The responses of canine tracheal ciliary beat frequency (CBFt) to total lung, tracheal lumen, and peripheral lung hyperoxia, to tracheal lumen anoxia with or without peripheral lung hypoxia, and to isolated tracheal lumen hyperoxia combined with a beta-antagonist were delineated in anesthetized beagle dogs. CBFt was measured using a heterodyne laser light-scattering technique. When oxygen mixtures were delivered to the whole lung, a dose-dependent increase in maximal CBFt was observed from 6.3 +/- 1.0 Hz on air to 13.8 +/- 1.2 Hz on 100% oxygen. When oxygen mixtures were delivered to the isolated tracheal lumen, a dose-dependent increase in maximal CBFt from 6.9 +/- 1.3 Hz on air to 25.7 +/- 6.3 Hz on 100% oxygen was observed. CBFt was unchanged under conditions of peripheral lung hyperoxia. There were no significant changes from room air baseline CBFt of 7.6 +/- 1.5 Hz due to either isolated tracheal anoxia alone or in combination with alveolar hypoxia. CBFt stimulated with 100% oxygen insuffiated to the isolated tracheal lumen decreased from 14.1 +/- 3.2 to 9.5 +/- 1.9 Hz and from 16.5 +/- 1.2 to 9.7 +/- 1.2 Hz in response to 6 and 18 micrograms/kg of intravenous esmolol, respectively. This study demonstrates that short-term, local hyperoxia stimulates CBFt and that a pulmonary or systemically derived factor can be activated to inhibit this stimulation. It indicates that acute airway anoxia and alveolar and blood hypoxia do not suppress ciliary beat frequency. It also suggests that the adrenergic system is involved in the oxygen-induced stimulation of ciliary beat.
