Undernutrition thwarts lung structure and function, but there are disagreements about the behavior of lung mechanics in malnourished animals. To clarify this issue, lung and chest wall mechanical properties were subdivided into their resistive, elastic, and viscoelastic properties in nutritionally deprived (ND) rats and correlated with the data gathered from histology (light and electron microscopy and elastic fiber content), and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid analysis (lipid and protein content). Twenty-four Wistar rats were assigned into two groups. In the control (Ctrl) group the animals received food ad libitum. In the ND group, rats received one-third of their usual daily food consumption until they lost 40% of their initial body weight. Lung static elastance, viscoelastic and resistive pressures (normalized by functional residual capacity), and chest wall pressures were higher in the ND group than in the Ctrl group. The ND group exhibited patchy atelectasis, areas of emphysema, interstitial edema, and reduced elastic fiber content. The amount of lipid and protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was significantly reduced in the ND group. Electron microscopy showed 1) type II pneumocytes with a reduction in lamellar body content, multilamellated structures, membrane vesicles, granular debris, and structurally aberrant mitochondria; and 2) diaphragm and intercostals with atrophy, disarrangement of the myofibrils, and deposition of collagen type I fibers. In conclusion, undernutrition led to lung and chest wall mechanical changes that were the result from a balance among the following modifications: 1) distorted structure of diaphragm and intercostals, 2) surfactant content reduction, and 3) decrease in elastic fiber content. 相似文献

Infants with respiratory failure are frequently mechanically ventilated at rates exceeding 60 breaths/min. We analyzed the effect of ventilatory rates of 30, 60, and 90 breaths/min (inspiratory times of 0.6, 0.3, and 0.2 s, respectively) on the pressure-flow relationships of the lungs of anesthetized paralyzed rabbits after saline lavage. Tidal volume and functional residual capacity were maintained constant. We computed effective inspiratory and expiratory resistance and compliance of the lungs by dividing changes in transpulmonary pressure into resistive and elastic components with a multiple linear regression. We found that mean pulmonary resistance was lower at higher ventilatory rates, while pulmonary compliance was independent of ventilatory rate. The transpulmonary pressure developed by the ventilator during inspiration approximated a linear ramp. Gas flow became constant and the pressure-volume relationship linear during the last portion of inspiration. Even at a ventilatory rate of 90 breaths/min, 28-56% of the tidal volume was delivered with a constant inspiratory flow. Our findings are consistent with the model of Bates et al. (J. Appl. Physiol. 58: 1840-1848, 1985), wherein the distribution of gas flow within the lungs depends predominantly on resistive factors while inspiratory flow is increasing, and on elastic factors while inspiratory flow is constant. This dynamic behavior of the surfactant-depleted lungs suggests that, even with very short inspiratory times, distribution of gas flow within the lungs is in large part determined by elastic factors. Unless the inspiratory time is further shortened, gas flow may be directed to areas of increased resistance, resulting in hyperinflation and barotrauma. 相似文献

To investigate the effect of lung volume onchest wall and lung mechanics in the rats, we measured theimpedance (Z) under closed- and open-chest conditions at variouspositive end-expiratory pressures (0-0.9 kPa) by using acomputer-controlled small-animal ventilator (T. F. Schuessler andJ. H. T. Bates. IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng. 42: 860-866, 1995) that we have developed fordetermining accurately the respiratory Z in small animals. The Z oftotal respiratory system and lungs was measured with small-volumeoscillations between 0.25 and 9.125 Hz. The measured Z was fitted to amodel that featured a constant-phase tissue compartment (withdissipation and elastance characterized by constantsG andH, respectively) and a constant airwayresistance (Z. Hantos, B. Daroczy, B. Suki, S. Nagy, and J. J. Fredberg. J. Appl.Physiol. 72: 168-178, 1992). We matched the lungvolume between the closed- and open-chest conditions by using thequasi-static pressure-volume relationship of the lungs to calculate Zas a function of lung volume. Resistance decreased with lung volume andwas not significantly different between total respiratory system andlungs. However, G andH of the respiratory system weresignificantly higher than those of the lungs. We conclude that chestwall in rats has a significant influence on tissue mechanics of thetotal respiratory system. 相似文献

Effect of heterogeneous ventilation and nitric oxide production on exhaled nitric oxide profiles. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Elevated exhaled nitric oxide (NO) in the breath of asthmatic subjects is thought to be a noninvasive marker of lung inflammation. Asthma is also characterized by heterogeneous bronchoconstriction and inflammation, which impact the spatial distribution of ventilation in the lungs. Since exhaled NO arises from both airway and alveolar regions, and its level in exhaled breath depends strongly on flow, spatial heterogeneity in flow patterns and NO production may significantly affect the exhaled NO signal. To investigate the effect of these factors on exhaled NO profiles, we developed a multicompartment mathematical model of NO exchange using a trumpet-shaped central airway segment that bifurcates into two similarly shaped peripheral airway segments, each of which empties into an alveolar compartment. Heterogeneity in flow alone has only a minimal impact on the exhaled NO profile. In contrast, placing 70% of the total airway NO production in the central compartment or the distal poorly ventilated compartment can significantly increase (35%) or decrease (-10%) the plateau concentration, respectively. Reduced ventilation of the peripheral and acinar regions of the lungs with concomitant elevated NO production delays the rise of NO during exhalation, resulting in a positive phase III slope and reduced plateau concentration (-11%). These features compare favorably with experimentally observed profiles in exercise-induced asthma and cannot be simulated with single-path models. We conclude that variability in ventilation and NO production in asthmatic subjects impacts the shape of the exhaled NO profile and thus impacts the physiological interpretation. 相似文献

To determine whetherinitial lung volume optimization influences respiratory mechanics,which could indicate the achievement of optimal volume, we studied 17 premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) assisted byhigh-frequency oscillatory ventilation. The continuous distendingpressure (CDP) was increased stepwise from 6-8 cmH2Oup to optimal CDP (OCDP), i.e., that allowing good oxygenation with thelowest inspired O2 fraction. Respiratory systemcompliance (Crs) and resistance were concomitantlymeasured. Mean OCDP was 16.5 ± 1.2 cmH2O. InspiredO2 fraction could be reduced from an initial level of 0.73 ± 0.17 to 0.33 ± 0.07. However, Crs (0.45 ± 0.14ml · cmH2O1 · kg1at starting CDP point) remained unchanged through lung volume optimization but appeared inversely related to OCDP. Similarly, respiratory system resistance was not affected. We conclude that thereis a marked dissociation between oxygenation improvement and Crsprofile during the initial phase of lung recruitment by earlyhigh-frequency oscillatory ventilation in infants with RDS. Thusoptimal lung volume cannot be defined by serial Crs measurement. At themost, low initial Crs suggests that higher CDP will be needed. 相似文献

To evaluate the role of pulmonary surfactant in the prevention of lung injury caused by mechanical ventilation (MV) at low end-expiratory volumes, lung mechanics and morphometry were assessed in three groups of eight normal, open-chest rabbits ventilated for 3-4 h at zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP) with physiological tidal volumes (Vt = 10 ml/kg). One group was left untreated (group A); the other two received surfactant intratracheally (group B) or aerosolized dioctylsodiumsulfosuccinate (group C) before MV on ZEEP. Relative to initial MV on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP; 2.3 cmH(2)O), quasi-static elastance (Est) and airway (Rint) and viscoelastic resistance (Rvisc) increased on ZEEP in all groups. After restoration of PEEP, only Rint (124%) remained elevated in group A, only Est (36%) was significantly increased in group B, whereas in group C, Est, Rint, and Rvisc were all markedly augmented (274, 253, and 343%). In contrast, prolonged MV on PEEP had no effect on lung mechanics of eight open-chest rabbits (group D). Lung edema developed in group C (wet-to-dry ratio = 7.1), but not in the other groups. Relative to group D, both groups A and C, but not B, showed histological indexes of bronchiolar injury, whereas all groups exhibited an increased number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in alveolar septa, which was significantly greater in group C. In conclusion, administration of exogenous surfactant largely prevents the histological and functional damage of prolonged MV at low lung volumes, whereas surfactant dysfunction worsens the functional alterations, also because of edema formation and, possibly, increased inflammatory response. 相似文献

Dependence of lung injury on inflation rate during low-volume ventilation in normal open-chest rabbits. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Lung mechanics and morphometry were assessed in two groups of nine normal open-chest rabbits mechanically ventilated (MV) for 3-4 h at zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP) with physiological tidal volumes (Vt; 11 ml/kg) and high (group A) or low (group B) inflation flow (44 and 6.1 ml x kg(-1) x s(-1), respectively). Relative to initial MV on positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP; 2.3 cmH(2)O), MV on ZEEP increased quasi-static elastance and airway and viscoelastic resistance more in group A (+251, +393, and +225%, respectively) than in group B (+180, +247, and +183%, respectively), with no change in viscoelastic time constant. After restoration of PEEP, quasi-static elastance and viscoelastic resistance returned to control, whereas airway resistance, still relative to initial values, remained elevated more in group A (+86%) than in group B (+33%). In contrast, prolonged high-flow MV on PEEP had no effect on lung mechanics of seven open-chest rabbits (group C). Gas exchange on PEEP was equally preserved in all groups, and the lung wet-to-dry ratios were normal. Relative to group C, both groups A and B had an increased percentage of abnormal alveolar-bronchiolar attachments and number of polymorphonuclear leukocytes in alveolar septa, the latter being significantly larger in group A than in group B. Thus prolonged MV on ZEEP with cyclic opening-closing of peripheral airways causes alveolar-bronchiolar uncoupling and parenchymal inflammation with concurrent, persistent increase in airway resistance, which are worsened by high-inflation flow. 相似文献

Effects of tidal volume (VT), end-expiratory pressure (EEP), and environmental temperature (Tenv) on elastic recoil force (Pel) and edema formation were examined in open-chest anesthetized rabbits. Sixty-two rabbits in four groups were ventilated for 3 h with VT of either 10 or 25 ml/kg body wt, EEP of 0 or 2 cmH2O, and Tenv of 18 or 35 degrees C. After ventilation, Pel at 80% of total lung capacity (P80) was significantly increased when ventilation was performed with the combination of large VT, 0 EEP, and low Tenv. This change was prevented by altering any one of the three conditions, e.g., small VT, positive EEP, or high Tenv. Similarly, elevation of minimum surface tension and reduction of surface activity index of lavages from excised lungs after ventilation were observed only when increased P80 was noted. Additionally, the increase of P80 was well correlated with increment of wet weight-to-dry weight ratio and degree of perivascular cuffing and alveolar edema formation of excised lungs. These results indicate that elevation of Pel after high tidal ventilation in open-chest animals in vivo was influenced by level of EEP and Tenv and that the degree of edema formation was closely related to the increase of Pel. The increased Pel is presumably primary and causes fluid accumulation. 相似文献

Excessive mechanical ventilation results in changes in lung tissue mechanics. We hypothesized that changes in tissue properties might be related to changes in the extracellular matrix component proteoglycans (PGs). The effect of different ventilation regimens on lung tissue mechanics and PGs was examined in an in vivo rat model. Animals were anesthetized, tracheostomized, and ventilated at a tidal volume of 8 (VT(8)), 20, or 30 (VT(30)) ml/kg, positive end-expiratory pressure of 0 (PEEP(0)) or 1.5 (PEEP(1.5)) cmH(2)O, and frequency of 1.5 Hz for 2 h. The constant-phase model was used to derive airway resistance, tissue elastance, and tissue damping. After physiological measurements, one lung was frozen for immunohistochemistry and the other was reserved for PG extraction and Western blotting. After 2 h of mechanical ventilation, tissue elastance and damping were significantly increased in rats ventilated at VT(30)PEEP(0) compared with control rats (ventilated at VT(8)PEEP(1.5)). Versican, basement membrane heparan sulfate PG, and biglycan were all increased in rat lungs ventilated at VT(30)PEEP(0) compared with control rats. At VT(30)PEEP(0), heparan sulfate PG and versican staining became prominent in the alveolar wall and airspace; biglycan was mostly localized in the airway wall. These data demonstrate that alterations in lung tissue mechanics with excessive mechanical ventilation are accompanied by changes in all classes of extracellular matrix PG. 相似文献

Heterogeneous, small-airway diameters and alveolar derecruitment in poorly aerated regions of normal lungs could produce ventilation heterogeneity at those anatomic levels. We modeled the washout kinetics of (13)NN with positron emission tomography to examine how specific ventilation (sV) heterogeneity at different length scales is influenced by lung aeration. Three groups of anesthetized, supine sheep were studied: high tidal volume (Vt; 18.4 ± 4.2 ml/kg) and zero end-expiratory pressure (ZEEP) (n = 6); low Vt (9.2 ± 1.0 ml/kg) and ZEEP (n = 6); and low Vt (8.2 ± 0.2 ml/kg) and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP; 19 ± 1 cmH(2)O) (n = 4). We quantified fractional gas content with transmission scans, and sV with emission scans of infused (13)NN-saline. Voxel (13)NN-washout curves were fit with one- or two-compartment models to estimate sV. Total heterogeneity, measured as SD[log(10)(sV)], was divided into length-scale ranges by measuring changes in variance of log(10)(sV), resulting from progressive filtering of sV images. High-Vt ZEEP showed higher sV heterogeneity at <12- (P < 0.01), 12- to 36- (P < 0.01), and 36- to 60-mm (P < 0.05) length scales compared with low-Vt PEEP, with low-Vt ZEEP in between. Increased heterogeneity was associated with the emergence of low sV units in poorly aerated regions, with a high correlation (r = 0.95, P < 0.001) between total heterogeneity and the fraction of lung with slow washout. Regional mean fractional gas content was inversely correlated with regional sV heterogeneity at <12- (r = -0.67), 12- to 36- (r = -0.74), and >36-mm (r = -0.72) length scales (P < 0.001). We conclude that sV heterogeneity at length scales <60 mm increases in poorly aerated regions of mechanically ventilated normal lungs, likely due to heterogeneous small-airway narrowing and alveolar derecruitment. PEEP reduces sV heterogeneity by maintaining lung expansion and airway patency at those small length scales. 相似文献

Ventilation (V) increases lung lymph flow (Ql), but the separate effects of tidal volume (Vt) and frequency (f) and the role of V-induced changes in edema formation are poorly understood. An isolated, in situ sheep lung preparation was used to examine these effects. In eight sheep with f = 10 min(-1), results obtained during 30-min periods with Vt = 5 or 20 ml/kg were compared with values obtained during bracketed 30-min control periods (Vt = 12.5 ml/kg). Eight other sheep with constant Vt (12.5 ml/kg) were studied at f = 5 or 20 min(-1) and compared with f = 10 min(-1). Three additional groups of six sheep were perfused for 100 min with control V (10 ml/kg, 10 min(-1)). Vt was then kept constant or changed to 20 or 3 ml/kg during a second 100-min period. Increases in Vt or f increased Ql and vice versa, without corresponding effects on the rate of edema formation. For the same change in V, changing Vt had a greater effect on Ql than changing f. The change in Ql caused by an increase in Vt was significantly greater after the accumulation of interstitial edema. The change in Ql caused by a sustained increase in Vt was transient and did not correlate with the rate of edema formation, suggesting that V altered Ql through direct mechanical effects on edema-filled compartments and lymphatic vessels rather than through V-induced changes in fluid filtration. 相似文献

Low-frequency respiratory system resistance in the normal dog during mechanical ventilation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The low-frequency resistances of the respiratory system, lung, and chest wall were investigated in four anesthetized paralyzed dogs mechanically ventilated at various frequencies between 0.08 and 0.83 Hz. The resistances were calculated by three different methods: 1) as the real part of the complex impedance obtained from regular ventilation data, 2) as the effective resistance of a two-compartment model fitted to the same data, and 3) as the resistance of a single-compartment model fitted to data obtained during sinusoidal ventilation at various frequencies. Alveolar pressures were measured by a closed-chest alveolar capsule technique and afforded a direct measure of airways resistance. All three resistance estimates were very similar and decreased markedly with frequency between 0 and 1 Hz. The real part of lung impedance at the higher frequencies investigated (around 5 Hz) closely approximated airways resistance, as predicted by the eight-parameter viscoelastic model of respiratory mechanics proposed by Bates et al. (J. Appl. Physiol. 67:2276-2285, 1989). 相似文献

Background
Ventilation using low tidal volumes with permission of hypercapnia is recommended to protect the lung in acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, the most lung protective tidal volume in association with hypercapnia is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of different tidal volumes with associated hypercapnia on lung injury and gas exchange in a model for acute respiratory distress syndrome.Methodology/Principal Findings
In this randomized controlled experiment sixty-four surfactant-depleted rabbits were exposed to 6 hours of mechanical ventilation with the following targets: Group 1: tidal volume = 8–10 ml/kg/PaCO2 = 40 mm Hg; Group 2: tidal volume = 4–5 ml/kg/PaCO2 = 80 mm Hg; Group 3: tidal volume = 3–4 ml/kg/PaCO2 = 120 mm Hg; Group 4: tidal volume = 2–3 ml/kg/PaCO2 = 160 mm Hg. Decreased wet-dry weight ratios of the lungs, lower histological lung injury scores and higher PaO2 were found in all low tidal volume/hypercapnia groups (group 2, 3, 4) as compared to the group with conventional tidal volume/normocapnia (group 1). The reduction of the tidal volume below 4–5 ml/kg did not enhance lung protection. However, oxygenation and lung protection were maintained at extremely low tidal volumes in association with very severe hypercapnia and no adverse hemodynamic effects were observed with this strategy.Conclusion
Ventilation with low tidal volumes and associated hypercapnia was lung protective. A tidal volume below 4–5 ml/kg/PaCO2 80 mm Hg with concomitant more severe hypercapnic acidosis did not increase lung protection in this surfactant deficiency model. However, even at extremely low tidal volumes in association with severe hypercapnia lung protection and oxygenation were maintained. 相似文献19.

This study was designed to determine the responses of lung volume and respiratory resistance (Rrs) to decreasing levels of continuous negative airway pressure (CNAP). Twenty normal subjects were studied in the basal state and under CNAP levels of -5, -10, and -15 hPa. Rrs was measured by the forced oscillation technique (4-32 Hz). End-expiratory lung volume (EELV) and tidal volume (VT) were measured by whole body plethysmography. Rrs was extrapolated to 0 Hz (R(0)) and estimated at 16 Hz (R(16)) by linear regression analysis of Rrs vs. frequency. Specific Rrs, SR(0) and SR(16), were then calculated as R(0) (EELV + VT/2) and R(16) (EELV + VT/2), respectively. EELV significantly decreased, whereas R(0), R(16), SR(0), and SR(16) significantly increased, as the CNAP level decreased (P < 0.0001 for all). At the lowest CNAP level, R(0) and R(16) reached 198 +/- 13 and 175 +/- 9% of their respective basal values. The CNAP-induced increase in R(0) was significantly higher than that in R(16) (P < 0.004). Our results demonstrate that the CNAP-induced increase in Rrs does not result from a direct lung volume effect only and strongly suggest the involvement of other factors affecting both intrathoracic and extrathoracic airway caliber. 相似文献
