BACKGROUND: Our study evaluated the efficacy and feasibility of a pumpless respiratory assist device and determined its capacity for carbon dioxide removal.
METHODS: In five adult pigs the left femoral vein and artery were cannulated with a 20F cannula and connected to a low-pressure hollow-fiber artificial lung. After we had obtained baseline values of mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, and blood flow across the artificial lung, the mean arterial pressure was reduced 20% and 40% relative to baseline; in a second phase, it was raised 20% and 40. Cardiac output and artificial lung flow were simultaneously recorded. We determined the carbon dioxide removal capacity of the artificial lung by gradually increasing the arterial partial carbon dioxide tension of the animal.
RESULTS: An increase of 10 mm Hg in mean arterial pressure resulted in an increase of flow of 0.14 L/min. The mean pressure drop across the artificial lung was measured at 17 +/- 9 mm Hg. The shunt flow over the artificial lung varied between 14 and 25% of the cardiac output of the animal. Depending on inlet conditions, carbon dioxide removal by the artificial lung was between 62 +/- 22 mL/L/min and 104 +/- 25 mL/L/min.
CONCLUSIONS: A pumpless respiratory assist device can remove a significant proportion of the metabolic carbon dioxide production. However, adequate mean arterial pressure is mandatory to maintain sufficient flow across the device. The technique seems attractive because of its simplicity and can be used in acute lung injury in conjunction of apneic oxygenation for prolonged respiratory support.
