    ObjectiveTo evaluate whether hemoglobin-based oxygen-carrying solution (HBOC)-201 (Biopure) is an effective alternative to donor blood for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in a porcine model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).DesignRandomized animal clinical trial.SettingAnimal surgical research laboratory.SubjectsImmature Yorkshire swine were assigned to one of three groups: 1, noninjured animals, donor porcine blood primed circuit; 2, ARDS-injured, HBOC-201 primed circuit; or 3, ARDS-injured, donor blood primed.InterventionsARDS injury was induced in groups 2 and 3 with oleic acid infusion before bypass. All animals were placed on full venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for 8 hrs.Measurements And Main ResultsPhysiologic variables and laboratory samples were measured at baseline and hourly for 8 hrs. Data analysis consisted of repeated-measures analysis of variance with post hoc analysis. We found that 100% of animals survived on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for the duration of the study period. HBOC-supported animals had comparable oxygen delivery to both donor blood groups. Mean pulmonary artery pressure, heart rate, and lactate concentrations were higher in the injury groups. Blood pressure was mildly increased in HBOC animals (p <.05 vs. control animals). Methemoglobin concentrations in the HBOC group were elevated and increased over time on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (p <.001).ConclusionsHBOC-201 appears to be an effective alternative circuit-priming agent for use during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. HBOC offers the advantages of rapid availability and diminished donor blood cell exposure. The efficacy of HBOC in longer duration bypass, and its associated methemoglobinemia, need to be further investigated.
