We compared the effects of pure oxygen (FiO(2) > 90%) or room air (21% FiO(2)) on the cardiopulmonary actions of sildenafil in sheep with acute pulmonary embolism (APE).Main methods: Forty anesthetized, mechanically ventilated sheep (34.9 +/- 5.4 kg), were randomly distributed into four groups (n = 4 per group): FiO(2) > 90% without intervention; APE induced by microspheres with FiO(2) > 90%, followed 30 min later by placebo (Emb(90)); or APE followed 30 min later by intravenous sildenafil (0.7 mg/kg over 30 min) with FiO(2) > 90% (Emb + Sild(90)) or 21% FiO(2) (Emb + Sild(21)). Variables were recorded until 30 min after the end of treatment administration.Key findings: Microsphere injection increased (P < 0.05) mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) in all embolized groups (111-140% higher than that of baseline). Compared with values recorded 30 min after induction of APE (E-30), sildenafil induced greater decreases in MPAP in the Emb + Sil(90) group than in the Emb + Sil(21) group (23% and 14% lower than E-30, respectively).
