Effects of hypercapnia with and without acidosis on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction

Abstract: Acute respiratory disorders and permissive hypercapnic strategy may lead to alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnic acidosis. However, the effects of hypercapnia with or without acidosis on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) and oxygen diffusion capacity of the lung are controversial. We investigated the effects of hypercapnic acidosis and hypercapnia with normal pH (pH corrected with sodium bicarbonate) on HPV, capillary permeability, gas exchange, and ventilation-perfusion matching in the isolated ventilated-… Show more

“…Our finding that the inhibition of the NO-cGMP pathway in isolated lungs only tended to increase acute HPV is consistent with a study showing that endothelial NO modulated the second phase of HPV in particular (36), and that sGC-a1 deficiency did not change the response to acute hypoxia in the lungs of anesthetized mice (37). In contrast to our findings in mice, L-NNA was shown to increase acute HPV in isolated rabbit lungs (2,38), and when comparing studies in mice, the gene deletion of eNOS resulted in an augmentation of acute HPV in isolated lungs (5). Differences in the applied setup and experimental protocol with the specific activation of NOS by specific experimental procedures may account for this discrepancy.…”

In intact animals, hypercapnic acidosis either increases pulmonary vascular resistance without affecting the hypoxic response, 39 or attenuates HPV through complex mechanisms.…”
