We measured the mechanical properties of the respiratory system of C57BL/6 mice using the optimal ventilation waveform method in closed- and open-chest conditions at different positive end-expiratory pressures. The tissue damping (G), tissue elastance (H), airway resistance (Raw), and hysteresivity were obtained by fitting the impedance data to three different models: a constant-phase model by Hantos et al. (Hantos Z, Daroczy B, Suki B, Nagy S, Fredberg JJ. J Appl Physiol 72: 168-178, 1992), a heterogeneous Raw model by Suki et al. (Suki B, Yuan H, Zhang Q, Lutchen KR. J Appl Physiol 82: 1349-1359, 1997), and a heterogeneous H model by Ito et al. (Ito S, Ingenito EP, Arold SP, Parameswaran H, Tgavalekos NT, Lutchen KR, Suki B. J Appl Physiol 97: 204-212, 2004). Both in the closed- and open-chest conditions, G and hysteresivity were the lowest and Raw the highest in the heterogeneous Raw model, and G and H were the largest in the heterogeneous H model. Values of G, Raw, and hysteresivity were significantly higher in the closed-chest than in the open-chest condition. However, H was not affected by the conditions. When the tidal volume of the optimal ventilation waveform was decreased from 8 to 4 ml/kg in the closed-chest condition, G and hysteresivity significantly increased, but there were smaller changes in H or Raw. In summary, values of the obtained mechanical properties varied among these models, primarily due to heterogeneity. Moreover, the mechanical parameters were significantly affected by the chest wall and tidal volume in mice. Contribution of the chest wall and heterogeneity to the mechanical properties should be carefully considered in physiological studies in which partitioning of airway and tissue properties are attempted.
