Because questions have arisen regarding pulmonary vascular permeability and resistance
measurements in isolated, perfused lungs, we sought to determine the 1) stability of …

Although recent X-ray computed tomography (CT) data show that ventral-dorsal gradients in
density are common in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we hypothesized …

Regional measurements of extravascular lung water (rEVLW) were made with positron
emission tomography (PET) and 15O-labeled radionuclides. The label used to measure the …

Study objective (1) To explore the interaction between mechanical ventilation and oleic acid
(OA)-induced lung injury on indexes of pulmonary gas exchange and epithelial permeability …

To determine the spatial distributions of pulmonary perfusion, shunt, and ventilation, we
developed a compartmental model of regional 13N-labeled molecular nitrogen (13NN) …

Clearance of inhaled 99mTechnetium-labelled diethylene triamine pentacetate (99mTc-
DTPA) from the lung, an index of pulmonary alveolar epithelial permeability (PAEP), was …

Pulmonary microvascular and alveolar epithelial permeability were evaluated in vivo by
scintigraphic imaging during lung distension. A zone of alveolar flooding was made by …

In 11 supine dogs, we related regional lung water concentration (rLWC) measurements
made with positron emission tomography (PET) after canine oleic acid (OA)-induced acute …

We have measured regional pulmonary blood flow (PBF) in normal dogs with positron
emission tomography (PET) and 15O-labeled water (H2 (15) O). The method is …

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes lung injury that occasionally progresses to the adult
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We measured the effect of 10 cmH2O of positive end …
