Ibuprofen reduces ethchlorvynol lung injury: possible role of blood flow distribution.

The role of cyclooxygenase products in acute lung injury was determined by pretreatment of dogs with ibuprofen before injury with intravenous ethchlovynol (ECV). In animals given ECV only, lung injury resulted in extravascular lung water of 18.9 ml/kg after 2 h, which was significantly higher than the 14.8 ml/kg in the group pretreated with ibuprofen. The comparison of gravimetric and indicator-dilution measurements of edema fluid indicates that edema fluid could not be reliably detected after treatment with ibuprofen because of diversion of flow from injured areas. Venous admixture increased from 6% at baseline to 32% 120 min after ECV in the vehicle-pretreated group compared with an increase from 4% at baseline to 7% in the ibuprofen-pretreated group. The regression analysis of the relationship between venous admixture and extravascular lung water indicated that, at any level of edema, venous admixture was significantly less in the group treated with ibuprofen than in the untreated group. Measurement of plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid indicated that ibuprofen inhibited cyclooxygenase activity without affecting lipoxygenase activity. These results suggest that in intact dogs ibuprofen has a protective effect on both pulmonary gas transfer and pulmonary edema formation in ECV-injured lungs, which is consistent with limiting blood flow to injured segments of the lung.
