Effects of different perfusion conditions and storage of isolated dog lungs on the process of edema development were studied. Sixty-nine mongrel dogs were used in the study. In case of a 15 min perfusion via the pulmonary artery and 12 h storage lung condition depended mainly on the type of solution and addition of protective drugs to this solution. Euro-Collins and low-potassium electrolytic solution markedly increased capillary hydrostatic pressure and drastically reduced plasma colloid-osmotic pressure. As a result filtration coefficient increased and as soon as an hour after reperfusion onset a marked pulmonary edema developed. Use of LPD solution without drugs added for 2.5 h reperfusion was associated with a moderate increase of capillary hydrostatic pressure and negligible decrease of plasma colloid-osmotic pressure. If the reperfusion were longer plasma colloid-osmotic pressure reduced, this leading to development of moderate pulmonary edema. A 15 min lung perfusion via the pulmonary artery and 12 h storage at 1 degree C in LPD solution with membrane protectors and antioxidants was associated with virtually unchanged capillary hydrostatic pressure, plasma colloid-osmotic pressure, and filtration coefficient and, hence, no pulmonary edema.
