Interventions: Intravenous oleic acid and inhaled nitric oxide. Measurements and Main Results: All pigs treated with intravenous oleic acid (0.11 mUkg) developed a severe lung injury with pulmonary hypertension, accompanied by impaired oxygenation, intrapulmonary shunting, and increased extravascular lung water (p
