Objective
To measure the impact of changes in the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) on systemic and cerebral oxygen supply in gas and liquid ventilated healthy animals.
Design
Interventional prospective animal study.
Setting
University research laboratory.
Participants
Ten healthy, new-born piglets.
Interventions
Variations in FiO2 during conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) followed by partial liquid ventilation (PLV) with two different filling volumes of PF 5080 (10 vs. 30 ml/kg).
Measurements and results
Arterial blood gases were obtained 15 min after changing FiO2 and concentrations of cerebral oxygenated and total hemoglobin were determined with near infrared spectroscopy. During CMV an increase in FiO2 1.0 was associated with a constant rise in PaO2 but only a small increase in the cerebral concentration of oxygenated Hb. Initiation of PLV (at FiO2 of 1.0) caused a rapid drop in PaO2 towards values that were similar to CMV at FiO2 of 0.5. At FiO2 of 0.5 a reduction in oxygenated Hb was found in the 30 ml/kg filling group. Complete filling of the lungs with PFC caused a significant drop in total cerebral Hb concentration.
Conclusions
According to our data, PLV in healthy lungs should be performed with a FiO2 of 1.0 and a small filling volume to avoid deterioration in cerebral oxygen supply.
