Abstract

We investigated the effect of inhaled nitric oxide (NO) at increasing fractional inspired O2 concentrations (FIO2) on hemodynamic and pulmonary function during Escherichia coli pneumonia. Thirty-eight conscious, spontaneously breathing, tracheotomized 2-yr-old beagles had intrabronchial inoculation with either 0.75 or 1.5 x 10(10) colony-forming units/kg of E. coli 0111:B4 (infected) or 0.9% saline (noninfected) in one or four pulmonary lobes. We found that neither the severity nor distribution (lobar vs. diffuse) of bacterial pneumonia altered the effects of NO. However, in infected animals, with increasing FIO2 (0.08, 0.21, 0.50, and 0.85), NO (80 parts/million) progressively increased arterial PO2 [-0.3 +/- 0.6, 3 +/- 1, 13 +/- 4, 10 +/- 9 (mean +/- SE) Torr, respectively] and decreased the mean arterial-alveolar O2 gradient (0.5 +/- 0.3, 4 +/- 2, -8 +/- 7, -10 +/- 9 Torr, respectively). In contrast, in noninfected animals, the effect of NO was significantly different and opposite; NO progressively decreased mean PO2 with increasing FIO2 (2 +/- 1, -5 +/- 3, -2 +/- 3, and -12 +/- 5 Torr, respectively; P < 0.05 compared with infected animals) and increased mean arterial-alveolar O2 gradient (0.3 +/- 0.04, 2 +/- 2, 1 +/- 3, 11 ...Continue Reading
