Synthetic surfactants allow examination of the effects of specific components of natural surfactant. To determine whether surfactant containing apoprotein C, dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, and palmitic acid restores gas-exchanging function in acute lung injury (ALI), we administered such surfactant (in doses of 50 or 100 mg/kg and in volumes from 1 to 6 ml/kg) or phospholipid (PL) alone, by intratracheal instillation, to pigs with ALI induced by massive saline lavage. Animals ventilated with 100% O2 and receiving 1, 2, 4, or 6 ml/kg of 50 mg/kg recombinant surfactant apoprotein C (rSP-C) surfactant or 2 ml/kg of 50 mg/kg PL (control) had mean arterial PO2 values, 4 h after treatment, of 230, 332, 130, 142, or 86 Torr, respectively. Animals receiving 1, 2, or 4 ml/kg of 100 mg/kg rSP-C surfactant or 2 ml/kg of 100 mg/kg PL (control) had mean arterial PO2 values of 197, 214, 148, or 88 Torr, respectively. Surfactant PL distribution was homogeneous. Hyaline membrane formation was reduced in treated animals. Thus, in this model of ALI, rSP-C with PL has the capacity to improve gas exchange and possibly modify lung injury.
