METHODSGreyhound dogs were anesthetized with intravenous thiopentone(0.4-0.6 g) and heparinized(2000 IU/kg). After exsanguination the left lungs were removed, perfused, and ventilated as described (4). Lungs were placed horizontally in a Lucite box. Volume changes were recorded on a 2-liter bell spirometer and transpulmonary pressure changes with a water manometer. Airway pressure remained at atmospheric; pleural pressure was changed by altering the pressure in the box. Absolute lung volume was not measured. Unless specifically mentioned the same volume history was used for all measurements. The lung was inflated maximally by lowering the pressure in the box to-24 cm Hz0 and then ventilated for 3-4 breaths from 10 to 15 cm Hz0 transpulmonary pressure (Ptp). The lung was next slowly inflated from Ptp 5 to 21 cm Hz0 and transpulmonary pressure and volume changes were recorded as the lung was deflated to a negative Ptp of 6 cm HZO. Expulsion of gas ceased between Ptp-2 and-4 cm HZO. Most of the preparations were perfused with blood at 37 C. Pulmonary arterial and venous pressures were measured with saline manometers, and blood flow by collection of timed samples in a cylinder. Flow was controlled by a roller pump. If perfusion was needed for longer than a few minutes a steady flow of venous blood was taken from a mongrel dog to which the blood leaving the isolated lung was returned.X-ray measurements. In 10 experiments 2-4 ml of contrast medium (oily or aqueous Dionosil) was instilled into the airways through the bronchial cannula. In three other experiments finely particulate lead was introduced into the airways as described by Leopold and Gough (7). After inflation to Ptp 21 cm HZO, the lung was deflated slowly over about 5 min to Ptp-6 cm HZO. Radiographs were taken at Ptp 21, 10, 5, 0, and-6 cm HZO. A nonscreen film and a 0.3-mm focal spot was used. The distance from the X-ray source to the lung was 96 cm, and from the lung to the film was 5-7 cm.
