Why the study?
Does the optical multiple indicator dilution technique accurately measure lung permeability-surface area compared to radioisotope MID in anesthetized dogs?
Does the optical multiple indicator dilution technique accurately measure lung permeability-surface area compared to radioisotope MID in anesthetized dogs?
The optical multiple indicator dilution technique provides comparable lung permeability-surface area measurements to radioisotope methods, offering an acceptable alternative.
OMID matches radioisotope lung PS measurement in dogs; extends optical technique validation but leaves open human translation.
A device was designed to measure the change in optical density (/spl Delta/OD) of blood at selected wavelengths as a function of the concentration of optically absorbing multiple indicator dilution (MID) tracers. The optical MID (OMID) tracers selected for this measurement device and their corresponding wavelengths are the following: indocyanine green(ICG)-bound albumin measured at 820 nm, sulfhemoglobinated erythrocytes (Shb-RBC's) measured at 620 nm, and 1,2-propanediol measured at 9.55 /spl mu/m. Arterial blood from cannulated anesthetized dogs was circulated through an extracorporeal flow-through circuit which included this /spl Delta/OD measurement device. Calibration of the 820 nm and 620 nm channels produced r/sup 2/ of greater than 0.95 for the optical density-tracer mass regressions. The propanediol measurement channel (9.55 /spl mu/m) was also linearly calibrated. An in vivo optical MID study was performed and compared to a radioisotope MID study. Lung vascular permeability-surface area (PS) values calculated using the two methods were 5.76 and 5.73 mL/s. It is concluded that this OMID technique is an acceptable alternative to radioisotope MID studies.>
