Low-tidal-volume prevent ventilation induced inflammation in a mouse model of sepsis.

Life Sciences 2019 November 20
BACKGROUND AND GOAL OF THE STUDY: Pulmonary inflammation, increased vascular permeability, and pulmonary edema, occur in response to primary pulmonary infections like pneumonia but are also evident in endotoxemia or sepsis. Mechanical ventilation augments pre-existing lung injury and inflammation resulting from exposure to microbial products. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that low-tidal-volume prevent ventilation induced lung injury in sepsis.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: 10-12-week-old male C57BL/6N-mice received an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection with equipotent dosages of LPS, 1668-thioate, 1612-thioate, or PBS. 120 min after injection, mice were randomized to low- (LV, 7 ± 1 ml/kg) or high-tidal-volume (HV, 25 ± 1 ml/kg) ventilation. Hemodynamic and ventilatory parameters were recorded and inflammatory markers were analyzed form BAL that was generated after 90 minute ventilation.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Arterial blood pressures declined during mechanical ventilation in all groups. pO2 decreased in LPS injected and CO2 increased in sham, LPS, and 1612-thioate administered mice at 45 min and in 1668-thioate injected mice after 90 minute LV ventilation compared to respective HV groups. BAL protein concentrations increased in HV ventilated and 1668- or 1612-thioat pre-treated mice. BAL TNF-α protein concentrations increased in both LPS- and 1668-thioate-injected and IL-1β protein concentrations only in LPS-injected and HV ventilated mice. Most notably, no increased protein concentrations were observed in any of the LV ventilated groups.

CONCLUSION: We conclude that low-tidal-volume ventilation may be a potential strategy for the prevention of ventilator induced lung injury in a murine model of systemic TLR agonist induced lung injury.
