Abstract: | The blood flow to the left lower lobe (L), and total (T) pulmonary blood flow, were measured in 10 open-chest dogs usingelectromagnetic flowmeters. Ventilation of the left lower lobewith 7% oxygen in nitrogen produced a greater reduction in L/T (41%) than lobar ventilation with 7% oxygen in nitrous oxide(33%). Lobar collapse reduced QL/QT by 65%, but there was nochange in L/T when 50% nitrous oxide was administered to theright lung. The i.v. infusion of lignocaine hydrochloride duringventilation of the lobe with 7% oxygen in nitrogen producedno change in L/T. However, lignocaine infusion during lobar ventilationwith 7% oxygen in nitrous oxide produced a further reductionin L/T to a value which was not significantly differentfrom that observed during ventilation with 7% oxygen in nitrogen.Lignocaine had no effect on L/T during lobar collapse whether theright lung was ventilated with 50% oxygen in nitrogen or 50%oxygen in nitrous oxide. It is concluded that lignocaine reversesthe depression of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction producedby lobar ventilation with nitrous oxide. |
