This study was designed to investigate whether the inflammatory responses and deterioration of oxygenation in ventilator-associated lung injury are attenuated by high-frequency oscillatory ventilation HFO . We analyzed the effects of HFO compared with conventional mechanical ventilation CMV on the activation of pulmonary macrophages and neutrophils in 10 female rabbits. Results After surfactant depletion the rabbits were ventilated by CMV or HFO at the same mean airway pressure. Surfactant-depletion followed by 4 h mechanical ventilation hindered pulmonary oxygenation in both groups. Impairment of oxygenation was less severe in the HFO group than in the CMV group. In the HFO group the infiltration of granulocytes into alveolar spaces occurred more readily than in the CMV group compared with CMV HFO resulted in greater attenuation of p2-integrin expression not only on granulocytes but also on macrophages. conclusions In the surfactant-depleted lung the activation of leukocytes was attenuated by HFO. Reduced inflammatory response correlated with decreased impairment of oxygenation. HFO may reduce lung injury via the attenuation of
