Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The hydraulic pressure in the extrapleural parietal interstitium (Pepl) and in the pleural space over the costal side (Pliq) was measured in anesthetized spontaneously breathing supine adult mammals of increasing size (rats, dogs, and sheep) using saline-filled catheters and cannulas, respectively. From the Pliq and Pepl vs. lung height regressions it appears that in all species Pliq was significantly more subatmospheric than Pepl simultaneously measured at the same lung height. The vertical pleural liquid pressure gradient increased with size, amounting to -1, -0.69, and -0.44 cmH2O/cm in rats, dogs, and sheep, respectively. The vertical extrapleural liquid pressure gradient also increased with size, being -0.6, -0.52, and -0.33 cmH2O/cm in rats, dogs, and sheep, respectively. With increasing body size, the transpleural hydraulic pressure gradient (Ptp = Pepl - Pliq) at the level of the right atrium increased from 1.45 to 5.6 cmH2O going from rats to sheep. In all species Ptp increased, with lung height being greatest in the less dependent part of the pleural space. |
