BACKGROUND The haemodynamic and oxyforetic modifications induced by continuous infusion (c.i.) of Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and Nitroglycerin (NG) during experimental lung transplantation have been studied. METHODS Twenty lung transplants have been performed on pigs (Landrace). Haemodynamic monitoring consisted of ECG, femoral cannulation for arterial pressure and Swan Ganz catheter. Continuous infusion of drugs started during pneumonectomy. Data have been collected in phase 1: after the induction of anaesthesia; in phase 2: 30 min after the start of pulmonary vasodilation in one lung ventilation with left pulmonary artery clamped; in phase 3: 30 min after lung revascularization; in phase 4: at the end of the surgery. The animals have been divided in two groups. Group A consisted of 10 cases treated with 50 ng/kg/min in phase 2 and 25 ng/kg/min in phase 3 and 4 of PGE1; group B consisted of 10 cases treated with 1 ncg/kg/min in phase 2 and 0.5 ncg/kg/min in phase 3 and 4 of NG. RESULTS In phase 2 and 4 PA, RVSWI, PRVI increased in group B more than in group A (p < 0.05); in phase 3 PA, PAWP increased in group B more than in group A (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In our experience PGE1 has shown to be a stronger pulmonary vasodilator than NG. PGE1 can be considered the drug of choice for pulmonary vasodilation in experimental single lung transplantation, even if more investigations are needed for reaching the real goal of this procedure.

D000758 Anesthesia A state characterized by loss of feeling or sensation. This depression of nerve function is usually the result of pharmacologic action and is induced to allow performance of surgery or other painful procedures.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013552 Swine Any of various animals that constitute the family Suidae and comprise stout-bodied, short-legged omnivorous mammals with thick skin, usually covered with coarse bristles, a rather long mobile snout, and small tail. Included are the genera Babyrousa, Phacochoerus (wart hogs), and Sus, the latter containing the domestic pig (see SUS SCROFA).
