The effects of endotoxin on white blood cell (WBC) counts, hemodynamics, and lung fluid and solute exchange were studied in 26 unanesthetized sheep. Seven sheep also received the same dose ofEscherichia coliendotoxin in the presence of meclofenamate (5 mg/kg bolus plus 3 mg/kg/h). Endotoxemia caused an initial increase in pulmonary artery pressure (Ppa from 18 ± 1 SEM to 59 ± 7 cm H2O). At 4 h after endotoxemia, lymph protein clearance (Clp = lymph flow times lymph/plasma protein concentration) had increased to 255.6% ± 28 SEM of the pre-endotoxin control values and the alveolar to arterial oxygen differences (ΔAaPO2) had increased from 12 ± 4 to 38 ± 3 mmHg. The WBC counts dropped dramatically early in the endotoxin reaction (WBC counts = 29% ± 6 SEM of baseline at 1 h after endotoxin), but the WBC counts did not correlate with the severity of the early pulmonary hypertension. The WBC counts rose more rapidly in some animals than in others, so that at 4 h after endotoxin WBC counts ranged between 1,111 and 12,134 cells/mm3. At this time, both Clp (r = 0.53, p < 0.01) and ΔAaPO2(r = 0.83, p < 0.01) correlated with the WBC counts. Meclofenamate markedly attenuated the early pulmonary hypertension, but it had no effect on the leukopenia caused by endotoxemia. We conclude that pulmonary leukostasis does not contribute to the early pulmonary hypertension after endotoxemia but that leukocytes may be involved in the late increase in lung vascular permeability and hypoxemia.
