چکیده

BACKGROUND Severe hemorrhage is associated with the disruption of the endothelial glycocalyx (EG), a key component of the endothelium. The effects of blood components on the EG are unknown. The present study furthers our investigations into the effects of resuscitation with blood products on the skeletal muscle microcirculation of hemorrhaged rats, focusing on packed red blood cells (PRBCs) or fresh whole blood (FWB). METHODS Rats were bled 40% of total blood volume and resuscitated with 1:1 PRBC/lactated Ringer's solution (LR), 1:1 washed PRBC (wPRBC)/LR, FWB or LR only. Sham animals were subjected to all procedures except hemorrhage and resuscitation. EG thickness, blood flow, and microvascular permeability were studied using intravital microscopy. Hemodynamics and coagulation tests (rotational thromboelastometry) were performed. RESULTS After severe hemorrhage, EG and permeability were restored to sham levels in the PRBC/LR and FWB groups, but not in the wPRBC/LR or LR groups. Clotting time was longer and clot elasticity and firmness were reduced in wPRBC/LR and LR, but not in FWB or PRBC/LR groups when compared with sham. CONCLUSION Resuscitation with FWB or PRBC/LR was superior in reversing coagulopathy, restoring EG and permeability changes following hemorrhage, compared with wPRBC/LR or LR alone. As wPRBC/LR did not improve EG and permeability, these data suggest that the removal of residual plasma protein from wPRBC or resuscitation with a protein-free solution (LR) is not able to improve microcirculation and coagulation functions in this severe hemorrhage model.

Plasma syndecan-1 and heparan sulfate correlate with microvascular glycocalyx degradation in hemorrhaged rats after different resuscitation fluids.

The endothelial glycocalyx plays an essential role in many physiological functions and is damaged after hemorrhage. Fluid resuscitation may further change the glycocalyx after an initial hemorrhage-induced degradation. Plasma levels of syndecan-1 and heparan sulfate have been used as indirect markers for glycocalyx degradation, but the extent to which these measures are representative of the ev...

In vivo evaluation of venular glycocalyx during hemorrhagic shock in rats using intravital microscopy.

Hemorrhage is responsible for a large percentage of trauma-related deaths but the mechanisms underlying tissue ischemia are complex and not well understood. Despite the evidence linking glycocalyx degradation and hemorrhagic shock, there is no direct data obtained in vivo showing glycocalyx thickness reduction in skeletal muscle venules after hemorrhage. We hypothesize that damage to the endoth...

Evaluation of resuscitation fluids on endothelial glycocalyx, venular blood flow, and coagulation function after hemorrhagic shock in rats.

BACKGROUND Endothelial glycocalyx (EG) plays an essential role in endothelium integrity and may be compromised by hemorrhagic shock. The effects of currently available resuscitation fluids such as Hextend (HEX) or lactated Ringer's solution (LR) on vascular function and coagulation are not well understood. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) with...

Low-volume resuscitation with normal saline is associated with microvascular endothelial dysfunction after hemorrhage in rats, compared to colloids and balanced crystalloids

BACKGROUND Restoration of endothelial glycocalyx (EG) barrier may be an essential therapeutic target for successful resuscitation. The aim of this study was to compare in vivo the effects of resuscitation with normal saline (NS) to lactated Ringer's solution (LR), 5% albumin and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) on their ability to maintain EG and barrier function integrity, mitigate endothelial injury...

The cerebral microcirculation is protected during experimental hemorrhagic shock.

OBJECTIVE Decreases in buccal microcirculation are indicative of the severity of hemorrhage, but incidental observations suggest that this may not apply to the cerebral microcirculation. We therefore hypothesized that the cerebral microcirculation may be preserved in hemorrhagic shock in which systemic and buccal microcirculatory flow are reduced. We propose to relate changes in the macrocircul...
