Context - Cough may be triggered by irritation of afferents located in the airway mucosa. Primary role is to expel inhaled foreign matter from the lungs or clear the airways of endogenous mucus. Stimulation of the nasal mucosa provokes defensive responses but not cough. The ‘cough center’ can be tuned by various afferent inputs, suggesting possible interactions at a central level of neural pathways originating from distant anatomical sites. Objective - The present study was designed to determine whether brief mechanical stimulation of the trachea could trigger cough during apnoea elicited by nasal instillation of water. Method - Twelve anesthetized, tracheotomized rabbits were studied. Mechanical stimulation of the trachea was performed und...
