Cold Perfluorochemical-Induced Hypothermia Protects Lung Integrity in Normal Rabbits

Abstract: To test the hypothesis that intrapulmonary perfluorochemical (PFC) liquid may induce hypothermia, and to compare the effects of internal (IC), external (EC), and combined cooling techniques (EC + IC), 14 juvenile rabbits were randomized to EC by a cold blanket (4°C, n = 5), IC by intrapulmonary cold PFC liquid lavage (4°C, n = 5), or combined IC with PFC and EC (n = 4). Arterial blood gas, blood pressure, and lung mechanics were monitored, and lung histology was examined by light microscopy. The results showed… Show more

“…18 -20 In addition, this ventilation procedure protects lung integrity. 20 Using a prototype of total liquid ventilator that alternatively instills and removes a tidal volume of perfluorocarbon from the lung, we were able to decrease the left atrial temperature to 32°C within only 5 minutes in anesthetized rabbits. 11,17,18 This decrease was associated with very potent protection against myocardial infarction and subsequent contractile dysfunction in animal models of coronary artery occlusion.…”

“…9,15,16 This would be of importance as several prototypes of total liquid ventilators have been developed and may be used in adults after technical improvements. 17,18 By the present time, no clinical reports have properly investigated cooling using TLV in humans but several studies have tested other cooling strategies such as external or endovascular cooling.…”
