Effects of imidazole and indomethacin on fluid balance in isolated sheep lungs

G. A. Patterson, P. Rock, W. A. Mitzner, N. F. Adkinson Jr and J. T. Sylvester

We determined the effects of extracorporeal perfusion with a constant flow (75 ml . min-1 . kg-1) of autologous blood on hemodynamics and fluid balance in sheep lungs isolated in situ. After 5 min, perfusate leukocyte and platelet counts fell by two-thirds. Pulmonary arterial pressure (Ppa) increased to a maximum of 32.0 +/- 3.4 Torr at 30 min and thereafter fell. Lung lymph flow (QL), measured from the superior thoracic duct, and perfusate thromboxane B2 (TXB2) concentrations followed similar time courses but lagged behind Ppa, reaching maxima of 4.1 +/- 1.2 ml/h and 2.22 +/- 0.02 ng/ml at 60 min. Lung weight gain, measured as the opposite of the weight change of the extracorporeal reservoir, and perfusate 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha (6-keto-PGF1 alpha) concentration increased rapidly during the first 60 min and then more gradually. After 210 min, weight gain was 224 +/- 40 g and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha concentration, 4.99 +/- 0.01 ng/ml. The ratio of lymph to plasma oncotic pressure (pi L/pi P) at 30 min was 0.61 +/- 0.06 and did not change significantly. Imidazole (5 mM) reduced the changes in TXB2, Ppa, QL, and weight and platelet count but did not alter 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, pi L/pi P, or leukocyte count. Indomethacin (0.056 mM) reduced TXB2, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, and the early increases in weight, Ppa, and QL but did not alter the time courses of leukocyte or platelet counts. Late in perfusion, however, Ppa and QL were greater than in either untreated or imidazole-treated lungs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
