Description
Summary:The contribution of aeration heterogeneity to lung injury during early mechanical ventilation of uninjured lungs is unknown. To test the hypotheses that a strategy consistent with clinical practice does not protect from worsening in lung strains during the first 24 hours of ventilation of initially normal lungs exposed to mild systemic endotoxemia in supine versus prone position, and that local neutrophilic inflammation is associated with local strain and blood volume at global strains below a proposed injurious threshold. Voxel-level aeration and tidal strain were assessed by computed tomography in sheep ventilated with low Vt and positive end-expiratory pressure while receiving intravenous endotoxin. Regional inflammation and blood volume were estimated from 2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-d-glucose ( F-FDG) positron emission tomography. Spatial heterogeneity of aeration and strain increased only in supine lungs (P 70%) than in normally aerated regions (P
