ABSTRACT: Chronic sequelae of neonatal hyperoxia was studied in male rats exposed to 0.96-1.0 FiO2 for the first 8 days of life. At 58 days of age functional and morphologic cardiopulmonary changes were compared with controls. Right ventricular systolic pressure was measured percutaneously under anesthesia and was increased in the O2 group (29.5 mm Hg ± 3.1 versus 23.2 mm Hg ± 3.5, p< 0.001). Lung and heart weights were similar between groups. Right ventricular weights however were increased in the O2 group (0.197 g ± 0.023 versus 0.175 g ± 0.020, p< 0.001). Air pressure-volume curves were similar but in the O2 rats saline deflation curves were shifted left and maximal fluid lung volumes were greater (14.1 ± 1.2 versus 12.0 ± 0.7 ml, p<0.001). Pulmonary arteries were perfused at 100 cm H2O with a barium-gel mixture and lungs were fixed at 25 cm H2O with formalin. Microscopic examination of lungs revealed dysplastic changes of alveolar architecture which included irregularly enlarged alveoli and incomplete alveolar septation. Morphometric studies of the lungs showed that the O2 rats had an increased volume proportion of parenchyma (0.865 ± 0.020 versus 0.850 ± 0.019, p<0.05), increased mean linear intercept (72.3 urn ± 9.5 versus 53.6/tin ± 5.0, p<0.001), decreased number of alveoli per mm2 (207 ± 34 versus 319 ± 39, p<0.001) and fewer small arteries (20-200 nm) per mm2 (8.7 ±1.3 versus 14.9 ± 2.4, p<0.001). The number of small arteries/100 alveoli was similar. We conclude that limited and specifically timed neonatal hyperoxia is associated with chronic morphologic and functional cardiopulmonary changes in the adult rat. These changes include a decrease in the number of small pulmonary arteries, elevated right ventricular pressure, and emphysema-like changes in the air spaces.
