Effects of positive end-expiratory pressure on gas exchange in dogs with normal and edematous lungs

Abstract

The effects of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) at 5, 10, 15, and 20 cm H2O on the distribution of ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) ratios was determined in four normal dogs and in ten with oleic acid-induced acute hemorrhagic pulmonary edema. Tidal volume and frequency were held constant at all times with mechanical ventilation during intravenous pentobarbital and gallamine anesthesia. Normal dogs had little or no shunt, and no areas of low (less than 0.1) or high VA/Q (greater than 10.0) at zero end-expiratory pressure (intermittent positive-pressure breathing). In these animals increasing PEEP caused progressive depression of cardiac output, associated with an increase in ventilation to both high VA/Q and unperfused regions. PEEP greater than or equal to 10 cm H2O resulted in a reduction in Pao2 and an increase in PaCO2. In dogs with pulmonary edema, PEEP's of 5 and 10 cm H2O resulted in dramatic reductions in shunt, virtual obliteration of low VA/Q regions, and market improvement in Pao2. However, at 15 and 20 cm H2O PEEP's high VA/Q and dead space ventilation with CO2 retention again developed in all but the most severely affected (shunt greater than 40%) dogs.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
