Outline of Final Research Achievements

Mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome is simply used to assist or replace spontaneous breathing and does not directly improve lung damage. We previously reported that the oxygen micro/nano-bubbles containing a sufficient amount of oxygen are useful in producing oxygen-rich liquid suitable for liquid ventilation, and a total liquid ventilation system was established using saline-based oxygen micro/nano-bubble dispersions in rats. In this study, we investigated whether lung damage can be improved by removing pathogens by temporary total liquid ventilation in rat acute respiratory distress syndrome model. We conducted experiments about 1) optimization of liquid ventilation condition, 2) evaluation of returning to general gas ventilation from liquid ventilation, 3) preparation of ARDS model rats.
