Abstract:
Background: The hemodynamic profile of rats randomized into prolonged normothermic (NT, 37±0.5°C), mild hypothermic (MH, 33±0.5°C) or deep hypothermic (DH, 27±0.5°C) reperfusion with emergency cardiopulmonary bypass (ECPB), following refractory ventricular fibrillation cardiac arrest (VF CA) was explored. Methods: Fifty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were put on bypass for 15 min, following 10 min of VF CA. The ECPB setup included a circulating water bath which temperature controlled all animals at target. After 15 min, rats were defibrillated, weaned from bypass, and controlled at 33°C (MH, DH) or 37°C (NT) externally. All rats received a single dose of epinephrine (30 μg/kg), heparin and sodium bicarbonate with the crystalloid priming of the ECPB circuit. ECPB flow rate was kept at 100 mL/kg in all groups. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was continuously monitored in the femoral artery and is presented as median with 25th/75th quartile mmHg. Results: See figure. There was no difference in MAP before or during CA. For the first 5 min of resuscitation, MAP at a given ECPB flow rate was highest in the DH group (DH 84(69;89), MH 51(49;61), NT 48(37;55) , p = 〈 .001). This was reversed during the last 5 min on bypass (DH 35(30;42), MH 44(37;64), NT 42(33;67), p = .034). For 10 min off bypass, the DH group was relatively hypotensive (DH 46(40;62, MH 64(60;77), NT 61(54;77), p = .005), which was again reversed for the remaining post resuscitation period (DH 68(60;78), MH 59(54;66), NT 53(49;62), p = .008). Conclusions: While the temperature profiles of NT and MH reperfusion were similar, DH caused initially higher pressures followed by a period of hypotension as compared to NT and MH groups at identical epinephrine doses and ECPB flow rates. Off bypass, DH animals were again relatively hypotensive, coinciding with their rewarming to mild hypothermia. Further experiments are needed to determine the cause of this, like hypothermic vasoconstriction, or altered pharmacokinetics.
