Objectives: Critically ill patients often require mechanical ventilatory support and increased inspiratory 0 2 concentration. Experimentally, continuous breathing of 100% 02 in animals leads to progressive irreversible damage to the lung, ARDS and death. In critical care units 100% 0 2 is often administered for several hours. The mechanism of hyperoxia induced lung injury is unclear. The objective of this study is to explore inflammatory mediator responses following breathing 100% 0 2 in humans. Ten healthy subjects aged 32-46 breathed 100% 0 2 for 60 minutes. Minute ventilation, arterial 02 saturation, blood pressure, heart rate and EKG were continually monitored. Methods: Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1(3) and Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-ira) were determined by ELISA in the supernatant of whole blood incubated with Endotoxin by the method of Nerad and Dinarello, before (To), at the end of 60 minutes of 100% Oz breathing (F6o) and at 90 (Tso) and 180 (Ttso) minutes following resumption of air breathing. Results: pg/ml 02 Breathing Air Breathing To
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
