Peripheral antitussives affect temporal features of tracheobronchial coughing in cats

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In a study on anesthetized cats, peripherally acting antitussives 3-aminopropylphosphinic acid (3APPi) and levodropropizine (Levo) significantly reduced cough number and expiratory efforts, with Levo also reducing inspiratory efforts. Both antitussives altered the cough motor pattern, extending various cough phases. 3APPi shortened diaphragm-abdominal activity overlap, whereas Levo decreased the respiratory rate. These changes contrast with those induced by centrally acting antitussives.
