BACKGROUND: ARDS is characterized by decreased functional residual capacity (FRC), heterogeneous lung injury, and severe hypoxemia. Tidal ventilation is preferentially distributed to ventilated alveoli. Aerosolized prostaglandin I-2 exploits this pathophysiology by inducing local vasodilation, thereby increasing ventilation-perfusion matching and reducing hypoxemia. Therefore, aerosolized prostaglandin I-2 efficacy may depend upon FRC. Both P-aO2/F-IO2 and compliance of the respiratory system (C-RS) are indirect signifiers of FRC and thus may partly determine the response to aerosolized prostaglandin I-2. METHODS: We reviewed the records of 208 ARDS subjects who received aerosolized prostaglandin I-2 and had arterial blood gases done before and after the initiation of therapy, without other ventilator manipulations. Subjects were grouped according to baseline P-aO2/F-IO2 (lowest: < 60, intermediate: 60-90, highest: > 90 mm Hg) and C-RS (< 20, 20-29, 30-39, and >= 40 mL/cm H2O) and by other factors, such as sepsis. Comparisons were analyzed by paired t tests, or Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn post-tests. Multivariate logistic regression modeling was done to determine which of 18 clinically relevant factors were most predictive for responding to aerosolized prostaglandin I-2. alpha was set at .05. RESULTS: Mean P-aO2/F-IO2 increased by 33 mm Hg (42%) upon initiation of prostaglandin I-2, with a responder rate of 62%. P-aO2/F-IO2 increased significantly in all oxygenation groups. The highest baseline P-aO2/F-IO2 group had the greatest improvement and responder rate (51 +/- 63 mm Hg, and 82%). In addition, those with sepsis had a smaller improvement in P-aO2/F-IO2 compared with those without sepsis (18 +/- 35 vs 40 +/- 55 mm Hg, P = .002). Both P-aO2/F-IO2 and responder rate increased as C-RS improved, but between-group improvements were not as consistent. In the final model, the only factors that predicted a positive response to aerosolized prostaglandin I-2 were baseline P-aO2/F-IO2 (odds ratio 1.10 [1.004-1.205], P = .042) and C-RS (odds ratio 1.04 [1.01-1.08], P = .02). CONCLUSIONS: Aerosolized prostaglandin I-2 improves oxygenation in approximately 60% of ARDS cases. A favorable response was most strongly associated with baseline P-aO2/F-IO2 and C-RS.
