During a given sleep state respiration changes from periodic to regular and vice-versa. Because such spontaneous changes occur without changes in EEG, electrooculogram (EOG), ECG or body movements, they may be induced by chemical stimuli such as CO2. To test this hypothesis, 12 preterm infants in whom spontaneous changes in respiratory pattern were allowed to occur within the same sleep state and infants in whom such changes were induced by inhalation of 0.3% to 1.2% CO2 were examined. Using a nosepiece and a screen flowmeter the respiratory pattern, .ovrhdot.VE [expiration rate], f [frequency], .ovrhdot.VT [tidal ventilation rate], TI [inspiratory time], TE [expiratory time], Ttot [total time], .ovrhdot.VT/TI, TI/Ttot and PACO2 [arterial CO2 pressure] was measured. In REM [rapid eye movement] sleep spontaneous changes from periodic to regular were associated with increase in .ovrhdot.VE from 0.466 (mean) to 0.530 l/min (P < 0.5) and CO2 induced changes accompanied by an increase in .ovrhdot.VE from 0.416 to 0.571 l/min (P < 0.05). In N[non]-REM sleep .ovrhdot.VE increased from 0.385 to 0.445 l/min (P < 0.05) during CO2 induced changes, and from 0.420 to 0.454 l/min (P < 0.05) during CO2 induced changes. Increased .ovrhdot.VE produced spontaneously or by CO2 administration was associated with decreased .ovrhdot.VT, decreased Ttot, decreased .ovrhdot.VT/TI and slight increase in PAco2. Apparently respiratory pattern changes occurring within the same sleep state are chemically mediated.
