Abstract
The severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) may be reduced if oxygen can be rapidly provided to the injured brain. This study evaluated if the oxygen-carrier M101 causes vasoconstricton of pial vasculature in healthy rats (Experiment 1) and if M101 improves brain tissue oxygen (PbtO2) in rats with controlled cortical impact (CCI)-TBI (Experiment 2). M101 (12.5 mL/kg intravenous [IV] over 2 h) caused a mild (9 mm Hg) increase in the mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) of healthy rats without constriction of cerebral pial arterioles. M101 (12 mL/kg IV over 1 h) caused a modest (27 mm Hg) increase in MAP (peak, 123 ± 5 mm Hg [mean ± standard error of the mean]) of CCI-TBI rats and restored PbtO2 to near pre-injury levels. In both M101 and untreated control (NON) groups, PbtO2 was ∼30 ± 2 mm Hg pre-injury and decreased (p ≤ 0.05) to ∼16 ± 2 mm Hg 15 min after CCI. In NON, PbtO2 remained ∼50% of baseline but M101 administration resulted in a sustained increase in PbtO2 (peak, 25 ± 5 mm Hg), which was not significantly different from pre-injury until the end of the study, when it decreased again below pre-injury (but was still higher than NON). Histopathology showed no differences between groups. In conclusion, M101 increased systemic blood pressures without concurrent cerebral pial vasoconstriction (in healthy rats) and restored PbtO2 to 86% of pre-injury for at least 80 min when given soon after CCI-TBI. M101 should be evaluated in a clinically-relevant large animal model for pre-hospital treatment of TBI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between cardiac index (CI) response to a fluid challenge and changes in brain tissue oxygen pressure (PbtO(2)) in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS Prospective observational study was conducted in a neurological intensive care unit of a university hospital. Fifty-seven fluid challenges were administered to ten consecutive comatose SAH patients that underwent multimodality monitoring of CI, intracranial pressure (ICP), and PbtO(2), according to a standardized fluid management protocol. RESULTS The relationship between CI and PbtO(2) was analyzed with logistic regression utilizing generalized estimating equations. Of the 57 fluid boluses analyzed, 27 (47 %) resulted in a ≥ 10 % increase in CI. Median absolute (+5.8 vs. +1.3 mmHg) and percent (20.7 vs. 3.5 %) changes in PbtO(2) were greater in CI responders than in non-responders within 30 min after the end of the fluid bolus infusion. In a multivariable model, a CI response was independently associated with PbtO(2) response (adjusted odds ratio 21.5, 95 % CI 1.4-324, P = 0.03) after adjusting for mean arterial pressure change and end-tidal CO(2). Stroke volume variation showed a good ability to predict CI and PbtO(2) response with areas under the ROC curve of 0.86 and 0.81 with the best cut-off values of 9 % for both responses. CONCLUSION Bolus fluid resuscitation resulting in augmentation of CI can improve cerebral oxygenation after SAH.

Abstract
This study determined the effects of serial, normovolemic, stepwise exchange transfusions with either 6% human serum albumin (HSA) or the hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier, HBOC-201, on tissue oxygenation of the heart, brain, and kidney in intact anaesthetized pigs. Exchange transfusions to 10%, 30%, and 50% of the pigs' total blood volume were completed at a withdrawal rate of 1.0 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1) followed by an infusion rate of 0.5 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1) of HBOC-201 or iso-oncotically matched 6% HSA. Measurements included invasive systemic hemodynamic (blood pressures, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure), hematolic (hemoglobin, hematocrit, methemoglobin), acid-base (pH, PCO2), and biochemistry (serum lactate) measurements. Brain and kidney tissue oxygenation (tPO2) was determined by electron paramagnetic resonance and heart tPO2 by O2 sensitive fiberoptic probe. The main results demonstrated that tPO2 after HBOC-201 remained stable despite significant decreases in hematocrit and changing hemodynamics. In vivo tPO2 measurements (heart tPO2 average ≥22 mmHg, brain tPO2 average ≥8 mmHg, and kidney tPO2 average ≥10 mmHg) were maintained in all groups at all times. Blood pressures were 20 to 30 mmHg higher after HBOC-201 compared with HSA controls. Heart rate and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure were not different among treatment groups. In conclusion, the administration of HBOC-201 maintained tPO2 in three vital organs after profound hemodilution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOC) of several types scavenge nitric oxide from the vasculature resulting in vasoconstriction and hypertension, both systemic and pulmonary. Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors promote nitric oxide activity and enhance vasodilation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether combined therapy of glutaraldehyde-polymerized bovine hemoglobin (HBOC) with a PDE5 inhibitor would counter the negative hemodynamic consequences of HBOC therapy alone, resulting in improved hemodynamics and oxygen delivery. DESIGN A controlled, experimental study. SETTING A research laboratory at a university. SUBJECTS Conscious male Sprague-Dawley rats. INTERVENTIONS Glutaraldehyde-polymerized bovine hemoglobin (HBOC), sildenafil (PDE5 inhibitor), and lactated Ringer's solution (control). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Infusion of the HBOC resulted in significant (p < 0.05) systemic and pulmonary vasoconstriction, with reduced cardiac output and reduced oxygen delivery to the periphery. Infusion of lactated Ringer's demonstrated no changes in the measured variables. Infusion of sildenafil alone reduced systemic and pulmonary artery blood pressure, while maintaining cardiac output and oxygen delivery. Combined HBOC and sildenafil infusion resulted in stable systemic blood pressure, cardiac output, and oxygen delivery. However, the addition of sildenafil to HBOC did not fully ameliorate the pulmonary vasoconstriction caused by HBOC. CONCLUSION The HBOC used in this study resulted in pulmonary and systemic hypertension, reduced cardiac output, and oxygen delivery. These negative consequences of HBOC treatment can be largely overcome by combing HBOC treatment with a PDE5 inhibitor (sildenafil). Thus, these data support the continued investigation of combined HBOC and PDE5 inhibitor treatment in circumstances in which HBOC therapy is being considered.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) are being developed as a potential therapy for increasing tissue oxygenation, yet they have not reached their full potential because of unwanted hemodynamic side effects (vasoconstriction, low cardiac output, and oxygen delivery) due in part to nitric oxide (NO) scavenging by cell-free Hb. It may be possible to overcome the NO scavenging effect by coinfusing S-nitrosylated (SNO) HBOC along with unmodified HBOC. SNO-HBOC, like free Hb, may act as an NO donor in low-oxygen conditions. We hypothesized that an unaltered HBOC, polymerized bovine Hb (PBvHb), coinfused with an SNO-PBvHb, would improve hemodynamics and oxygen delivery during hypoxia. Vascular oxygen content and hemodynamics were determined after euvolemic rats were infused (3 ml) with lactated Ringer's solution, PBvHb, SNO-PBvHb, or PBvHb plus SNO-PBvHb (1:10) during normoxia or acute hypoxia (fraction of inspired oxygen = 10%, 120 min). Hemodynamic side effects resulting from PBvHb infusion (vasoconstriction, elevated pulmonary blood pressure, and reduced cardiac output) were offset by SNO-PBvHb in acute hypoxic, but not normoxic, conditions. These data support the potential use of HBOC mixed with SNO-HBOC for the treatment of conditions in which acute hypoxia is present, such as tumor oxygenation, wound healing, hemorrhagic trauma, and sickle cell and hemolytic anemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A prehospital trial in trauma patients has been proposed to evaluate Hemopure (hemoglobin glutamer-250 [bovine], hemoglobin-based oxygen carrying compound [HBOC]-201, Biopure). We tested the hypothesis that HBOC-201 would improve cerebrovascular resuscitation in a unique polytrauma model. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, blinded animal study. SUBJECTS Thirty-two anesthetized swine (42 +/- 1 kg). INTERVENTIONS Blunt trauma to the head, right chest, and bilateral femurs (Injury Severity Score = 27-41) with captive bolt guns was followed by hypoventilation. Resuscitation was divided into phases to simulate conventional treatment in the prehospital, emergency room, and early intensive care unit. For 30-60 mins postinjury, 500 mL of either normal saline (control, n = 14) or HBOC-201 (n = 14) was administered. All received similar care thereafter. For 60-120 mins, normal saline maintained systolic arterial pressure >100 mm Hg and heart rate <100 beats/min plus mannitol (250 mg/kg) for intracranial hypertension. For 120-480 mins, phenylephrine, normal saline, and dextrose were administered to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure >70 mm Hg, filling pressure >12 mm Hg, and plasma glucose >60 mg%, respectively. Two formulations of HBOC-201 (average MW = 250 kDa) were tested: one with <3% 65 kDa tetramers (n = 7) and the other with <0.3% 65 kDa tetramers (n = 7). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Injury severity is reflected by the death of 2 of 32 swine within 30 mins. In survivors (n = 30), systolic arterial pressure was 83 +/- 6 mm Hg, heart rate was 115 +/- 5 beats/min, and lactate was 5.8 +/- 0.4 mM. Intracranial pressure rose from 8 +/- 1 to 18 +/- 1 mm Hg and brain tissue PO2 fell from 17 +/- 1 to 2 +/- 1 mm Hg. Without immediate resuscitation, death occurred within 60 mins (n = 2). With normal saline resuscitation (n = 14), systemic hemodynamics, mixed venous oxygen, renal oxygen, portal oxygen, and muscle oxygen corrected but there were four deaths (two at 45 mins, one at 100 mins, and one at 200 mins). Cerebral perfusion pressure was not restored until mannitol and pressor therapy were initiated at 120 mins. In contrast, with HBOC-201 at 30 mins (n = 14), systolic arterial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure corrected immediately (both p < 0.05) and there were no deaths (p = 0.0978). After 8 hrs, in both groups, cerebral perfusion pressure, systolic arterial pressure, and heart rate were stable; peripheral oxygen saturations were near normal; lactate was cleared; urine output was adequate. However, with HBOC-201, pressor and fluid requirements were reduced by half, which improved intracranial pressure and brain tissue PO2 (all p < 0.05 vs. control). Reducing tetramer content had no significant effect on the actions of HBOC-201. CONCLUSIONS 1) A single bolus of HBOC-201 at initial resuscitation rapidly restored cerebral perfusion pressure and stabilized hemodynamics with improved intracranial pressure and brain oxygen for the first 8 hrs; and 2) HBOC-201 could be an effective salvage therapy after severe neurotrauma or as a temporizing measure during prolonged transport of a polytrauma patient.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite the growing clinical use of brain tissue oxygen monitoring, the specific determinants of low brain tissue oxygen tension (P(bt)O2) following severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain poorly defined. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether P(bt)O2 more closely reflects variables related to cerebral oxygen diffusion or reflects cerebral oxygen delivery and metabolism. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Level I trauma center. PATIENTS Fourteen TBI patients with advanced neuromonitoring underwent an oxygen challenge (increase in FiO2 to 1.0) to assess tissue oxygen reactivity, pressure challenge (increase in mean arterial pressure) to assess autoregulation, and CO2 challenge (hyperventilation) to assess cerebral vasoreactivity. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS P(bt)O2 was measured directly with a parenchymal probe in the least-injured hemisphere. Local cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured with a parenchymal thermal diffusion probe. Cerebral venous blood gases were drawn from a jugular bulb venous catheter. We performed 119 measurements of PaO2, arterial oxygen content (CaO2), jugular bulb venous oxygen tension (PVO2), venous oxygen content (CVO2), arteriovenous oxygen content difference (AVDO2), and local cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (locCMRO2). In multivariable analysis adjusting for various variables of cerebral oxygen delivery and metabolism, the only statistically significant relationship was that between P(bt)O2 and the product of CBF and cerebral arteriovenous oxygen tension difference (AVTO2), suggesting a strong association between brain tissue oxygen tension and diffusion of dissolved plasma oxygen across the blood-brain barrier. CONCLUSIONS Measurements of P(bt)O2 represent the product of CBF and the cerebral AVTO2 rather than a direct measurement of total oxygen delivery or cerebral oxygen metabolism. This improved understanding of the cerebral physiology of P(bt)O2 should enhance the clinical utility of brain tissue oxygen monitoring in patients with TBI.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study assessed the effect of oxygen affinity and molecular weight (MW) of o-raffinose cross-linked hemoglobin based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) on cerebral oxygen delivery and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) following hemorrhage and resuscitation in rats. METHODS Isoflurane anesthetized rats (n = 6-7 per group) underwent 30% hemorrhage and resuscitation with an equivalent volume of one of three different HBOCs: 1) High P50 Poly o-raffinose hemoglobin (Poly OR-Hb, P50 = 70 mmHg); 2) High P50 > 128 Poly OR-Hb (MW > 128 kDa, P50 = 70 mmHg) and 3) Low P50 > 128 Poly OR-Hb (MW >128 kDa, P50 = 11 mmHg). Hippocampal cerebral tissue oxygen tension, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), MAP, total hemoglobin concentration and arterial blood gases were measured. Data analysis by two-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests determined significance (P < 0.05, mean +/- SD). RESULTS Hippocampal tissue oxygen tension increased in all HBOC groups following resuscitation. The rCBF remained unchanged after HBOC resuscitation in all groups. Following resuscitation, the peak MAP was higher in the High P50 Poly OR-Hb group (152 +/- 13 mmHg) when compared to either the Low or High P50 large MW, (> 128 kDa) HBOC group (119 +/- 15 mmHg or 127 +/- 18 respectively, P < 0.05 for both). CONCLUSIONS O-raffinose polymerized HBOC, with or without lower MW components, maintained cerebral tissue oxygen delivery following hemorrhage and resuscitation in rats. The higher MW HBOCs showed a decrease in peak MAP, which did not alter oxygen delivery. No significant effect of oxygen affinity on cerebral tissue oxygen tension or blood flow was observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data are limited on the actions of hemoglobin based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study evaluates neurotoxicity, vasoactivity, cardiac toxicity, and inflammatory activity of HBOC-201 (Biopure, Cambridge, Mass.) resuscitation in a TBI model. METHODS Swine received TBI and hemorrhage. After 30 minutes, resuscitation was initiated with 10 mL/kg normal saline (NS), followed by either HBOC-201 (6 mL/kg, n = 10) or NS control (n = 10). Supplemental NS was administered to both groups to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) >60 mm Hg until 60 minutes, and to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) >70 mm Hg from 60 to 300 minutes. The control group received mannitol (1 g/kg) and blood (10 mL/kg) at 90 minutes and half (n = 5) received CPP directed phenylephrine (PE) therapy after 120 minutes. Serum cytokines were measured with ELISA and coagulation was evaluated with thromboelastography. Brains were harvested for neuropathology. RESULTS With HBOC administration, MAP, CPP, and brain tissue PO2 were restored within 30 minutes and maintained until 300 minutes. Clot strength and fibrin formation were maintained and 9/10 successfully extubated. In contrast, with control, MAP and brain tissue PO2 did not correct until 120 minutes, after mannitol, transfusion and 40% more crystalloid. Furthermore, without PE, CPP did not reach target and 0/5 could be extubated. Lactate, heart rate, cardiac output, mixed venous oxygenation, muscle oxygenation, serum cytokines, and histology did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS After TBI, a single HBOC-201 bolus with minimal supplements provided rapid resuscitation, while maintaining CPP and improving brain oxygenation, without causing cardiac dysfunction, coagulopathy, cytokine release, or brain structural changes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test our hypothesis that hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC)-201 resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock (HS) will not lead to increased organ injury and dysfunction. DESIGN Three swine HS models simulating military-relevant delayed evacuation: a) moderate controlled HS, b) severe controlled HS, and c) severe uncontrolled HS. SETTING Military research laboratory. SUBJECTS Swine. INTERVENTIONS Swine were anesthetized/intubated and instrumented. To induce HS, in two controlled hemorrhage experiments, 40% (moderate controlled HS) or 55% (severe controlled HS) of blood volume was withdrawn; in an uncontrolled HS experiment, the liver was crushed/lacerated. During a 4-hr "prehospital phase," pigs were resuscitated with HBOC-201 (HBOC) or Hextend (HEX) or were nonresuscitated (NON). Upon "hospital arrival," liver injury was repaired (severe uncontrolled HS), blood or saline was infused, hemodynamics were monitored, and blood was collected. Upon animal death and/or 72 hrs, necropsy was followed by histopathologic evaluation of organ injury (hematoxylin and eosin, electron microscopy) and immunohistochemistry of oxidative potential (3-nitrotyrosine). Significance (p < .05) was assessed by Kruskal-Wallis, analysis of variance/Bonferroni, and mixed procedure tests. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Survival was significantly higher with HBOC than HEX only with severe uncontrolled HS (p = .002). Myocardial necrosis/fibroplasia, fluid requirements, cardiac output, and cardiac enzymes were generally similar or lower in HBOC than HEX pigs, but creatine kinase-MB (but not creatine kinase-MB/creatine kinase ratio) was higher with HBOC in moderate controlled HS. Alveolar/interstitial pulmonary edema was similar with HBOC and HEX, but Po2 was higher with HBOC in severe uncontrolled HS. Jejunal villar epithelial and hepatocellular necrosis were similarly minimal to moderate in all groups. Minimal biliary changes occurred exclusively with HBOC. Aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase were generally higher with HBOC than HEX. Mild renal papillary injury occurred more frequently with HBOC, but consistent patterns for urine output, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine, were not seen. The 3-nitrotyrosine staining intensity was not different. CONCLUSIONS In comparison with hetastarch, HBOC-201 resuscitation of swine with HS increased survival (with severe HS), did not increase evidence of oxidative potential, and had histopathologic and/or functional effects on organs that were clinically equivocal (myocardium, lungs, hepatic parenchyma, jejunum, and renal cortex/medulla) and potentially adverse (hepatobiliary and renal papilla). The effects of HBOC-201-resuscitation in HS should be corroborated in controlled clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As HBOC-201 improves outcome in animals with hemorrhagic shock (HS), we compared HBOC-201 and HEX (used by U.S. military special operations forces) in a swine model of delayed evacuation and uncontrolled HS. METHODS Twenty-four Yucatan pigs underwent a grade III liver injury and were resuscitated with HBOC-201, HEX, or no fluid (NON). Additional infusions were given for hypotension or tachycardia. After 4 hours, the liver was repaired; IV fluids and blood transfusions were administered. Pigs were monitored for 72 hours. RESULTS Survival was 7/8, 1/8, and 1/8 in HBOC-201-, HEX-, and NON-resuscitated pigs, respectively. Compared with HEX, HBOC-201 pigs had higher systemic and pulmonary artery pressures and had comparable cardiac outputs, but were less tachycardic. Transcutaneous tissue oxygenation was restored more rapidly in HBOC-201 pigs, there was a trend to lower lactic acid, and base deficit was less. HBOC-201 pigs had lower fluid requirements, higher urine output, and lower blood loss than HEX pigs. CONCLUSIONS Despite evidence of vasoactivity, HBOC-201 more effectively stabilized tissue oxygenation, reversed anaerobic metabolism, decreased bleeding, and increased survival in comparison with HEX. If confirmed in clinical trials, these data suggest that for the resuscitation of combat casualties with delayed evacuation and uncontrolled HS due to solid organ injury, HBOC-201 is a superior low-volume resuscitative fluid.
