Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure on the sound filtering characteristics of injured lungs. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective experimental study in the animal laboratory in an academic medical center. PATIENTS AND PARTICIPANTS: Six 35- to 45-kg anesthetized, intubated pigs. INTERVENTIONS: Acute lung injury with intravenous oleic acid. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: We injected a multifrequency broad-band sound signal into the airway while recording transmitted sound at three locations bilaterally on the chest wall. Oleic acid injections effected a severe pulmonary edema predominantly in the dependent lung regions, with an average increase in venous admixture from 16+/-14% to 57+/-13% and a reduction in static respiratory system compliance from 31+/-6 to 16+/-3 ml/cm H(2)O. A significant concomitant increase in sound transfer function amplitude was seen in the dependent and lateral lung regions; little change occurred in the nondependent areas. The application of PEEP resulted in a decrease in venous admixture, increase in respiratory system compliance, and return of the sound transmission to preinjury levels. CONCLUSIONS: Acute lung injury causes regional acoustic transmission abnormalities that are reversed during alveolar recruitment with PEEP.
