Influence of pulmonary vascular pressure on bronchial collapsibility of excised dog lungs.

چکیده
The main bronchi of excised dog lobes were obstructed with beads, 5 to 6 cm from their origin so that they did not communicate with the peripheral air spaces. Both pulmonary artery and vein were cannulated and both pulmonary vascular pressures were controlled. With the lobe held at constant transpulmonary pressure, bronchial pressure-volume curves were studied during acute pulmonary vascular engorgement. The bronchial compliance was reduced at higher vascular pressure and the effect of vascular engorgement on the bronchial collapsibility was larger at higher transpulmonary pressure: bronchial compliance at vascular pressure-40 cm H2O at transpulmonary pressure 20, 10, 5, and 0 cm H2O respectively. We concluded that vascular engorgement increased parenchymal radial traction to the bronchi when the bronchi reduced its diameter, although it appeared that vascular engorgement resulted in little change in the lung elastic recoil pressure.

Extra-alveolar vessels and oedema development in excised dog lungs.
The contribution of pulmonary extra-alveolar vessels toward edema development was investigated in isolated dog lungs. In 27 lungs the intraalveolar vessels were shut by alveolar pressure exceeding both arterial and venous pressures. Fluid transudation from extra-alveolar vessels into the interstitial space was estimated both by lung weight gain and serial biopsies examined histologically. Inter...
متن کاملQuantitative evaluation of hemodynamic parameters during acute alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia in the isolated ventilated-perfused rabbit lung
Introduction: Acute respiratory disorders such as obstructive pulmonary diseases and hypoventilation may lead to alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia which their effects on pulmonary vascular beds are controversial. The aim of this study was to establish the isolated perfused lung setup and investigate the effects of alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia on pulmonary vascular resistance. Methods: White ...
متن کاملA comparison of the role of the bronchial arteries in bronchiectasis and in experimental ligation of the pulmonary artery.
The hypertrophy of the bronchial arteries in bronchiectasis has been known to surgeons ever since resection of the lung had been practised for this condition. Histologists have noticed and commented upon the extreme vascularity of the tissue round the bronchiectatic sacs, and have tried to explain this as part of the general inflammatory change. The physiological importance and significance of ...
متن کاملSustained Hypoxic Pulmonary Vasoconstriction in the Isolated Perfused Rat Lung: Effect of α1-adrenergic Receptor Agonist
Background: Alveolar hypoxia induces monophasic pulmonary vasoconstriction in vivo, biphasic vasoconstriction in the isolated pulmonary artery, and controversial responses in the isolated perfused lung. Pulmonary vascular responses to sustained alveolar hypoxia have not been addressed in the isolated perfused rat lung. In this study, we investigated the effect of sustained hypoxic ventilation o...
متن کاملBronchopulmonary arterial shunting without anatomic anastomosis in the dog.
The effects of bronchial arterial administration of vasoactive substances on the pulmonary circulation were studied by a new technique for selective catheterization of a bronchial artery in intact dogs. In most experiments, this technique permitted pressor agents to be distributed mainly to one lung with smaller amounts to the other lung. The intercostal arteries were avoided, and in all but 2...
