Abstract

Purpose: The capnodynamic method, End Expiratory Lung Volume CO (EELV-CO), utilizes exhaled carbon dioxide analysis to estimate End-Expiratory Lung Volume (EELV) and has been validated in both normal lungs and lung injury models. Its performance under systemic hypoxia and variations in CO elimination is not examined. This study aims to validate EELV-CO against inert gas wash in/wash out (EELV- SF6, sulfur hexafluoride) in a porcine model of stable hemodynamic conditions followed by hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and inhaled nitric oxide (iNO).

Methods: Ten mechanically ventilated piglets were exposed to a hypoxic gas mixture and selective pulmonary vasoconstriction. Inhalation of nitric oxide was used to reverse the pulmonary vasoconstriction. Paired recordings of EELV-CO and EELV-SF6, were conducted to assess their agreement of absolute values.

Results: EELV-CO showed a bias of + 5 ml kg compared to EELV-SF6, upper limit of agreement of 11 ml kg (95%CI: 9-13 ml kg), lower limit of agreement - 1 ml kg (95%CI: -3- 0 ml kg), mean percentage error 34%. Agreement between EELV-CO and EELV-SF6 was largely constant but was affected by progressing hypoxia and reached maximum limit of agreement after iNO exposure. Re-introduction of normoxemia then stabilized bias and limits of agreement to baseline levels.

Conclusion: EELV-CO generates absolute values in parallel with EELV -SF6. Stressing EELV-CO with hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and iNO, transiently impairs the agreement which stabilizes once normoxemia is reestablished.
