The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that aspirations induced by unilateral vagotomy destabilise ventilatory pattern during swallowing. The study was carried out on 15 Wistar rats (2-3 months, 290-350g) using whole-body plethysmography and video recordings, before and after unilateral vagotomy. The rats were given water ad libitum via a baby bottle fitted with a nipple. The experiment was continued until rest ventilation and swallowing periods were identified on the video recordings. Following the sectioning of the right vagus nerve, all the rats presented bronchial aspirations and unilateral vocal cord paralysis in the aperture position. After the vagotomy there were no changes at rest of the ventilatory variables compared to healthy controls. In healthy animals during swallowing, we observed a decrease in total ventilatory time (TTOT), a decrease in inspiratory time (TI) (p<0.001), a decrease in expiratory time (TE) (p<0.001), no change in tidal volume (VT) and an increase in mean inspiratory time (VT/TI) (p<0.001) compared to the rest period. Animals with chronic aspiration presented during swallowing an increase in TTOT (p<0.001), TI (p<0.01), and TE (p<0.001), no change in VT and a decrease of VT/TI (p<0.001) and a modification of ventilatory pattern. In conclusion, our results confirmed that swallowing modifies ventilation in healthy animals and that chronic aspiration decreases ventilatory drive and modifies ventilatory pattern during swallowing.
