    International audienceThe objective of the present study is to extract new information from complex signals generated by Respiratory Inductive Plethysmography (RIP). This indirect cardio-respiratory (CR) measure is a well-known wearable solution. The authors applied time-scale analysis to estimate cardiac activity from thoracic volume variations, witnesses of CR interactions. Calibrated RIP signals gathered from 4 healthy volunteers in resting conditions are processed by Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition to extract cardiac volume signals and estimate stroke volumes. Averaged values of these stroke volumes (SVRIP) are compared with averaged values of stroke volumes determined simultaneously by electrical impedance cardiography (SVICG). There is a satisfactory correlation between SVRIP and SVICG (r=0.76, p<0.001) and the limits of agreement between the 2 types of measurements (±23%) satisfies the required criterion (±30%). The observed under-estimation (-58%) is argued. This validates the use of RIP for following stroke volume variations and suggests that one simple transducer can provide a quantitative exploration of both ventilatory and cardiac volumes

    We developed a new modality of broncho-alveolar lavage technique to measure repeatedly (every 15 min. during 4 hours), the capillary-alveolar permeability to a macromolecule (FITC-dextran). After an oleic acid lung injury, capillary-alveolar permeability to FITC-dextran reaches a peak within 30 minutes. Thereafter the permeability decreases slowly until the end of the experiment.We assessed the effects of terbutaline, a ÎČ2-agonist assumed to reduce in vitro the microvascular permeability in acute lung injury. Terbutaline infusion started 10 min. after oleic acid injury did not change the time course of permeability. Terbutaline infusion started 90 min. after injury interrupted the recovery with an aggravation in permeability. As cardiac index and pulmonary capillary pressure increased with terbutaline infusion, we speculate that terbutaline recruits leaky capillaries and increases FITC-dextran permeability during late recovery from oleic acid injury.Nous avons mis au point une mĂ©thode de lavage broncho-alvĂ©olaire permettant d'effectuer des mesures rĂ©pĂ©tĂ©es (toutes les 15 min. pendant 3h30.) de la permĂ©abilitĂ© capillaro-alvĂ©olaire Ă  une macromolĂ©cule (FITC-dextran). AprĂšs une lĂ©sion Ă  l'acide olĂ©ique (AO) on observe, en 30 minutes un pic de permĂ©abilitĂ© au FITC-dextran. La permĂ©abilitĂ© dĂ©croĂźt ensuite lentement jusqu'Ă  la fin de l'expĂ©rience.Nous avons testĂ© les effets de la terbutaline, un ÎČ2-agoniste rĂ©putĂ© rĂ©duire in vitro l'augmentation de permĂ©abilitĂ© dans les lĂ©sions pulmonaires inflammatoires. Une perfusion de terbutaline dĂ©butĂ©e 10 min. aprĂšs la lĂ©sion Ă  l'AO ne modifie pas l'Ă©volution de la permĂ©abilitĂ©. Une perfusion tardive de terbutaline (90 min. aprĂšs la lĂ©sion) aggrave la permĂ©abilitĂ©. Comme l'index cardiaque et la pression capillaire augmentent au cours de la perfusion de terbutaline, nous supposons que la terbutaline recrute des capillaires lĂ©sĂ©s et aggrave la permĂ©abilitĂ© Ă  la phase tardive de la lĂ©sion Ă  l'AO

    LĂ©sions d’ischĂ©mie-reperfusion en transplantation pulmonaire

    International audienceLung ischemia-reperfusion is characterized by diffuse alveolar damage arising from the first hours after transplantation.The first etiology of the primary graft dysfunction in lung is ischemia-reperfusion. It is burdened by an important morbi-mortality.Lung ischemia-reperfusion increases the oxidative stress, inactivates the sodium pump, increases the intracellular calcium, leads to cellular death and the liberation of pro-inflammatory mediators.Researches relative to the reduction of the lung ischemia-reperfusion injuries are numerous but few of them found a place in common clinical practice, because of an insufficient level of proofs.Ex vivolung evaluation is a suitable technique in order to evaluate therapeutics supposed to limit lung ischemia-reperfusion injuries
