Objective To investigate nitric oxide inhalational treatment and its possible mechanism for canines with oleic acid-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome.Methods The models of acute respiratory distress syndrome were reproduced by intravenous injection of oleic acid in 20 canines.The model was regarded successful when PaO2IFiO2 is not more than 200mmHg.The ARDS animals were randomly assigned to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) group and nitric oxide (NO)group. Animals in ARDS group received conventional mechanical ventilation,while the inhalation of 20ppm NO was additionally given in NO group for six hours. The parameters of ventilation in the two groups were alike(Fi0250%, Vt4O梸-15m1 ?kg1, PEEP5minHg). Blood gas, hemodynamic parametres,peripherial WBC,pulmonary dynamics were measured or recorded during the experimental period. Pa02/Fi02 and Qs/Qt were calculated at the same time. And pathology, lung water and BAL were assessed by the end of the experiment.Results(l)Blood gas: (DPaO2 and Pa02/Fi02: Pa02 in ARDS group decreased gruadually(P<0.0 1). However,Pa02 in NO group began to increasemarkedly at 0.5h ther NO whalation re<0.05),was higher than tha inWS N from lh to 6h postMS ry<0.0l). The change ofPaOz/FiOz was the same as that of PaO2. guaCO2' PaCO2 began tOincrease at lh in ARDS grouPre<0.05). And PaCO2 in NO grOuP didnO change sighficantiyrp>0.05),bu it began tO be markedly lowerthan that in ARDS grouP frOm 1h post-ARDSre<0.05). @MialpHtoHa)' pHa in ARDS grouP decreased grUaduaily and sighficantlylower from 2h post amS(P<0.05). And PHa in NO grOU wasmarkdly lower comPared to that before NO inhalation and that inWS N frOIn lh post-ARDS,respectively(P<0.0l).(3) Qs/Qtf Qs/Qt in NS N was stable at abou 36%.

NO inhalation also could reduce lung water and protein ,COP and cell counting in BAL. There was no significant effect of NO inhalation on systemic hemodynamics. The study co... |
