Moreover, the reactions that occur during the solution decomposition of NO in oxygenated perfluorochemicals remain unclear. Considering NO as an intermediate and unstable molecule which easily exists in different redox states [8], it could be presumed that toxic compounds are generated when gaseous NO is combined with oxygenated perfluorochemicals in vivo. Prior to a prospective clinical application, these issues must be clarified by further investigations.At present, the mechanism responsible for the cumulative effects of NO in the setting of partial liquid ventilation remain speculative. Due to the high density of perfluorocarbons–twice as high as water, intrapulmonary distribution of the liquid is inhomogeneous and follows the gravitational gradient, preferentially pooling in dependent alveoli. Since significant amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide are dissolved in perfluorocarbons, gas exchange might take place in these liquid-filled alveoli as well. Furthermore, perfluorochemicals have high spreading coefficients and remarkably low surface tensions. In non-dependent, ventilated lung regions, thin layers of the compounds will reduce the surface tension at liquid-gas interfaces and will thereby improve lung mechanics. It has been suggested that the beneficial effects of partial liquid ventilation on gas exchange are partly attributable to the filling and distending of alveoli with a non-compressible fluid, thereby reopening air spaces and preventing them from end-expiratory collapse [9]. In ARDS, this might be especially true in dependent zones of the lung, where the expanded lung
