OBJECTIVE: Development of a stable model of respiratory distress in pigs with oleic acid, fulfilling clinical criteria of the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). DESIGN: Eight pigs (9.1 +/- 0.7 kg) were anesthetized with pentobarbital, paralyzed with tubocurarine and mechanically ventilated with an FIO2 of 0.6, an I:E ratio of 2:3 and a PEEP of 0.2 kPa. Oleic acid (dissolved 1:1 in 96% alcohol) was administered in a series of multiple injections of 0.1 ml until PaO2 was lower than 8 kPa. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Careful titration of the oleic acid injections on guidance of the PaO2 established a reproducible respiratory distress (PaO2 = 7.3 +/- 0.8 kPa), in which gas exchange and hemodynamic variables were stable for at least 4 h. The number of oleic acid injections (22 +/- 11, mean and SD) varied between the animals. CONCLUSIONS: With the use of multiple injections of oleic acid, a stable model of early respiratory distress in pigs can be achieved, in spite of individual differences in sensitivity. Such a stable model allows for a diversity of studies on early respiratory distress.
