2 Exacerbations Co-morbidities Inflammation Poor quality of life Degree of airflow obstruction (FEV 1 ) COPD Gas exchange abnormalities Ventilatory Limitation and Mechanical constraints Breathlessness Anxiety Depression Exercise intolerance Poor nutritional status Cardiovascular limitation Peripheral muscle dysfunction/weakness Laveneziana P and Palange P, Eur Respir J. 2012

3 Dyspnée: "un inconfort respiratoire survenant pour un niveau d'activité usuel qui n'entraîne normalement aucune gêne [Killian et Campbell, 1991]. Cette définition permet de dire que la dyspnée est d'autant plus sévère que l'intensité de l'activité qui la provoque est faible [Killian et Campbell, 1991]. Laviolette L and Laveneziana P, Eur Respir J. 2014

4 Physical Task Ventilation Expiratory Flow Limitation Hyperinflation Rspiratory muscle weakness/fatigue/dysfunction DYSPNOEA Deconditioning Peripheral muscle dysfunction/weakness Physical Activity Poor health-related quality of life Laviolette L and Laveneziana P, Eur Respir J. 2014

5 Normal COPD P L V. P L V. expiratory flow-limitation airways resistance airway tethering Expiratory flow-limitation mechanical time-constant for lung emptying (compliance x resistance) Expiratory time available is insufficient to allow EELV to return to its baseline value Gas retention or air trapping or lung hyperinflation Laviolette L and Laveneziana P, Eur Respir J. 2014

6 Normal COPD P L V. P L V. expiratory flow-limitation airways resistance airway tethering In other words, lung emptying during expiration becomes incomplete because it is interrupted by the next inspiration and EELV therefore exceeds the natural relaxation volume of the respiratory system (Palv > Patm) Laviolette L and Laveneziana P, Eur Respir J. 2014

7 Dynamic hyperinflation: a temporary and variable increase in end expiratory lung volume (EELV) beyond its baseline value EELV: volume of gas left in the lung at the end of a quiet breath out Laviolette L and Laveneziana P, Eur Respir J. 2014

The opposite is also true, of course!

14 Ventilatory Mechanics: COPD P sniff Lung hyperinflation (static and/or dynamic EELV increase) places the inspiratory muscles, especially the diaphragm, at a significant mechanical disadvantage by shortening its fibers, thereby compromising its force generating capacity [Laghi F and Tobin MJ. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2003; 168: 10-48] reserve In the presence of static lung hyperinflation this functional muscle weakness is mitigated, to some extent, by long term adaptations which causes a leftward shift of the length-tension relationship, thus improving the ability of the muscles to generate force at higher lung volumes: shortening of diaphragmatic sarcomeres [Orozco- Levi M, et al. Eur Respir J 1999; 13: ] decrease in sarcomere number [Supinski GS, Kelsen SG. Effect of elastase-induced emphysema on the force-generating ability of the diaphragm. J Clin Invest 1982; 70: ]

15 Ventilatory Mechanics: COPD P sniff In patients with chronic lung hyperinflation, adaptive alterations in muscle fiber composition (an increase in the relative proportion of slow-twitch, fatigue resistant, type I fibres) [Levine S, et al. N Engl J Med 1997; 337: ; Mercadier JJ, et al. Am J Physiol 1998; 274(4 Pt 1): L ] reserve and oxidative capacity (an increase in mitochondrial concentration and efficiency of the electron transport chain) [Orozco-Levi M, et al. Eur Respir J 1999; 13: ] are believed to preserve the functional strength of the overburdened diaphragm [Similowski T, et al. N Engl J Med 1991; 325: ] and make it more resistant to fatigue [Orozco-Levi M, et al. Eur Respir J 1999; 13: ; Levine S, et al. N Engl J Med 1997; 337: ; Mador MJ, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2000; 161: ]

16 Ventilatory Mechanics: COPD %VC In this regard, Similowski and colleagues demonstrated that the reduction in pressure-generating capacity of the inspiratory muscles of stable COPD patients was related to lung hyperinflation and that diaphragmatic function in such patients was comparable to normal subjects when measurements were compared at the same lung volume Similowski T, et al. N Engl J Med 1991; 325: The evidence that measurable fatigue develops in COPD is inconclusive, even at the limits of tolerance Pressure (cmh 2 O) Mador MJ et al., Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2000; 161: Bye PT et al., Am Rev Respir Dis 1985; 132: Sinderby C et al., Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2001; 163: Polkey MI et al.

32 Spinal anesthesia and exercise tolerance Gagnon P et al. AJRCCM 2012;186:

33 Interpretation Spinal anesthesia improved exercise tolerance in COPD. As a result of spinal anesthesia, the perception of leg fatigue was decreased, central motor output was increased and the degree of fatigue increased. The reduction in VE was important in explaining the improved exercise tolerance and reduction in dyspnea with spinal anesthesia.

35 Peripheral and central components of exercise limitation Metabolic changes lactate premature acidosis Afferent stimulation Ventilation dypnoea Casaburi. Principles and practice of pulmonary rehabilitation, 1993.

36 Leg fatigue? Dyspnoea Perturbation in limb muscle energy metabolism with enhanced lactate production may directly stimulate ventilation and as such increased dyspnoea perception. Leg fatigue may increase signalisation through group III/IV afferents. This in turn may increase dyspnoea perception via ventilation-dependant and independent mechanisms.
