Neonatal lung injury from hyperoxia and mechanical hyperventilation was studied in newborn piglets hyperventilated (arterial PCO2 15-20 Torr) for 24-48 h with 100% O2 and compared with unventilated controls. Pulmonary function testing was performed, and biochemical indicators of lung injury were analyzed from tracheobronchial aspirates at 0, 24, and 48 h. Lung sections were obtained for light and electron microscopy, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was analyzed for surfactant composition and activity. At 24 h significant changes in tracheobronchial aspirate albumin concentrations (up 78%) and percent of polymorphonuclear cells (up 16%) were demonstrated. At 48 h a 35% decrease in dynamic lung compliance (P less than 0.05) and a 36% increase in pulmonary resistance (P less than 0.05) were noted. Further biochemical abnormalities occurred with total cell counts increased by 271% (P less than 0.02), albumin 163% (P less than 0.05), total protein 217% (P less than 0.01), and elastase 108% (P less than 0.02). Pathological analyses revealed mild lung injury at 24 h and marked inflammation, abnormal inflation patterns, flattening of Clara cells, fibrinous exudate and edema, early collagen formation, and cell necrosis observed at 48 h. Bronchoalveolar lavage surfactant had normal biophysical activity. Results demonstrate that exposure of neonatal piglets to O2 and mechanical hyperventilation for 48 h cause severe progressive lung injury.
