The purpose of this study was to determine whether consciousness was critical for the expression of neuromechanical inhibition of breathing during mechanica) ventilation. This same mechanical ventilation model also was used to evaluate the relative importance of sleep state in causing CO 2 retention during sleep. Positive pressure ventilation was used to suppress respiratory muscle activity; 002 was then added until a reappearance of inspiratory effort, which defined the recruitment threshold (PCO2RT). Keeping the mechanics of the respiratory system constant through the use of passive mechanical ventilation allowed us to measure the output of the respiratory controller, independent of these parameters. Eight normai subjects were mechanically hyperventilated with a nasal mask during wakefulness and sleep with matched flow rates, frequencies, and tidal volumes. When inspiratory muscle activity was undetectable and end-tidal Pco 2 (PETCO2) fel] below 30 mm Hg, inspired 002 was added in stepped increments until inspiration reoccurred. The sleeping state increased both eupneic PETCO2 (42±4 versus 38±3 mm Hg) and Pc02 RT (48±3 versus 46±2 mm Hg) compared with that during wakefulness. Neuromechanical inhibition of inspiratory muscle activity during mechanical ventilation was present during both wakefulness and sleep, as evidenced by the mean difference between Pe02 RT and eupneic PETCO2 of 8 and 6 mm Hg, respectively. Recruitment thresholds during wakefulness and sleep were compared to evaluate the effect of sleep on respiratory motor output independent of changes in load, ie, respiratory mechanics held constant. Pc0 2 RT was higher during sleep than during wakefulness in every subject, indicating a change in set point associated with the loss of the wakefulness stimulus. The difference in mean eupneic PETCO2 between wakefulness and sleep (4 mm Hg) also was determined to evaluate the effect of sleep on Pco2 when respiratory mechanics were no longer held constant. The difference in mean eupneic PETCO2 (4 mm Hg) was greater than the difference in mean Pc02 RT (2 mm Hg), suggesting that not all the CO2 retention incurred during sleep was due to changes in set point. We conclude that consciousness is not necessary for the expression of neuromechanical inhibition of breathing during mechanical ventilation. Our findings further support the concept that both changes in set point and respiratory load such as an increase in upper airway resistance are important determinants of sleep-induced CO, retention.The importance of the wakefulness state in the processing of nonchemical neural input to the respiratory center is not clear. Consciousness is required for the immediate expression of mechanical receptor feedback during airway loading (1-4), but it is not necessary for the compensatory response to inspiratory muscle shortening (5). A substantial neuromechanical inhibitory effect on inspiratory muscle activity during mechanical ventilation in awake humans hes been shown (6, 7). Respiratory motor output decreased in response to unloading of respiratory muscles during mechanical ventilation. Henke and coworkers (8) demonstrated a partial inhibition of inspiratory muscle activity during sleep with passive isocapnic ventilation, suggesting the presence of
