BackgroundAlthough gas exchange during partial liquid ventilation (PLV) depends on perfluorocarbon liquid, the effect of perfluorocarbon dose on the ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) distribution is not known. This study investigated how VA/Q distribution of an acutely injured lung is affected during PLV at increasing perfluorocarbon dose.MethodsIn eight rabbits (3.2+/-0.1 kg), acute lung injury (ALI) was created by repeated saline lavage (arterial oxygen partial pressure/fraction of inspired oxygen, 37+/-11 mm Hg). Three different doses of perfluorodecalin (9 ml/kg= low dose; 13.5 ml/kg= medium dose; 18 ml/kg= functional residual capacity [FRC] dose) were applied in random order during PLV. VA/Q distribution at different doses was evaluated by multiple inert gas elimination technique.ResultsInert gas shunt (63+/-21% at ALI) decreased with increasing perfluorocarbon dose (43+/-21% at low dose, 29+/-10% at medium dose, 11+/-9% at FRC dose; P= 0.022). Compared with ALI (0%), the proportion of low VA/Q units was higher at all tested doses (19+/-10, 25+/-12, and 34+/-18%, respectively; all P< 0.05). Compared with ALI (27+/-14%), the proportion of normal VA/Q units was not increased at low or medium doses but was increased only at the FRC dose (45+/-13%; P= 0.027).ConclusionsWith increasing perfluorocarbon dose during PLV, shunt was reduced from a small dose. The majority shunt units were converted to units showing low VA/Q ratios rather than normal VA/Q ratios. The presence of considerable amount of low VA/Q units across the varying doses of perfluorocarbon suggested that additional measures are necessary during PLV to augment its effect on gas exchange.
