The goal of this method is to create a model of acute respiratory failure using a pulmonary surfactant washout to induce lung atelectasis, hypoxemia, and pulmonary hypertension, important pathophysiological aspects of human acute respiratory distr

Repeated pulmonary lavages in anesthetized pigs induce lung injury resembling major aspects of human acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). For this purpose the lungs are repeatedly lavaged with 0.9% saline at 37 °C. The goal of the protocol is a reproducible mitigation of gas exchange and hemodynamics for research in ARDS.
