Alveolar and lung liquid clearance were studied over 8 h in intact anesthetized ventilated rabbits by instillation of either isosmolar Ringer lactate (2 ml/kg) or autologous plasma (2 or 3 ml/kg) into one lower lobe. The half time for lung liquid clearance of the isosmolar Ringer lactate was 3.3 h and that for plasma clearance was 6 h. In the plasma experiments, the alveolar protein concentration after 1 h was 5.2 +/- 0.8 g/dl, which was significantly greater than the initial instilled protein concentration of 4.3 +/- 0.7 g/dl (P less than 0.05). Thus alveolar protein concentration increased by 21 +/- 12% over 1 h, which matched clearance from the entire lung of 19 +/- 11% of the instilled volume. Overall the rate of alveolar and lung liquid clearance in rabbits was significantly faster than in prior studies in dogs and sheep. The fast alveolar liquid clearance rate in rabbits was not due to higher endogenous catecholamine release, because intravenous and alveolar (5 x 10(-5) M) propranolol did not slow the clearance. Also, beta-adrenergic therapy with alveolar terbutaline (10(-5) or 10(-4) M) did not increase the alveolar or lung liquid clearance rates. Phloridzin (10(-3) M) did not slow alveolar liquid clearance. However, amiloride (10(-4) M) inhibited 75% of the basal alveolar liquid clearance in rabbits, thus providing evidence that alveolar liquid clearance in rabbits depends primarily on sodium-dependent transport. This rabbit study provides further evidence for important species differences in the basal rates of alveolar liquid and solute clearance as well as the response to beta-adrenergic agonists and ion transport inhibitors.
