Lymph flow from edematous dog lungs.

R E Drake, S J Allen, J P Williams

    Journal of Applied Physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985)
    |June 1, 1987

    Summary

    Elevated left atrial pressure in dogs caused lung edema and increased lymph flow. The resistance of vessels outside the lungs, not within them, limited maximum lymph flow from edematous lungs.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Cardiovascular System
    • Lymphatic System

    Background:

    • Pulmonary edema is a critical condition affecting lung function.
    • Understanding lymphatic system dynamics is crucial for managing fluid balance in the lungs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between left atrial pressure, lung lymph flow rate, and the resistance of the lymphatic system in anesthetized dogs.
    • To determine the factors limiting lymph drainage from edematous lungs.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurement of lung lymph flow rate (QLV) using low-resistance cannulas in anesthetized dogs.
    • Induction of pulmonary edema by increasing left atrial pressure.
    • Calculation of effective resistance and driving pressure of lymphatic vessels at different points.

    Main Results:

    • Increased left atrial pressure led to significant pulmonary edema and a marked increase in QLV.
    • QLV plateaued at higher levels despite continued pressure elevation.
    • The resistance of extrapulmonary lymph vessels was found to be higher than that of lung lymph vessels.

    Conclusions:

    • The resistance of the extrapulmonary lymphatic system significantly limits the maximum lymph flow from edematous lungs.
    • Lymphatic system resistance plays a key role in the pathophysiology of pulmonary edema.
