Changes in Airway Resistance Following
Intravenously Administered D-tubocurarine *
Hugh D. Westgate, M.D., M.S.,t J. R. Gordon, M.D.,t
and Frederick H. Van Bergen, M.D., M.S.§
INTRODUCTION
The use of curare in modern clinical medicine began with
the treatment bv \Vest in 1932 1 and Burman in 1939 2 of the
spasms associated with tetanus and neuromuscular diseases. In
1942 Griffith and Johnson:1 described the use of d-tubocurarine
as an adjuvant to general anesthesia. This report was followed
by others on what now has become curare's primary medicinal
function-muscle relaxation during anesthesia.
West 4 administered curare to patients
with muscular spasticity and described what
today are considered the secondary effects
of curare administration: bright red cutaneous flush, tachycardia, and systolic hypotension. He also described a case of alleged
laryngospasm and stated that "curarine exerts a spasmodic action on bronchial musculature."·-, In 1936 he exposed guinea pig
lungs and noted that curarine caused the
lungs to blanch and lose their elasticity, and
increased the minimum pressure of distention fourfold. n
Hugh D. Westgate
In the same year he described the effects
of curare administration in these words: "Patient takes short
breaths and becomes cyanotic. He is unable to draw air into his
lungs due to inspiratory obstruction which responds to adrenalin. At autopsy one usually sees massive lung collapse."7
Harvey and Masland" observed mild respiratory difficulty,
mainly on inspiration, in patients who had received 4.5 mg. cu°This report was given at the Staff Meeting of the Univ('rsity of Minnf"sota
Hospitals on June 9, 1961.

rare intravenously over a three-minute period; this respiratory
distress was brief and responded to treatment with epinephrine.
Cole,H in 1946, stated that laryngospasm did not occur in patients given curare for tracheal intubation, but he added that
pronounced difficulty was encountered in ventilating the lungs of
these patients during the five minutes following intubation.
<:yanosis, unimproved by 100 per cent oxygen, was also present
for this period. In the same year, however, Griffith 1 0 reported
only three cases of bronchospasm in 700 instances of anesthesia
involving d-tubocurarine as the relaxing agent.
In 19.52 Landmesser et a1. 11 measured the expiratory tidal
volume of nine patients who had received rapid intravenous injections of 1.5 to 24 mg. d-tubocurarine. The lungs of each of
these patients were ventilated by a respirator set at a constant
delivery pressure and rate. In one patient a decreased expiratory
tidal volume was noted, the decrease being attributed to a
decrease in bronchial diameter due to d-tubocurarine. Using a
radiographic technique on dogs, Kilburn 12 was not able to demonstrate any change in bronchial diameter following the intravenous administration of d-tubocurarine or succinylcholine.
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the effect on airway resistance of d-tubocurarine administered intravenously to
human subjects as an adjuvant to general anesthesia.
METHODS
Twenty-three patients scheduled for elective surgical operations were studied. Weights of the patients varied between 50.8
and 9004 Kg., and their ages ranged from 21 to 75 years. None
of the patients had any history of allergy, and all were free from
clinical or laboratory evidence of cardiopulmonary disease. Data
from patients who showed increased secretions during the study
period were discarded.
Preoperative medication consisted of pentobarbital, 100 to
200 mg. by mouth the night before surgery and 4 mg/Kg body
weight given intramuscularly 90 minutes prior to the induction
of anesthesia. Fifteen minutes before the induction of anesthesia,
atropine sulfate, .01 mg/Kg body weight, was given jntravenously.
A 2..5 per cent solution of thiopental sodium was administered intravenously in 5 m1. increments to a total dose of 4.4
mg/Kg body weight. To facilitate tracheal intubation, a translaryngeal injection of 1..5 m1. of 5 per cent hexylcaine hydrochloride was given. A second dose of thiopental equal to the first

was administered while the patient breathed oxygen via a face
mask. The trachea was intubated, using in all cases the same
No. 8 cuffed portex endotracheal tube. After a closed anesthetic
system was established, the patient's lungs were ventilated with
a Bird Assistor/Controller." The appropriate tidal volume and
respiratory rate were determined from the Radford nomogram,la
and these, along with the peak How rate for each patient, were
kept constant throughout the test period.
Intra-esophageal pressure was measured by means of a catheter and balloon made according to the technique of Mead et
al. 14 The balloon was filled with 1.5 ml. helium, and the open
end of the catheter was attached to a Sanborn differential transducer. t All balloons were individually tested for degree of damping, the maximal response time of the system being 0.02 seconds.
Similarly constructed systems gave a 100 per cent response up to
a frequency of 35 cycles per second when filled with helium.
Airway pressure was measured by the same transducer connected to the oral end of the endotracheal tube by a polyethylene
catheter. A Lilly pneumotachometer, t interposed between the
patient's endotracheal tube and the inspiratory-expiratory valves
of the circle absorption system, measured respiratory How rates.
Respiratory volume was obtained by electrically integrating the
respiratory How rate. Intra-esophageal pressure, airway pressure,
respiratory How rate, and volume were recorded on a four-channel Sanborn polyviso recorder. § Transpulmonary pressure was
detected by a Sanborn differential strain gauge as the difference
between airway pressure and intra-esophageal pressure (Figs.
1 and 2).
These elements were recorded 30 and 3,5 minutes after controlled ventilation had been instituted, when a constant anesthetic state was considered to be in effect. When values for airway
resistance and static lung compliance obtained at the 30 and 35
minute intervals were observed to be statistically similar, d-tubocurarine, 0.44 mg/Kg body weight, was given intravenously in
a Single rapid injection. Recordings then were made every five
minutes for a total of four to six recordings. Thereupon d-tubocurarine, 0.22 mg/Kg was given as before, and two or three
additional recordings were made. All studies were completed
prior to surgical stimulation of the patient.

to more detailed analysis and are listed in Table 2.
It was found that the patients could be divided into four
groups on the basis of severity and duration of changes in airway resistance after administration of d-tubocurarine.

DISCUSSION
Fry,L) Cherniak,16 and Marshall,17 and their respective associates, as well as numerous other workers, have shown that
changes in intrapleural pressure are accurately reflected by
changes in intra-esophageal pressure regardless of patient position. In preliminary work we also demonstrated that the relative
change in esophageal pressure between inspiration and expiration for anyone individual was independent of the patient's

position. Because of these findings and because of the greateJ;
ease in handling supine anesthetized patients, all patients were
in the supine position when studied.

Airway pressure is the pressure acting on the lung and extrapulmonary elements. The esophageal pressure, since it reflects
intrapleural pressure, is that portion of the airway pressure
transmitted through the lung which acts on the chest wall and
diaphragm. Therefore, the pressure acting on the lung itself is
390

THE MEDICAL BULLETIN
the airway pressure minus the esophageal pressure, and the resistance to air flow calculated by means of this differential pressure is taken to equal the resistance of the lung.
In speaking of pulmonary resistance we are considering a
number of components as well as the resistance offered by the
elastic qualities of the lung tissue. Resistance offered in overcoming the inertia of the inspired gas and overcoming the airway opening pressure is one. Resistance due to the viscosity of
the lung tissue (that is, the resistance offered as tissue planes
move on one another as the lung expands) is another. The inhaled gas has a certain resistive component dependent upon the
viscosity of the gas and type of flow. As the flow rate increases,
the viscosity of the gas increases, and thus the resistance will
increase. A change from laminar to turbulent flow will also alter
the resistance, since the resistance of a laminar flow is related to
the viscosity of the gas, whereas the resistance of a turbulent
flow is related to the density of the gas. Excessive secretions in
the tracheobronchial tree will increase airway resistance by
changing surface tension and by physically narrowing the tracheobronchial diameter.
It has been shown that 2.5 per cent of the total lung resistance is due to the above factors. The remaining 75 per cent
arises from the resistance to air flow offered by the tracheobronchial tree.l~ This is the segment that can rapidly be changedeither passively, by collapse of the lung due to pneumothorax,
or actively, by chemical substances such as histamine, acetylcholine, or eqinephrin. Small changes in the diameter of the
bronchioles cause marked alterations in resistance, in accordance with Poiseuille's Law, which relates resistance to the reciprocal of the fourth power of the radius.
Neither nitrous oxide, nor 5 per cent carbon dioxide in oxygen, l~ nor 100 per cent oxygen given for periods up to ten minutesl~ has any effect on airway resistance. Atropine has been
observed by Kilburnl~ to constrict and lengthen bronchioles in
dogs.
Since all the factors affecting lung resistance except the bore
of the tracheobronchial airways were kept constant, and since
pulmonary compliance also remained unchanged, we can conclude that any change in pulmonary resistance following the
administration of d-tubocurarine must have been due to a change
in the tracheobronchial diameter.
The values given in Table 1 for pulmonary resistance l l at
zero minutes are considered greater than the commonly given
values of 1.2 to 3.5 em. of water per liter per second for individ-

uals respmng spontaneously.!!J In an attempt to explain this
disparity, we measured pulmonary resistance in two patients
before and after they were subjected to endotracheal intubation.
Both patients were breathing spontaneously, and in both cases
the pulmonary resistance was doubled following tracheal intubation. The degree of change in resistance caused by the endotracheal tube depends predominantly upon the difference between the diameter of the endotracheal tube and the diameter of
the portion of the airway which it replaces. Since, in all cases,
the endotracheal tube decreased the lumen of the airway, an
increase in airway resistance was to be expected.
After intubation, respiration became passive on the patient's
part and changed from negative pressure breathing to positive
pressure breathing. Air now entering the tracheobronchial tree
must exert sufficient transmural pressure to overcome the elastic
resistance of the lung tissue which is no longer opposed by the
active outward movemen~ of the chest wall and diaphragm. Also
the diameter of the bronchi are narrowest at the onset of positive
pressure inspiration as the lung is in the resting expiratory position. 1!J,20
Although the flow rate was kept constant during the studies
on anyone patient and an attempt was made to keep the actual
flow rate within a physiological range,20 any increase in flow rate
above the patient's normal flow rate would give a higher resistance value than would be expected in patients breathing spontaneously.
One or any combination of these factors could be responsible
for the initial high resistance values seen in the patients studied.
The greatest number of patients fell into Group I, and these
showed a steady small decrease in lung resistance or else a fairly
constant pulmonary resistance value. In this group the administration of d-tubocurarine did not affect the pulmonary resistance
(Fig. 4).
Following ventilatory control all patients gave relatively high
airway resistance values. In most cases this high airway resistance decreased quickly to a constant value, but in some cases
a period of rapid adaptation to positive pressure ventilation was
followed by a prolonged period of a very small but constant
decrease in the airway resistance. The time referred to as 0
minutes in Tables 1 and 2 (i.e., 30 minutes after ventilatory control had been established) was the time when the two resistance
values were statistically similar. Those patients in Group I who
showed a steady small decrease in lung resistance might have
still been in this adaptive phase.

THE MEDICAL BULLETIN
D-tubocurarine, through its properties of blocking parasympathetic ganglia, may have blocked the stretch reflex of the vagi,
thereby increasing the diameter of the bronchioles.:n Widdicombe~~·2a showed that these stretch receptors were located in
the bronchioles. Under positive pressure ventilation, intravenous
acetylcholine or histamine caused bronchoconstriction by increasing the frequency of discharge and shortening of the time of onset of discharges from these slowly adapting stretch receptors.~1
The work of Dawes and Comroe~l indicates that the afferent
pathway of this reflex is via the vagus nerves. Guyton~4 has
shown that curare, by blocking impulse transmission over the
vagus nerve through parasympathetic ganglionic blockade, can
obtund this reflex. With the loss of this reflex, passive distention
of the bronchioles would then cause a lowering of resistance by
increasing the total lung volume.~'·
The changes in airway resistance seen in the patients comprising Group II (Fig. .5) can be explained in terms of the three
known actions of curare: neuromuscular blockade, histamine release, and ganglionic blockade. The important observations here
are: first, the sudden rise in rcsistance; second, the small
(though statistically significant) magnitude of the rise; and
third, the rapid return to pre-elevation resistance values.
It is unlikely that ganglionic blockade could be responsible
for a rise in resistance, because such a blockade would have to
involve the sympathetic ganglia, leaving parasympathetic ganglionic transmission intact.~4.~(; No cvidence exists for sympathetic
ganglionic blockade by d-tubocurarine in doses of the magnitude used here. Also parasympathetic ganglia are paralyzed with
much smaller doses, and Guyton has shown that the vagi are
particularly sensitive to this block.~4
This pattern can be attributed to the neuromuscular blocking
effect of curare. The normal peak action of d-tubocurarine occurs
five to ten minutes after administration. Following the injection
of d-tubocurarine the tone of the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm is lost, and the intrapleural pressure (intra-esophageal)
rises from a negative value to very close to zero. The elastic
property of the lung, unopposed by the tone of the diaphragm
and intercostal muscles, tends to collapse it toward the hilum,
narrowing the bronchial tree and perhaps even entirely collapsing scattered terminal segments. This then raises the resistance to airflow until by the adaptive mechanisms already described the previous resistance level is attained.
Because of the prolonged increase in airway resistance and
the magnitude of the reaction of those patients in Group III
393
THE MEDICAL BULLETIN
(Fig. 6), an explanation7 involving the neuromuscular blocking
effect of curare as offered to account for the resistance changes
in group two is not adequate.
No measurement of blood histamine was made on these
patients, but we have shown that d-tubocurarine is capable of
elevating blood histamine under similar test conditions (Table
3). Histamine uptake by end organs related to the tracheobronchial tree is suggested as the cause of this type of reaction.
Bouhays and co-workers 27 have shown that hexamethonium
given to asthmatic patients prior to histamine aerosol inhalation
completely prevents the bronchosconstriction which normally
results. These workers have also shown that epinephrine aerosol
inhalation prior to the histamine aerosol modifies the bronchoconstriction. Atropine has also been reported to diminish the
bronchoconstrictor response. 28 This work adds support to the
proposition that the bronchoconstriction induced by histamine is
mediated through a neurogenic mechanism or reflex. 27 Ganglion
cells are known to exist in the bronchial walls, and like the
stretch receptors, they are approximated to preganglionic vagal
fibres. 2 !l Herxheimer has shown that hexamethonium protected guinea pigs against anaphylactoid- and histamine-induced
shock,30 CurrY:l1 demonstrated the protective effect of hexamethonium on histamine and methacholine action in humans. It
has been suggested that a functional disorder of autonomic
nerve structures in the bronchial walls may be important in the
pathogenesis of bronchial asthma as wel1. 27
We can offer no evidence as to the underlying mechanism of
the reaction. Whether or not any of the previously mentioned
conditions existed in our patients cannot be proved from these
studies. We do know, however, that none of our patients showed
clinical evidence of cardiopulmonary disease and none had any
history of allergy.
Another possible explanation of the reaction is that d-tubocurarine may directly sensitize the end organs in certain individuals. The possibility that the individuals in this group had
latent hypersensitivity to histamine or in effect latent asthma
cannot be excluded. Any degree of bronchial obstruction before
histamine release bv curare-such as edema of the bronchial
endothelium, hypert;ophy of bronchial smooth muscle, and endobronchial mucus-would accentuate the effect of bronchial narrowing by histamine, since resistance is inversely proportional to
the fourth power of the radius.
Patient 22 (Fig. 7) required additional d-tubocurarine at
the fifteen-minute period when she began to inspire spontaneous394

ly. As controlled positive pressure ventilation was re-established,
the resistance returned to the initial level.
The resistance changes seen in patient 23 (Fig. 8) cannot be
completely explained. The rise occurred too late to be due to
histamine release, and its magnitude was much too great to be
produced by neuromuscular blockade of the chest wall and diaphragmatic muscles. A mucus plug or increasing narrowing of
the bronchioles by retained mucus gives a similar picture.
Twenty patients each received a second dose of d-tubocurarine, and it can be seen from Table 1 that the subsequent airway resistance changes were quite varied. Few conclusions can
be drawn as the study time interval following the second dose
of d-tubocurarine was too short to allow any pattern in resistance
changes to develop. Nevertheless, increases in ahway resistance of a magnitude comparable to those seen in Group III
patients were observed (Patient 2). Secondary airway resistance
changes showed no correlation with the primary changes.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The effect on pulmonary airway resistance of a .44 mg/Kg
body weight dose of d-tubocurarine administered as a single
intravenous injection has been evaluated. Twenty-three patients
free of cardiopulmonary disease and having no history of allergy
comprised the study group.
An elevated airway resistance resulted in seven cases. In
four cases the elevation was minimal and was felt to be due to
the passive collapse of bronchioles resulting from the paralysis
of the intercostal and diaphragmatic muscles.
In three cases the elevated airway resistance was believed
to be due to histamine uptake by effector end organs located
in bronchial walls; the histamine release was presumably produced by intravenous d-tubocurarine.
Two patients had airway resistance changes which did not
appear to be directly related to d-tubocurarine administration.
No correlation between age, weight, or total d-tubocurarine
and type or degree of airway resistance change was observed.

MEDICAL FOUNDAnON
RECEIVES LARGE BEQUEST
The Minnesota Medical Foundation has announced receipt
of a be(luest of $215,000 from the estate of the late Arvid
Olson, a North Dakota farmer and merchant who died in 1958.
It was the largest single gift in the 22-year history of the Foundation, an organization of alumni, physicians, corporations, and
citizens providing private support for the University of Minnesota Medical School.
Under the terms of the bequest, the Foundation will use
the funds to finance medical research in heart disease and cancer. Dr. Arnold Lazarow, Foundation president, said a new program is being formulated which
would make the research funds
available primarily to meritorious projects and younger scientists at the Medical School.
"We will attempt to provide assistance for projects and men
who are not vet well known,
and therefore ~nable to readilv
attract research grants from th~
customary sources," he said. The
Foundation's Research Grants
Committee, headed by Dr. John
A. Anderson, is formulating a
new medical research program
to be financed bv annual inARNOLD LAZAROW
come from the be(luest.
Dr. Lazarow called Mr. Olson's bequest "one of the most
significant gifts ever received by the Foundation," enabling
the organization to launch an entirely new support program for
the Medical School. He praised the donor for providing a
"local source" of research funds, and said the Foundation hoped
to interest other donors in investing gifts for medical research
purposes through the Foundation.
Mr. Olson's bequest more than tripled the existing assets
of the Foundation, which was organized in 1939 to attract and
disburse funds for private support of the Medical School.
