Hyperventilation-induced airway injury and vascular leakage in dogs: effects of α1-adrenergic agonists

Abstract: alpha1-Adrenergic agonists inhibit hyperventilation-induced bronchoconstriction (HIB) in dogs. We tested the hypothesis that alpha-agonists inhibit HIB by reducing bronchovascular leakage and edema that theoretically could cause airway obstruction. Peripheral airways were isolated by using a bronchoscope; pretreated with either methoxamine (Mx), norepinephrine (NE), or saline aerosol; and then exposed to a 2,000 ml/min dry-air challenge (DAC) for 2 min. Colloidal carbon was injected before DAC and used to quan… Show more

“…110 It is possible, however, that an increase in MVP might be a normal adaptation to excessive dehydration in an attempt to restore normal ionic and osmotic environment. 80,[116][117][118] Furthermore, an increase in MVP and leakage might be an epiphenomenon of exercise rather than a cause of EIB. 119,120 …”

“…Both PE formation and subsequent death could be prevented with α 1 -adrenergic blockade, while the selective α 2 -adrenoceptor antagonist yohimbine was ineffective [51]. Strong arterial hypertension and increased permeability of pulmonary capillaries due to damage of the capillary walls are crucial pathogenic mechanisms of α 1 -adrenergic stimulation in formation of pulmonary edema [51, 52]. …”
