Popis: 1. 1. Minimal surface tension of the lungs of dogs was estimated in terms of surfactant activity before, during, and after cardiopulmonary bypass. 2. 2. Surfactant values of normal lungs sampled before the operation ranged from 1.8–11.8 dynes per cm. 2 , averaging 5.1 dynes per cm. 2 3. 3. Animals perfused one or two hours with 50% hemodilution showed little change in surfactant values immediately after the perfusion was completed. However, in those that survived more than fifteen hours the values rose an average of 11.1 dynes per cm. 2 4. 4. 60% of animals perfused with whole blood for one hour had rises in surface tension (average 8.5 dynes/cm. 2 ) both at the completion of bypass and at the time of death. None of these dogs survived more than eight hours. 5. 5. No rise in minimal surface tension was observed in animals placed on controlled ventilation without cardiopulmonary by pass; only one of 6 animals with thoracotomy and heparin showed a persistent rise. 6. 6. Possible explanations for the temporary protection to lung surface afforded by hemodilution as compared to whole blood perfusion are discussed.
