We evaluated the safety and efficacy of partial liquid ventilation (PLV) with perflubron in adult patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in a multicenter, prospective, controlled, randomized exploratory clinical trial. Ninety adult patients with Pa-O2/Fl(O2) ratios > 60 and < 300 with ARDS for no more than 24 hours were randomized to receive PLV (n = 65) with administration of perflubron through an endotracheal tube sideport or conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV, n = 25) for a maximum of five days. Although a significant reduction in progression to ARDS was noted among patients with PLV, no significant differences in the number of days free from the ventilator at 28 days (CMV = 6.7 +/- 1.8, PLV = 6.3 +/- 1.0 days, p = 0.85), the incidence of mortality (CMV = 36%, PLV = 42%, p = 0.63), or any pulmonary-related parameter were observed. During a post hoc subgroup analysis, significantly more rapid discontinuation of mechanical ventilation (p = 0.045) and a trend toward an increase in the number of days free from the ventilator at 28 days (CMV = 3.2 +/- 1.9, PLV = 8.0 +/- 2.2 days, p = 0.06) were observed during PLV among those patients under 55 years of age with acute lung injury or ARDS. Episodes of hypoxia, respiratory acidosis, and bradycardia occurred more frequently in the PLV group, but these were transient and self-limited. Further evaluation of PLV is warranted to further define beneficial effects in well-defined groups of patients and also to gain additional information regarding safety.
