Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND METHODS:We aimed to characterize the effects of an endotoxin insult (Escherichia coli 0127:B8) on the relationships between pulmonary vascular pressure and flow in intact dogs. To achieve this goal, multipoint plots of total pressure gradient, arterial pressure gradient, and venous pressure gradient vs. flow were generated by graded inflation of a right atrial balloon, which was used to vary flow. The partitioning of the total pressure decrease across the pulmonary vasculature (total pressure gradient = pulmonary arterial pressure-pulmonary artery occlusion pressure [PAOP]) into gradients across pulmonary arterial (arterial pressure gradient = pulmonary arterial pressure--effective capillary pressure) and pulmonary venous (venous pressure gradient = effective capillary pressure--PAOP) regions was assessed by a waveform mathematical analysis of the pulmonary arterial pressure profile during arterial occlusion, with computation of both PAOP and effective pulmonary capillary pressures. Slopes and extrapolated pressure intercepts from linear regression fits to the pulmonary vascular pressure/flow plots were determined in seven dogs after a 2-hr endotoxic infusion interval and were compared with the corresponding values that characterized a similar group of sham-operated dogs. RESULTS:Under normal conditions, the extrapolated pressure intercept for pulmonary arterial pressure gradient was virtually 0 mm Hg; for total pulmonary arterial pressure gradient and pulmonary venous pressure gradient, the mean extrapolated pressure intercepts were substantially positive: 2.4 +/- 0.2 and 2.1 +/- 0.3 mm Hg, respectively. Endotoxin infusion at 0.25 micrograms/kg/min significantly increased the pressure intercepts from 2.4 to 8.7 and from 2.1 to 8.3 mm Hg of total pressure gradient and venous pressure gradient vs. flow, respectively. This infusion produced a minor, nonsignificant change in the intercept of arterial pressure gradient vs. flow, whereas it increased its slope significantly (p less than .05) from 0.036 to 0.081 mm Hg/mL/min/kg. CONCLUSIONS:These data suggest that endotoxin's effects on vascular resistance are exerted at two different loci such that these effects are additive. These endotoxin-induced effects consisted of increased vascular resistance of the arterial segment and appearance of a Starling resistor at the venous side of the pulmonary circulation, which acted as the relevant back-pressure to flow.
