Objective To investigate the effect of partial liquid ventilation (PLV) with perfluorocarbon(PFC) and continuous pulmonary artery perfusion (CPP) on lung gas exchange and lung inflammatory reaction in acute lung injury(ALI) induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods Eighteen of either sex piglets(weighting10.2±1.6kg) were randomly divided into three groups: Control group, CPP+CPB group (CPP group), PLV+CPP+CPB group (PLV group). Animals in control group received no treatment but conventional mechanical ventilation.In CPP group lung perfusion with oxygenated blood at 20-25ml/kg·min was given during aortic clamping. In PLV group PFC (FDC)12ml/kg was instilled into the trachea right after CPB stopping. The changes of gas exchange were mearsured before CPB and at 0h, 1h, 2h, 3h after CPB stopping. Histological sections were taken from right and left downsides of lung. Results Compared with control group, the partial pressure of oxygen in artery (PaO2) significantly increased and alveolar-aterial oxygen gradient(AaDO2) markedly decreased after 1h in PLV group(P lt;005) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery (PaCO2) also became small after 3h (P lt;005).The change of gas exchange in CPP group was markedly improved. And role of lung protection of PLV was more better than that of CPP. Light microscopy: Express of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in the histopathological lesions of lung was bely positive in control group than that of PLV group and CPP group. Conclusion PLV and continuous pulmonary artery perfusion can improve the oxygenation of lung and inhibit inflammatory reaction of acute lung injury induced by CPB
