Research Abstract

There are theoretical and experimental indications that the presence of Helium as a balance gas markedly increase the diffusion velocity of other gases contained in a gas mixture. The aim of this study was to establish the system of inhaled NO in He for pulmonary hypertension. Wave intensity (dP x dU) is a hemodynamic index derived by analysis of wave characteristics, I.e., forward compression, backward compression, forward expansion, and backward expansion waves. In 1997 we organized the real time expression Wave Intensity system. We allowed dogs with pulmonary vasoconstriction induced by hypoxia to inhale a mixture of NO and OィイD22ィエD2 balanced with He (NO in He) instead of NィイD22ィエD2 (NO in NィイD22ィエD2). The dilating effect of NO in He and NO in NィイD22ィエD2 on the pulmonary artery was evaluated by determining conventional pulmonary hemodynamic parameters (mean pulmonary artery pressure [MPAP] and total pulmonary resistance indexed to body surface area [TPRI]), pulmonary impedance (Z), and the recently developed hemodynamic index, time-corrected wave intensity (WI).
The main findings of this study were as follows. 1) Hypoxia increased MPAP, TPRI, ZィイD20ィエD2, ZィイD2cィエD2, Γ, and the first peak of WI, and decreased CI. 2) NO inhalation in NィイD22ィエD2 reduced ZィイD20ィエD2 and Γ. 3) NO inhalation in He reduced MPAP and the first peak of WI significantly, and further decreased ZィイD20ィエD2 and Γ.
In conclusion, NO inhalation balanced with He is a potential tool for enhancing the vasodilator effect of NO on pulmonary vessels or for reducing the NO concentration while maintaining adequate pulmonary vasodilation.
