Abstract | OBJECTIVE: DESIGN: Prospective, randomized laboratory study. SETTING: Animal research laboratory. SUBJECTS: Forty-two female pigs (28+/-3 kg). INTERVENTIONS: Pigs were anesthetized and ventilated and were allocated into three groups: control (n = 6), hydrochloric acid (4 mL/kg intratracheally, n = 24), or oleic acid (0.1 mL/kg intravenously, n = 12). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:
Hydrochloric acid instillation or oleic acid injection resulted in a similar hypoxemia and induced a two- to three-fold increase in extravascular lung water (EVLW) by gravimetry (EVLWG) at 3 hrs compared with controls. In the oleic acid group, there was a significant correlation between EVLWG and EVLW by double indicator method (EVLWDI; r =.88, p <.0001). The bias for EVLWDI - EVLWG measurements was -5.2 mL/kg (95% confidence interval, -5.7 to -4.7 mL/kg) with 95% limits of agreement of -7 to -3.4 mL/kg. In the hydrochloric acid group, there was no significant correlation between EVLWDI and EVLWG values, and the double indicator method failed to detect pulmonary edema in 65% of the animals (EVLWDI <8 mL/kg). The bias was -7.9 mL/kg (95% confidence interval, -9.3 to -6.5 mL/kg) with 95% limits of agreement of -14.4 to -1.4 mL/kg. CONCLUSIONS:
