Structured PICO

Does a noninvasive double-radioisotope method accurately and specifically measure pulmonary vascular protein leak in anesthetized dogs?

P
Population
Anesthetized dogs
I
Intervention
Noninvasive double-radioisotope measurement of pulmonary vascular protein leak using radiolabeled albumin (131I) and erythrocytes (99mTc) with external gamma probe counting
C
Comparator
Hydrostatic edema (elevated left atrial pressure) vs lung injury edema (high-dose 1.0 g/kg and low-dose 0.25 g/kg intravenous thiourea) vs controls
O
Outcome
Albumin leak index and gravimetric lung watersurrogate

A noninvasive double-radioisotope method is specific for lung injury and sensitive enough to detect injury before measurable pulmonary edema occurs.
