The objective of this study was to define the response of extravascular lung water (EVLW) to different levels of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) following a standardized oleic acid injury to the lung. All animals responded to the injection of intravenous oleic acid by the rapid development of hypoxemia. There was a twofold increase in EVLW during the first 3 hours after oleic acid injection which remained stable during the remainder of the experiment, including periods on PEEP. Intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt) increased significantly (P less than 0.001) during the first hour following oleic acid injection. PEEP therapy resulted in an immediate decrease in Qs/Qt and amelioration of the hypoxemia. Return to zero PEEP resulted in a rapid decrease in PaO2 with concomitant increase in Qs/Qt by the end of the experiment. The oxygen transport in the animals did not improve significantly with the addition of PEEP. This was due to the decrease in cardiac output that more than offset the effects of a diminished Qs/Qt with PEEP. This study indicates that the mechanism by which PEEP improves oxygenation does not appear to be mediated by effect on lung water. The study also emphasizes the importance of determining oxygen transport when managing patients on PEEP. |
