Post-pump syndrome is an acute lung injury following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) which is indistinguishable from the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is central to the inflammatory process and is capable of triggering the entire pathophysiologic response leading to ARDS. We hypothesized that treatment with a soluble TNF receptor-binding protein (TNFbp) would reduce the increase in serum TNF and prevent acute lung injury in our sequential insult model of ARDS following CPB. Anesthetized pigs were randomized to one of three groups:Control(n= 3), surgical preparation only;CPB + LPS(n= 6), femoral-femoral hypothermic bypass for 1 h followed by infusion of low doseEscherichia colilipopolysaccharide (LPS; 1 μg/kg); andTNFbp + CPB + LPS(n= 4), pretreatment with intravenous TNFbp (2 mg/kg) followed immediately by both insults. CPB + LPS caused severe lung injury demonstrated by a significant fall inPaO2and an increase in both intrapulmonary shunt and peak airway pressure as compared to all groups (P< 0.05). These changes were associated with a significant increase in plasma TNF level and pulmonary neutrophil sequestration. TNFbp significantly reduced plasma levels of TNF and prevented the lung injury typically observed with this ARDS model, but did not reduce pulmonary neutrophil sequestration. Thus, elevated serum TNF is not responsible for neutrophil sequestration but does play a role in neutrophil activation which causes lung injury. Prophylactic use of TNFbp in CPB patients may prevent neutrophil activation and reduce the incidence of post-pump ARDS. |
