expiratory pressure of 0 cmH2O caused a variety of reflex responses including apnea, spasmodic panting, expiration reflex, cough reflex, an increase in heart rate, and an increase in blood pressure. Lung inflation during CPAP of 10 cmH2O did not exert any influence on these reflex responses in terms of the types, latencies, and durations of reflex responses although the intensity of the expiration reflex and cough reflex was augmented by lung inflation. Our results suggest that the pulmonary stretch receptors do not play an important role in the mechanisms of airway defensive reflexes in humans.
