Of patients admitted to intensive care, 56% possess or will acquire acute respiratory failure (ARF) with slightly less than onethird of these patients progress to the most severe form of respiratory failure known as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [1]. Effective methods of oxygen delivery are essential to improve outcomes in ARF and ARDS; however, with currently available medical treatments the mortality rate in these cases has been reported at 32–75% [1]. Therefore, research continues to look for more effective and efficient modalities of oxygen delivery to allow time for healing of the impaired lung parenchyma seen in ARDS. Methods of oxygenation which bypass and reduce the strain on damaged lungs have been explored in an effort to promote lung rest and recovery. To date, only extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been approved for medical use. However, inherent to ECMO are several risks—including hemorrhage, thrombosis, and cannula malfunction—which negate its potential benefits for several patient populations, including those at risk for bleeding or who have sustained traumatic brain injury. In addition, ECMO requires bulky equipment, extensive technical training, and is expensive—all of which limit its use outside of the intensive care unit setting. These limitations and risks eliminate ECMO as a viable treatment alternative for many, leaving clinicians with little to offer patients and their families. We have developed a new medical device to provide supplemental oxygenation by delivering phospholipid shelled oxygen microbubbles (OMBs) to the peritoneal cavity. Previously, we have shown that peritoneal membrane oxygenation (PMO) is a treatment method for delivering oxygen during hypoxia and acute lung injury models [2]. We are now exploring PMO therapy for disease models that have greater clinical relevance, such as ARDS. Murine models of ARDS have been well established in the literature and are typically created by intratracheal delivery of the endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) [3]. In this study, we induce ARDS in rats, deliver OMB or control solutions to the peritoneal cavity with an ambulatory infusion device, and evaluate PMO therapy as a treatment compared to control solutions. We believe that PMO treatment has the potential to be a safe and reliable lung bypass therapy for patients with severe respiratory failure who cannot tolerate the significant risk profile inherent to ECMO. As we progress to clinical translation, we expect application of PMO in intensive care units, military combat settings, and space exploration vehicles.
