Rebreathing lung tissue volume of sheep with normal and edematous lungs.

To determine the accuracy of measurements of lung tissue volume (Vlt) by rebreathing acetylene in normal and edematous lungs, we compared gravimetric values of total lung weight (Ql) and extravascular lung water (Qwl) with Vlt in anesthetized control sheep (C) and sheep with hydrostatic pulmonary edema (HPE) or oleic acid-induced permeability pulmonary edema (PPE), five animals each. In eight additional sheep we determined that acetylene solubility in blood (0.117 +/- 0.010 ml X 100 ml-1 X Torr-1) differed significantly from that in lung-blood homogenates (0.095 +/- 0.009 ml X 100 ml-1 X Torr-1, P = 0.0017). The latter value was used in all calculations. In C, Vlt was 194% of Qwl and 98% of Ql; in HPE, Vlt was 144% of Qwl and 87% of Ql; and in PPE, Vlt was 112% of Qwl and 77% of Ql. We conclude that when the lungs are normal, Vlt reasonably measures Ql not Qwl. However in both HPE and PPE, Vlt progressively underestimates Ql and cannot differentiate between increased blood volume and increased Qwl.
