A pediatric artificial lung (PAL) is under development as a bridge to transplantation or lung remodeling for children with end-stage lung failure (ESLF). To evaluate the efficiency of a PAL, a disease model mimicking the physiologic derangements of pediatric ESLF is needed. Our previous right pulmonary artery (rPA) ligation model (rPA-LM) achieved that goal, but caused immediate mortality in nearly half of the animals. In this study, we evaluated a new technique of gradual postoperative right pulmonary artery occlusion using a Rummel tourniquet (rPA-RT) in seven (25-40 kg) sheep. This technique created a stable model of ESLF pathophysiology, characterized by high alveolar dead space (58.0% ± 3.8%), pulmonary hypertension (38.4 ± 2.2 mm Hg), tachypnea (79 ± 20 breaths per minute), and intermittent supplemental oxygen requirement. This improvement to our technique provides the necessary physiologic derangements for testing a PAL, whereas avoiding the problem of high immediate perioperative mortality.
一种小儿人工肺(PAL)正在研发中,作为终末期肺衰竭(ESLF)儿童移植或肺重塑的桥梁。为了评估PAL的效率,需要一种模拟小儿ESLF生理紊乱的疾病模型。我们之前的右肺动脉(rPA)结扎模型(rPA-LM)实现了这一目标,但在近一半的动物中导致了即刻死亡。在本研究中,我们评估了一种使用鲁梅尔止血带(rPA-RT)在七只(25-40千克)绵羊中进行术后右肺动脉逐渐闭塞的新技术。该技术创建了一个稳定的ESLF病理生理学模型,其特征为高肺泡死腔(58.0%±3.8%)、肺动脉高压(38.4±2.2毫米汞柱)、呼吸急促(每分钟79±20次呼吸)以及间歇性补充氧气需求。我们技术的这种改进为测试PAL提供了必要的生理紊乱,同时避免了围手术期即刻高死亡率的问题。
