Increased pulmonary vascular resistance during liquid ventilation

C A Lowe, T H Shaffer

    Undersea Biomedical Research
    |December 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Liquid ventilation significantly increases pulmonary vascular resistance in isolated cat lungs. Further research is needed before considering hyperbaric applications for humans.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Cardiovascular System
    • Respiratory System

    Background:

    • Liquid ventilation is an experimental method of respiratory support.
    • Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) is a critical measure of lung function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of liquid ventilation on pulmonary vascular resistance.
    • To assess the safety and efficacy of liquid ventilation in a preclinical model.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolated cat lung preparation in situ.
    • Perfusion with whole blood at a constant flow rate.
    • Measurement of pulmonary arterial and venous pressures during gas and liquid ventilation.

    Main Results:

    • Liquid ventilation with fluorocarbon (FC-80) increased PVR by 62% compared to gas ventilation.
    • At higher liquid lung volumes, PVR increased by 115% over control values.
    • These increases in PVR were statistically significant (P < 0.05 and P < 0.005).

    Conclusions:

    • Liquid ventilation causes significant alterations in pulmonary circulation.
    • Increased pulmonary vascular resistance during liquid ventilation requires further investigation.
    • Hyperbaric applications of liquid ventilation in humans warrant caution and additional studies.
