The aim. Determine hemodynamic status and its impact on oxygen transport, frequency of adverse events outcomes in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
 Materials methods. A single-center prospective comparative study was conducted 29 enrolled over the period July—October 2020 who suffered a course coronavirus disease bilateral pneumonia ARD...

BACKGROUND Hypovolemia alters the effect of propofol in the rat by influencing the pharmacokinetics and the end organ sensitivity. We now studied the effect of hypovolemia on the anesthetic gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) because in contrast with propofol it increases blood pressure. METHODS Thirty-two rats were randomly assigned to undergo moderate hypovolemia or a control procedure. Each rat re...

To better understand the involvement of hindbrain catecholamine neurons in hypovolemia-induced secretion of AVP, we injected antidopamine beta-hydroxylase saporin (DSAP) or unconjugated saporin (SAP) control solution into the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVH) of anesthetized rats to retrogradely lesion catecholamine neurons innervating magnocellular areas of the hypothalamus. Subsequen...

BACKGROUND Respiratory-induced arterial and plethysmographic (pulse oximetry) waveform changes were shown to be good predictors of cardiac output response to increased preload. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of arterial and plethysmographic waveform variables in patients with mild hypovolemia. METHODS Patients undergoing autologous hemodilution were studied. After anest...

Since human thermoregulatory heat loss responses, cutaneous vasodilation and sweating, cause hypovolemia, they should resultantly stimulate human baroreflexes. However, it is possible that the thermoregulatory system directly interacts with the baroreflex system through central neural connections independently of the heat-induced hypovolemia. We hypothesized that heat stress modifies the barore...

The present studies investigated the influence of presystemic signals on the control of thirst, salt appetite, and vasopressin (VP) secretion in rats during nonhypotensive hypovolemia. Rats were injected with 30% polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution, deprived of food and water overnight, and then allowed to drink water, 0.15 M NaCl, or 0.30 M NaCl. The PEG treatment, which produced 30-40% plasma ...

Higher oscillations of cerebral blood velocity and arterial pressure (AP) induced by breathing with inspiratory resistance are associated with delayed onset of symptoms and increased tolerance to central hypovolemia. We tested the hypothesis that subjects with high tolerance (HT) to central hypovolemia would display higher endogenous oscillations of cerebral blood velocity and AP at presyncope ...

Homeostatic control of extracellular fluid osmolality in rats requires a parallel excitation of vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) neurosecretory neurons by osmoreceptor afferents to regulate the amount of water and sodium in the urine under normal conditions. However, during decreased blood volume (hypovolemia), natriuresis is suppressed, whereas osmotically driven antidiuresis is enhanced to ...
