Criteria for analysis of arterial and venous occlusion

To provide a better understanding of analysis of arterial (AO) and venous occlusion (VO) tracings, using a constant and nonpulsatile perfusion pressure system, we set up an isolated in situ dog lobe preparation perfused with autologous blood. Four signals were recorded: arterial pressure, arterial inflow rate, venous pressure, and venous outflow rate. The four signals were recorded into the memory of a computer. When flow into the lobe was abruptly stopped (AO), flow out of the lung continued unchanged for approximately 150 ms and then decreased slowly to zero. Likewise, when flow out of the lung was abruptly stopped (VO), the flow into the lung continued unchanged for approximately 130 ms and then decreased slowly to zero. A monoexponential curve was fitted to different stretches of data between 0.1 and 5 s postocclusion and extrapolated to the instant of occlusion (defined here as the instant when flow at the site of occlusion becomes zero). The results indicate that 1) the first 150 ms postocclusion should be avoided because of the oscillatory artifacts generated by the occlusion maneuver, 2) use of a long segment of postocclusion data (5 s) tends to underestimate the middle pressure gradient and overestimate the arterial and venous pressure gradients, and 3) the changes in segmental vascular resistance under different experimental conditions were found to be unaffected by the criteria of analysis. Analysis of the postocclusion (AO and VO) tracings was found to be most compatible with the double-occlusion capillary pressure by fitting a stretch of data between 0.2 and 2.5 s postocclusion and extrapolating back to the instant when flow becomes zero at the site of occlusion but no earlier.
