During cardiac surgery, bypass pumps rely on pressure monitors to evaluate flow. We studied whether it would be possible to optimize pump flow by monitoring changes in cerebral cytochromea,a3using NIRS to maintain cyt redox status at its pre-bypass level.Method: 18 healthy 7–45 kg swine were placed on bypass for repeated cycles of cooling and re-warming from 36 to 15 to 36°C in 3°C steps. Between each cycle, the swine's bypass pump blood flow rate was adjusted to restore cytochrome redox status to its pre-bypass value.Results: In all swine trials, the number of pump flow alterations imposed by NIRS monitoring ranged from 0 to 42, the average being 14 per trial. The best trial had 22 pump flow adjustments during which the range of cytochrome redox status change was 0.50±0.06μmol l–1. The average trial had a range of cytochrome redox status change of 1.50±0.22μmol l–1.Conclusion: NIRS-driven alterations in pump flow rate to maintain pre-bypass cytochrome redox status can be achieved successfully in the animal model.

Hepatic blood flow was investigated in two groups of eight anaesthetized dogs during and after one hour of either pulsatile or non-pulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Mean perfusion pressure was maintained at 60 mmHg. Hepatic arterial (HA) and portal venous (PV) blood flows were measured using electromagnetic flow probes, and hepatic O 2 consumption determined. The results demonstrate that: (a) pulsatile CPB reduces peripheral vascular resistance during and after perfusion, and more effectively preserves pump flow rate and cardiac output than non-pulsatile CPB; (b) total liver blood flow is sustained more effectively by pulsatile CPB than by non-pulsatile CPB due to relative preservation of both HA and PV flows; (c) hepatic O2 consumption is only marginally better preserved during and after pulsatile CPB than with non-pulsatile perfusion. We conclude that: (a) pulsatile CPB tends to maintain hepatic blood flow through a relative reduction in HA vascular resistance and an improvement in PV flow produced passively by a greater pump flow rate; (b) pulsatile CPB less effectively benefits hepatic O2 consumption because of poor O2 uptake from the hepatic PV blood supply.

Oxygen consumption was measured in 10 anaesthetized, surgically instrumented domestic pigs on cardiopulmonary bypass while cardiac output (pump flow rate) was decreased. Oxygen consumption data (calculated by the Fick principle from blood flow rate and arterial and mixed venous content measurements) were plotted against total oxygen transport (TOT=QCaO2, where Q is pump flow rate and CaO2 is arterial blood oxygen content). Oxygen consumption (VO2) measurements were made in each animal at two haematocrits (approximately 30%, which is normal for pigs, and approximately 15%). In five of the animals (Group I) the measurements were made with normal haematocrit first, the blood was then haemodiluted with plasma or Dextran, and the measurements were repeated. In the remaining five animals (Group II), the haematocrit orderwas reversed. The plots showed two regions: above a certain value of TOT which we call critical TOT, VO2 was relatively independent of TOT, while at lower values of TOT, VO2 decreased approximately linearly with TOT. At the low haematocrit, the critical TOT (±S.E.M) was significantly lower ( P <0.05) than at normal haematocrit (6.9 ± 0.9 vs. 10.7 ± 1.2 ml/min/kg). Below the critical TOT, the curves for the two haematocrit levels were not significantly different. Above the critical TOT, the average VO2 was lower at the low haematocrit than at the normal haematocrit (6.0 ± 0.6 vs. 8.8 ± 1.1 ml/min/kg).

Furosemide (40 μg/min) was perfused directly into the renal artery of dogs in whom the femoral blood pressure was reduced (80 mm Hg) by aortic clamping above the renal arteries. This maneuver, which does not influence the intrarenal blood flow distribution, produced significant decreases of the urine volume, natriuresis, Ccreat, and CPAH, and prevented the marked diuresis normally produced by furosemide. Therefore the chances that systemic physiological changes occurred, secondary to large fluid movements, were minimized. In those conditions, however, furosemide produced a significant increase of the urine output and sodium excretion in the experimental kidney whereas Ccreat and CPAH were not affected. The outer cortical blood flow rate (ml/100 g-min) was modified neither by aortic constriction (562 ± 68 versus 569 ± 83) nor by the subsequent administration of furosemide (424 ± 70). The blood flow rate of the outer medulla in these three conditions remained unchanged (147 ± 52 versus 171 ± 44 versus 159 ± 54). The initial distribution of the radioactivity in each compartment remained comparable in the three conditions. In parallel with the results from the krypton-85 disappearance curves, the autoradiograms, silicone rubber casts, and EPAH did not suggest any change in the renal blood flow distribution secondary to furosemide administration.
