Infusion of Escherichia coli endotoxin (0.12-1.5 micrograms/kg) into unanesthetized sheep causes transient pulmonary hypertension and several hours of increased lung vascular permeability, after which sheep recover. To produce enough lung injury to result in pulmonary edema with respiratory failure, we infused larger doses of E. coli endotoxin (2.0-5.0 micrograms/kg) into 11 chronically instrumented unanesthetized sheep and continuously measured pulmonary arterial, left atrial and aortic pressures, dynamic lung compliance, lung resistance, and lung lymph flow. We intermittently measured arterial blood gas tensions and pH, made interval chest radiographs, and calculated postmortem extravascular bloodless lung water-to-dry lung weight ratio (EVLW/DLW). Of 11 sheep 8 developed respiratory failure; 7 died spontaneously 6.3 +/- 1.1 h, and one was killed 10 h after endotoxin infusion. All sheep that had a premortem room air alveolar-arterial gradient in partial pressure of O2 (PAo2-Pao2) greater than 42 Torr (58 +/- 5 (SE) Torr) died. Of eight sheep that had radiographs made, six developed radiographically evident interstitial or interstitial and alveolar edema. Pulmonary artery pressure rose from base line 22 +/- 2 to 73 +/- 3 cmH2O and remained elevated above baseline levels until death. There was an initial fourfold decrease in dynamic compliance and sixfold increase in pulmonary resistance; both variables remained abnormal until death. EVLW/DLW increased with increasing survival time after endotoxin infusion, suggesting that pulmonary edema accumulated at the same rate in all fatally injured sheep, regardless of other variables. The best predictor of death was a high PAo2-Pao2. The marked increase in pulmonary resistance and decrease in dynamic compliance occurred too early after endotoxin infusion (15-30 min) to be due to pulmonary edema. The response to high-dose endotoxin in sheep closely resembles acute respiratory failure in humans following gram-negative septicemia. Respiratory failure and death in this model were not due to pulmonary edema alone.
