Abstract:
Objective To observe the effects of nebulized nitric oxide donors on pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics during pulmonary hypertension induced by hypoxia (FiO_2=0.1,for 1 hour)in newborn piglets. Methods Twenty-four anesthetized and mechanically ventilated piglets were randomly divided into four groups:(1)group S (n=6),control group;(2)group C (n=6),receiving saline after hypoxia;(3)group NTG,receiving nebulized nitroglycerin after hypoxia;(4)group SNP,receiving nebulized sodium nitroprusside after hypoxia. Mean arterial pressure (MAP)and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP)were monitored continuously. Arterial blood gas analysis was determined at baseline,1 hour after hypoxia,termination of nebulization and 0.5 h after nebulization. After nebulization,blood methemoglobin (MetHb)and plasma NO level were measured.Results Acute hypoxia resulted in a significant increase in MPAP. At 1 hour after hypoxia,MPAP in group C,group NTG and group SNP were significantly higher than that in group S(P0.05).After nebulization,there were no significant differences in plasma NO level and blood MetHb level between groups. No rebound pulmonary hypertension was observed after withdrawal of nebulization. Conclusion Both NTG and SNP nebulization could be used as selective pulmonary vasodilators for acute hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.
