Popis: Partial liquid ventilation (PLV) may shortly be used for infants with meconium aspiration (MAS). We studied the effects of PLV and inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) over 4 h in a newborn piglet MAS model. 24 piglets were anesthetized, and instrumented for monitoring pulmonary arterial pressure(PAP) cardiac output by thermodilution, pulmonary functions. The agent used was Perfluorodecalin[C10F18] (MultifluorR; Air Products and Chemicals Inc). Post instillation of meconium acidotic and hypoxic piglets (1-4 d age, 1-2 kg wt) were randomly assigned to 4 groups: Control Conventional positive pressure ventilation with 100% O2; iNO Conventional ventilation with 100% O2 + 40ppm NO; PLV FRC filled with perfluorodecalin, ventilated with 100%02; PLV+INO PLV + 40ppm NO. Results: Mean (SD) after meconium [Pre] and at 4 h [Post].*=p
