Implication

Provides no clinical guidance; extends foundational mapping of cardiopulmonary efferent innervation in animal models.

Structured PICO

Population

Dogs and cats (seventy-four single and twenty-nine small multifibre nerve strands efferent to the trachea and lungs)

Intervention

Various physiological and pharmacological interventions (injections of adrenaline, inflation of the lungs, tracheal occlusion, stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors, irritation of the larynx, asphyxial stimuli)

Comparator

Baseline/spontaneous activity

Outcome

Action potentials, conduction velocity, and discharge responses to interventionssurrogate

This preclinical study characterizes and classifies parasympathetic and sympathetic efferent nerve fibers to the trachea and lungs in dogs and cats based on their electrophysiological properties and responses to physiological stimuli.
