Abstract
This study was designed to compare the efficacy and potential protective or injurious effects of tidal liquid ventilation (TLV), liquid-assisted high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (LA-HFOV), and high PEEP conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Preterm lambs (124–126 days gestation), prophylactically treated with natural surfactant, were allocated to one of the treatment modalities or to an untreated fetal control group (F), euthanised after tracheal ligation. LA-HFOV animals received an intratracheal loading dose of 5 mL.kg-1 followed by a continuous intrapulmonary instillation of 12 mL.kg-1;h-1 FC-75 perfluorocarbon liquid. The ventilation strategies aimed at keeping clinically appropriate arterial blood gases for a study period of 5 hours. A histological lung injury score was calculated and semiquantitative morphometry was performed on lung tissue fixed by vascular perfusion. The alveolar-arterial pressure difference for O2 was significantly lower throughout the study in TLV compared to CMV lambs; at 1, 2, and 5 hours, oxygenation was better in TLV when compared to LA-HFOV. Total lung injury scores in TLV lambs were significantly lower than in either CMV or LA-HFOV animals, but higher when compared to F. CMV and LA-HFOV induced an excess of collapsed and overdistended alveoli, whereas in TLV alveolar expansion was normally distributed around predominantly normal alveoli. CMV and LA-HFOV, but not TLV, were associated with an excess of dilated airways. Thus, in the ovine neonatal RDS model, TLV compared favourably to either gas ventilation strategy by its more uniform ventilation, reduced lung injury, and improved gas exchange.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial liquid ventilation (PLV) with perfluorochemical (PFC) has been advocated as a new therapy for acute respiratory distress syndrome in both clinical and animal studies, meconium aspiration syndrome, and RDS. PFC is referred to as liquid PEEP because it gets distributed to the most gravity-dependent regions of the lung due to its density. High-frequency oscillation (HFO) has been shown to prevent both acute and chronic lung injury in the management of very low birth weight infants with RDS, with gentle ventilation approach. Specifically, HFO with aggressive and adequate lung volume recruitment has been shown to reduce the incidence of chronic lung disease in very low birth weight infants. We hypothesized that PLV along with HFO might be effective in ARDS in an adult rabbit model. OBJECTIVES To examine the efficiency of low-dose PLV with with HFO on pulmonary gas exchange and lung compliance in a surfactant-depleted rabbit model. METHODS After induction of severe lung injury by repeated saline lung lavage, 19 adult white Japanese rabbits were randomized into two groups that received PLV with HFO (n=9) or HFO gas ventilation (n=10). Physiological and blood gas data were compared between the two groups by analysis of variance. RESULTS The HFO-PLV group showed improved total lung compliance with maintenance of significantly lower mean airway pressure as compared with the HFO-GAS group so as to keep SpO2>90%. CONCLUSIONS The addition of a low dose of PFC with HFO was effective in achieving adequate oxygenation, with a reduction in further lung injury in neonates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate standardized lung recruitment strategy during both high frequency oscillation (HFO) and volume-targeted conventional ventilation (CV+V) in spontaneously breathing piglets with surfactant washout on pathophysiologic and inflammatory responses. DESIGN Prospective animal study. SETTING Research laboratory. SUBJECTS Twenty-four newborn piglets. INTERVENTIONS We compared pressure support and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, both with targeted tidal volumes, (PSV+V, SIMV+V) to HFO. Animals underwent saline lavage to produce lung injury, received artificial surfactant and were randomized to one of the three treatment groups (each n=8). After injury and surfactant replacement, lung volumes were recruited in all groups using a standard protocol. Ventilation continued for 6 h. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Arterial and central venous pressures, heart rates, blood pressure and arterial blood gases were continuously monitored. At baseline, post lung injury and 6 h we collected serum and bronchoalveolar lavage samples for proinflammatory cytokines: IL 6, IL 8 and TNF-alpha, and performed static pressure-volume (P/V) curves. Lungs were fixed for morphometrics and histopathologic analysis. No physiologic differences were found. Analysis of P/V curves showed higher opening pressures after lung injury in the HFO group compared to the SIMV+V group ( p<0.05); no differences persisted after treatment. We saw no differences in change in proinflammatory cytokine levels. Histopathology and morphometrics were similar. Mean airway pressure (P(aw)) was highest in the HFO group compared to SIMV+V ( p<0.002). CONCLUSIONS Using a standardized lung recruitment strategy in spontaneously breathing animals, CV+V produced equivalent pathophysiologic outcomes without an increase in proinflammatory cytokines when compared to HFO.

Abstract
Two infants on high-frequency oscillatory ventilation for chronic lung disease and severe respiratory failure, received a bolus of warmed and oxygenated perfluorodecalin up to residual functional capacity, followed by a continuous infusion of 6 ml/kg/hour. Our aim was to improve gas exchange without increasing ventilatory-induced lung injury. Heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and TcPO(2)/TcPCO(2) were continuously monitored during treatment. Arterial blood gas was evaluated every 3 hours. Both patients showed improvement of gas exchange with a 13.6 and 12.5% reduction of oxygenation index, respectively. High-frequency partial liquid ventilation is an experimental ventilation technique that could be considered as rescue treatment, to improve oxygenation in subjects with critical respiratory failure. This method could probably produce less damage, than other ventilation modes, to severely injured lungs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the beneficial effects of exogenous surfactant supplementation (ESS) and partial liquid ventilation (PLV) in treating acute lung injury induced by wood smoke inhalation. DESIGN A prospective, randomized, controlled, multigroup study. SETTING An animal research laboratory at a medical center. SUBJECTS Newborn piglets (n = 29; 1.80 +/- 0.06 kg) of either sex. INTERVENTIONS Animals were ventilated with a tidal volume of 15 mL/kg, a rate of 30 breaths/min, a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cm H(2)O, and an Fio(2) of 1.0. After the induction of acute lung injury by wood smoke inhalation, animals were randomly assigned to receive either conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) or PLV with or without ESS pretreatment. Animals were grouped as CMV, ESS-CMV, PLV, and ESS-PLV. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Arterial blood gases, cardiovascular hemodynamics, dynamic lung compliance, and total lung injury scores were measured. After smoke inhalation, all four groups displayed similar high arterial carboxyhemoglobin levels, low Pao(2) (<150 mm Hg), and low dynamic lung compliance (<66% of its baseline). In the CMV group, these deleterious conditions remained during the 4-hr observation period, and severe lung injury was noted histologically. All treatment groups demonstrated a significant increase in Pao(2) compared with the CMV group. In addition, both the PLV and ESS-PLV groups displayed significant improvements in dynamic lung compliance and in their histologic outcomes. Nevertheless, none of the variables measured in the PLV group differed from those measured in the ESS-PLV group. CONCLUSIONS In a newborn piglet model of smoke inhalation injury, PLV or ESS improved oxygenation. PLV compared favorably with ESS in its greater improvements in lung compliance and lung pathology. However, the combined therapy of ESS and PLV was not clearly superior to PLV alone during the observation period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Liquid ventilation is a promising therapy for respiratory failure. The effects of perfluorochemical on cardiac output have not been well described. The purpose of this study was to compare cerebral blood flow (Q(CAROTID)) and cerebral metabolic rates (CMR) during conventional ventilation (CV) and partial liquid ventilation (PLV). METHODS Five 2-week-old lambs underwent tracheostomy and central venous, aortic, and postcerebral venous catheter placement. Doppler flow probes were placed around the common ovine trunk, and the lambs underwent CV for 1 hour. Ventilation was adjusted to maintain physiologic blood gases. Pre- and postcerebral blood gas, glucose, and lactate samples were obtained every 15 minutes. Perfluorodecalin then was instilled endotracheally. The lambs underwent 1 hour of PLV with similar sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon matched pairs test, significance at P </=.05. RESULTS The authors observed no difference in mean Q(CAROTID) or carotid vascular resistance between CV and PLV (P =.35 and.34, respectively). The CMR of oxygen, glucose, and lactate were calculated using the Fick principle. CMR was unchanged between modes (P =.5). CONCLUSIONS PLV did not adversely alter Q(CAROTID) or CMR in lambs, implying that this mode of ventilation should be safe in neonatal patients at risk for neurologic injury.

Abstract
A combination of exogenous surfactant and partial liquid ventilation (PLV) with perfluorocarbons should enhance gas exchange, improve respiratory mechanics and reduce tissue damage of the lung in acute lung injury (ALI). We used a small dose of exogenous surfactant with and without PLV in an experimental model of ALI and studied the effects on gas exchange, haemodynamics, lung mechanics, and lung pathology. ALI was induced by repeated lavages (PaO2/FIO2 less than 13 kPa) in 24 anaesthesized, tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated (FIO2 1.0) juvenile pigs. They were treated randomly with either a single intratracheal dose of surfactant (50 mg kg(-1), Curosurf, Serono AG, München, Germany) (SURF-group, n=8), a single intratracheal dose of surfactant (50 mg kg(-1), Curosurf) followed by PLV with 30 ml kg(-1) of perfluorocarbon (PF 5080, 3M, Germany) (SURF-PLV-group, n=8) or no further intervention (controls, n=8). Pulmonary gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, and haemodynamics were measured hourly for a 6 h period. In the SURF-group, the intrapulmonary right-to-left shunt (QS/QT) decreased significantly from mean 51 (SEM 5)% after lavage to 12 (2)%, and PaO2 increased significantly from 8.1 (0.7) to 61.2 (4.7) kPa compared with controls and compared with the SURF-PLV-group (P<0.05). In the SURF-PLV-group, QS/QT decreased significantly from 54 (3)% after induction of ALI to 26 (3)% and PaO2 increased significantly from 7.2 (0.5) to 30.8 (5.0) kPa compared with controls (P<0.05). Static compliance of the respiratory system (C(RS)), significantly improved in the SURF-PLV-group compared with controls (P<0.05). Upon histological examination, the SURF-group revealed the lowest total injury score compared with controls and the SURF-PLV-group (P<0.05). We conclude that in this experimental model of ALI, treatment with a small dose of exogenous surfactant improves pulmonary gas exchange and reduces the lung injury more effectively than the combined treatment of a small dose of exogenous surfactant and PLV.

Abstract
Liquid breathing has been proposed as a means of improving gas exchange in infants with acute respiratory failure since the 1970s. In addition, there are potential clinical applications of perfluorochemical (PFC) liquids that span many specialties in medicine. The ability to lower surface tension directed the initial clinical focus on neonatal therapy in the treatment of premature lung disease. The first clinical trial of PFC ventilation was performed in neonates in 1989. Additional trials using LiquiVent (Alliance Pharmaceutical San Diego, CA), a medical grade PFC liquid, were initiated in 1993 in infants, children, and adults. These studies have concluded that liquid ventilation appeared to be safe, improve lung function, and recruit lung volume in patients from these populations. The results of such trials are encouraging, but randomized trials have yet to be completed. We await these pivotal trials, which will probably be completed in adult patients first, before this promising technique can be clinically available.

Abstract
PLV represents an intriguing alternative paradigm in the approach to the patient with ALI. Within the past decade, substantial information has become available regarding this technique. Clearly, PLV is feasible in patients with ALI and ARDS, and it appears to be safe with respect to short-term effects on hemodynamics and lung physiology, as well as long-term toxicity (although further research in this area is warranted). Although PLV has not yet been proven to be superior to traditional mechanical ventilation for patients with ALI or ARDS, PLV possesses an intriguing combination of physical, physiologic, and biologic effects: "Liquid PEEP" effect--e.g., more effective recruitment of dependent lung zones than achieved by gas ventilation Anti-inflammatory effects Lavage of alveolar debris Mitigation of ventilator-induced lung injury Direct anti-inflammatory effects--e.g., decreased macrophage release of proinflammatory cytokines, etc. Prevention of nosocomial pneumonia Combination with other modalities--e.g., exogenous surfactant replacement, inhaled NO, prone position Enhanced delivery of drugs or gene vectors into the lung. The results of ongoing and future clinical trials will be necessary to establish whether PLV improves clinical outcomes in patients with ALI or ARDS, or specific subgroups of such patients. Significant work also remains to be done to define the optimum dose level of PLV and the most appropriate ventilatory strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare the physiologic and pathologic effects of conventional ventilation (CV) and high-frequency ventilation (HFV) during partial liquid ventilation (PLV) with perflubron after surfactant treatment with the results of HFV plus surfactant in an animal lung-injury model created by saline lavage. We also studied the dose effects of perflubron during HFV. DESIGN: Randomized experimental study. SETTING: Research animal laboratory. SUBJECTS: A total of 32 newborn piglets. INTERVENTIONS: After lung injury was induced, the animals were randomized to one of four groups: a) CV + surfactant + perflubron to functional residual capacity (FRC); b) HFV + surfactant + perflubron to FRC; c) HFV + surfactant + 10 mL/kg perflubron; and d) HFV + surfactant. All then received intratracheal surfactant. After 30 mins, perflubron was administered to the PLV groups. The animals underwent ventilation for 20 hrs. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Arterial blood gases and hemodynamic variables were continuously monitored. Pulmonary histologic and morphometric analyses were performed after death or euthanasia at 20 hrs. All animals had sustained improvements in arterial/alveolar oxygen ratios, and no differences were observed among groups. All HFV groups required higher mean airway pressures to maintain oxygenation (p <.05). Hemodynamics did not differ among groups. Pathologic analysis demonstrated decreased lung injury in both cranial-dorsal (nondependent) and caudal-ventral (dependent) lobes of all animals treated with PLV when compared with those treated with HFV + surfactant (p <.05). CONCLUSIONS: After surfactant treatment, physiologic support over 20 hrs was similar during HFV with or without perflubron and CV with perflubron. All PLV modalities improved lung pathologic factors uniformly to a greater degree than did HFV + surfactant. A lower treatment volume of perflubron during HFV produced physiologic and pathologic results similar to those produced by perflubron with respect to FRC during either CV or HFV.
