  • Title: Changes in extravascular lung water during venovenous perfusion.
    Author: Demling RH, Hicks RE, Edmunds LH.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1976 Feb; 71(2):291-4. PubMed ID: 1246154.
    Abstract:
    The accumulation of extravascular lung water was related to changes in plasma colloid osmotic pressure and pulmonary hydrostatic pressures in 12 normal dogs and 13 dogs that had venovenous perfusion for 2 hours at 45 to 70 ml. per kilogram per minute. The venovenous perfusion system included a membrane oxygenator and a roller pump. Net intravascular filtration pressure was calculated from plasma colloid osmotic pressure and pulmonary hydrostic pressures. Rapid accumulation of extravascular lung water occurred in control and bypass animals when net intravascular filtration pressure exceeded zero. At lower filtration pressures, venovenous perfusion did not affect accumulation of extravascular lung water.
