Effect of tidal volume and PEEP on rate of edema formation in in situ perfused canine lobes

The effects of raising tidal volume and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on rate of edema formation were studied in in situ canine left upper lobe preparations. Edema was induced by increasing blood flow to the left upper lobe (4-8 times normal). In the same animal, at equivalent flows and microvascular hydrostatic pressures, rate of edema formation observed with larger tidal volumes was significantly higher than that observed with smaller tidal volumes (0.73 +/- 0.29 vs. 0.58 +/- 0.30, P less than 0.001). Edema was also induced under static conditions (i.e., flow = 0) over a wide range of vascular pressures. Rate of edema formation was plotted against pressure and the best-fit linear regression was obtained. The slopes (g.min-1.mmHg-1.100 g-1) of the regression lines were significantly higher with larger tidal volumes compared with smaller tidal volumes [0.106 +/- 0.010 (SE) vs. 0.081 +/- 0.009, P less than 0.01]. The pressure intercepts were not different (16.1 +/- 1.6 vs. 15.7 +/- 1.8). When mean airway pressures were increased to levels equivalent to those obtained with larger tidal volumes, but by raising end-expiratory pressures, rate of edema formation dropped to levels below base line. We conclude that increasing the amplitude of cyclic changes in lung volume increases edema formation through mechanisms that are independent of changes in operating (i.e., mean) lung volume.
