To characterize the rate and regulation of
alveolar fluid clearance in the uninjured human lung, pulmonary edema
fluid and plasma were sampled within the first 4 h after tracheal
intubation in 65 mechanically ventilated patients with severe
hydrostatic pulmonary edema. Alveolar fluid clearance was calculated
from the change in pulmonary edema fluid protein concentration over time. Overall, 75% of patients had intact alveolar fluid clearance (
3%/h). Maximal alveolar fluid clearance (
14%/h) was present in
38% of patients, with a mean rate of 25 ± 12%/h. Hemodynamic factors (including pulmonary arterial wedge pressure and left ventricular ejection fraction) and plasma epinephrine levels did not
correlate with impaired or intact alveolar fluid clearance. Impaired
alveolar fluid clearance was associated with a lower arterial pH and a
higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II. These factors may be
markers of systemic hypoperfusion, which has been reported to impair
alveolar fluid clearance by oxidant-mediated mechanisms. Finally,
intact alveolar fluid clearance was associated with a greater
improvement in oxygenation at 24 h along with a trend toward shorter
duration of mechanical ventilation and an 18% lower hospital
mortality. In summary, alveolar fluid clearance in humans may be rapid
in the absence of alveolar epithelial injury. Catecholamine-independent
factors are important in the regulation of alveolar fluid clearance in
patients with severe hydrostatic pulmonary edema.
