Abstract
ABSTRACT Background: After severe injury, optical measures of microvascular blood flow (MBF) decrease and do not normalize with resuscitation to normal blood pressure. These changes are associated with organ dysfunction, coagulopathy, and death. However, the pathophysiology is not well understood. Several possible pathways could also contribute to the development of trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC). A small-animal model of trauma-related MBF derangement that persists after resuscitation and includes TIC would facilitate further study. Parametric contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is particularly advantageous in this setting, because it noninvasively assesses MBF in large, deep vascular beds. We sought to develop such a model, measuring MBF with CEUS. Methods: Sixteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized, ventilated, and cannulated. Rats were subjected to either no injury (sham group) or a standardized polytrauma and pressure-targeted arterial catheter hemorrhage with subsequent whole blood resuscitation (trauma group). At prespecified time points, CEUS measurements of uninjured quadriceps muscle, viscoelastic blood clot strength, and complete blood counts were taken. Results: After resuscitation, blood pressure normalized, but MBF decreased and remained low for the rest of the protocol. This was primarily driven by a decrease in blood volume with a relative sparing of blood velocity. Viscoelastic blood clot strength and platelet count also decreased and remained low throughout the protocol. Conclusion: We present a rat model of MBF derangement in uninjured skeletal muscle and coagulopathy after polytrauma that persists after resuscitation with whole blood to normal macrohemodynamics. Parametric CEUS analysis shows that this change is primarily due to microvascular obstruction. This platform can be used to develop a deeper understanding of this important process.

Kidney Microcirculation as a Target for Innovative Therapies in AKI. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10184041.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious multifactorial conditions accompanied by the loss of function and damage. The renal microcirculation plays a crucial role in maintaining the kidney’s functional and structural integrity for oxygen and nutrient supply and waste product removal. However, alterations in microcirculation and oxygenation due to renal perfusion defects, hypoxia, renal tubular, and endothelial damage can result in AKI and the loss of renal function regardless of systemic hemodynamic changes. The unique structural organization of the renal microvasculature and the presence of autoregulation make it difficult to understand the mechanisms and the occurrence of AKI following disorders such as septic, hemorrhagic, or cardiogenic shock; ischemia/reperfusion; chronic heart failure; cardiorenal syndrome; and hemodilution. In this review, we describe the organization of microcirculation, autoregulation, and pathophysiological alterations leading to AKI. We then suggest innovative therapies focused on the protection of the renal microcirculation and oxygenation to prevent AKI.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal (GI) system, is most vulnerable to hypoperfusion among the splanchnic organs. Disturbed perfusion of the mesenteric area may lead to GI dysfunction, cause further injury to the patients and even vital outcomes. However, due to the limitation of detection methods, the hemodynamic influences on mesenteric blood flow in clinical practice are not fully understood. By elucidating the underlying mechanisms, we may be able to recognize disturbed GI perfusion and eventually GI dysfunction at an early phase. Thus, in this review, we will focus on situations where mesenteric blood flow is disturbed due to hemodynamic causes in shock conditions, and the present research status will be discussed. English language articles published before 2020 were identified through a computerized PubMed search using the terms "mesenteric, gastrointestinal, intestinal, splanchnic, blood flow, perfusion" and the cofactors. Relevant publications were retrieved and scanned for additional sources. There were few clinical trials focusing on mesenteric blood flow in shock patients. Most were animal experiments. Based on the best current evidence from these sources, we described the major influences on mesenteric blood flow in the context of physiologic accommodation, disease-related effects and the consequences of medical interventions related to shock conditions. During circulatory shock, sepsis, and medical interventions related to shock treatment, mesenteric blood flow changes and shows different features. We need to carefully consider these issues when making medical decisions, and more work needs to be done on early detection of GI hypoperfusion and its accurate correlation with GI dysfunction.

The use of pulse pressure variation for predicting impairment of microcirculatory blood flow. Sci Rep 2021; 11:9215.

Abstract
Dynamic parameters of preload have been widely recommended to guide fluid therapy based on the principle of fluid responsiveness and with regard to cardiac output. An equally important aspect is however to also avoid volume-overload. This accounts particularly when capillary leakage is present and volume-overload will promote impairment of microcirculatory blood flow. The aim of this study was to evaluate, whether an impairment of intestinal microcirculation caused by volume-load potentially can be predicted using pulse pressure variation in an experimental model of ischemia/reperfusion injury. The study was designed as a prospective explorative large animal pilot study. The study was performed in 8 anesthetized domestic pigs (German landrace). Ischemia/reperfusion was induced during aortic surgery. 6 h after ischemia/reperfusion-injury measurements were performed during 4 consecutive volume-loading-steps, each consisting of 6 ml kg−1 bodyweight−1. Mean microcirculatory blood flow (mean Flux) of the ileum was measured using direct laser-speckle-contrast-imaging. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to determine the ability of pulse pressure variation to predict a decrease in microcirculation. A reduction of ≥ 10% mean Flux was considered a relevant decrease. After ischemia–reperfusion, volume-loading-steps led to a significant increase of cardiac output as well as mean arterial pressure, while pulse pressure variation and mean Flux were significantly reduced (Pairwise comparison ischemia/reperfusion-injury vs. volume loading step no. 4): cardiac output (l min−1) 1.68 (1.02–2.35) versus 2.84 (2.15–3.53), p = 0.002, mean arterial pressure (mmHg) 29.89 (21.65–38.12) versus 52.34 (43.55–61.14), p < 0.001, pulse pressure variation (%) 24.84 (17.45–32.22) versus 9.59 (1.68–17.49), p = 0.004, mean Flux (p.u.) 414.95 (295.18–534.72) versus 327.21 (206.95–447.48), p = 0.006. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed an area under the curve of 0.88 (CI 95% 0.73–1.00; p value < 0.001) for pulse pressure variation for predicting a decrease of microcirculatory blood flow. The results of our study show that pulse pressure variation does have the potential to predict decreases of intestinal microcirculatory blood flow due to volume-load after ischemia/reperfusion-injury. This should encourage further translational research and might help to prevent microcirculatory impairment due to excessive fluid resuscitation and to guide fluid therapy in the future.

Plasma resuscitation with adjunctive peritoneal resuscitation reduces ischemic intestinal injury following hemorrhagic shock. J Trauma Acute Care Surg 2020; 89:649-657.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Impaired intestinal microvascular perfusion following resuscitated hemorrhagic shock (HS) leads to ischemia-reperfusion injury, microvascular dysfunction, and intestinal epithelial injury, which contribute to the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in some trauma patients. Restoration of central hemodynamics with traditional methods alone often fails to fully restore microvascular perfusion and does not protect against ischemia-reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that resuscitation (RES) with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) alone or combined with direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) with 2.5% Delflex solution might improve blood flow and decrease intestinal injury compared with conventional RES or RES with DPR alone. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats underwent HS (40% mean arterial pressure) for 60 minutes and were randomly assigned to a RES group (n = 8): sham, HS-crystalloid resuscitation (CR) (shed blood + two volumes CR), HS-CR-DPR (intraperitoneal 2.5% peritoneal dialysis fluid), HS-FFP (shed blood + two volumes FFP), and HS-DPR-FFP (intraperitoneal dialysis fluid + two volumes FFP). Laser Doppler flowmeter evaluation of the ileum, serum samples for fatty acid binding protein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were used to assess intestinal injury and blood flow. p Values of <0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS Following HS, the addition of DPR to either RES modality improved intestinal blood flow. Four hours after resuscitated HS, FABP-2 (intestinal) and FABP-6 (ileal) were elevated in the CR group but reduced in the FFP and DPR groups. The H&E staining demonstrated disrupted intestinal villi in the FFP and CR groups, most significantly in the CR group. Combination therapy with FFP and DPR demonstrated negligible cellular injury in H&E graded samples and a significant reduction in fatty acid binding protein levels. CONCLUSION Hemorrhagic shock leads to ischemic-reperfusion injury of the intestine, and both FFP and DPR alone attenuated intestinal damage; combination FFP-DPR therapy alleviated most signs of organ injury. Resuscitation with FFP-DPR to restore intestinal blood flow following shock could be an essential method of reducing morbidity and mortality after trauma.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Currently, the treatment of patients with shock is focused on the clinical symptoms of shock. In the early phase, this is usually limited to heart rate, blood pressure, lactate levels and urine output. However, as the ultimate goal of resuscitation is the improvement in microcirculatory perfusion the question is whether these currently used signs of shock and the improvement in these signs actually correspond to the changes in the microcirculation. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies have shown that during the development of shock the deterioration in the macrocirculatory parameters are followed by the deterioration of microcirculatory perfusion. However, in many cases the restoration of adequate macrocirculatory parameters is frequently not associated with improvement in microcirculatory perfusion. This relates not only to the cause of shock, where there are some differences between different forms of shock, but also to the type of treatment. SUMMARY The improvement in macrohemodynamics during the resuscitation is not consistently followed by subsequent changes in the microcirculation. This may result in both over-resuscitation and under-resuscitation leading to increased morbidity and mortality. In this article the principles of coherence and the monitoring of the microcirculation are reviewed.

Abstract
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a wide-field and noncontact imaging technology for mapping blood flow. Although the denoising method based on block-matching and three-dimensional transform-domain collaborative filtering (BM3D) was proposed to improve its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) significantly, the processing time makes it difficult to realize real-time denoising. Furthermore, it is still difficult to obtain an acceptable level of SNR with a few raw speckle images given the presence of significant noise and artifacts. A feed-forward denoising convolutional neural network (DnCNN) achieves state-of-the-art performance in denoising nature images and is efficiently accelerated by GPU. However, it performs poorly in learning with original speckle contrast images of LSCI owing to the inhomogeneous noise distribution. Therefore, we propose training DnCNN for LSCI in a log-transformed domain to improve training accuracy and it achieves an improvement of 5.13 dB in the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). To decrease the inference time and improve denoising performance, we further propose a dilated deep residual learning network with skip connections (DRSNet). The image-quality evaluations of DRSNet with five raw speckle images outperform that of spatially average denoising with 20 raw speckle images. DRSNet takes 35 ms (i.e., 28 frames per second) for denoising a blood flow image with 486×648 pixels on an NVIDIA 1070 GPU, which is approximately 2.5 times faster than DnCNN. In the test sets, DRSNet also improves 0.15 dB in the PSNR than that of DnCNN. The proposed network shows good potential in real-time monitoring of blood flow for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Editor’s Perspective
What We Already Know about This Topic
What This Article Tells Us That Is New
Background
Fluid resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock aims to restore hemodynamics and repair altered microcirculation. Hemodynamic coherence is the concordant performance of macro- and microcirculation. The present study on fluid therapy in hemorrhagic shock hypothesized that the choice of fluid (0.9% sodium chloride [saline group] or balanced 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 [hydroxyethyl starch group]) impacts on hemodynamic coherence.
Methods
After instrumentation, 10 sheep were bled up to 30 ml/kg body weight of blood stopping at a mean arterial pressure of 30 mmHg to establish hemorrhagic shock. To reestablish baseline mean arterial pressure, they received either saline or hydroxyethyl starch (each n = 5). Hemodynamic coherence was assessed by comparison of changes in mean arterial pressure and both perfused vessel density and microvascular flow index.
Results
Bleeding of 23 ml/kg blood [21; 30] (median [25th; 75th percentile]) in the saline group and 24 ml/kg [22; 25] (P = 0.916) in the hydroxyethyl starch group led to hemorrhagic shock. Fluid resuscitation reestablished baseline mean arterial pressure in all sheep of the hydroxyethyl starch group and in one sheep of the saline group. In the saline group 4,980 ml [3,312; 5,700] and in the hydroxyethyl starch group 610 ml [489; 615] of fluid were needed (P = 0.009). In hemorrhagic shock perfused vessel density (saline from 100% to 83% [49; 86]; hydroxyethyl starch from 100% to 74% [61; 80]) and microvascular flow index (saline from 3.1 [2.5; 3.3] to 2.0 [1.6; 2.3]; hydroxyethyl starch from 2.9 [2.9; 3.1] to 2.5 [2.3; 2.7]) decreased in both groups. After resuscitation both variables improved in the hydroxyethyl starch group (perfused vessel density: 125% [120; 147]; microvascular flow index: 3.4 [3.2; 3.5]), whereas in the saline group perfused vessel density further decreased (64% [62; 79]) and microvascular flow index increased less than in the hydroxyethyl starch group (2.7 [2.4; 2.8]; both P < 0.001 for saline vs. hydroxyethyl starch).
Conclusions
Resuscitation with hydroxyethyl starch maintained coherence in hemorrhagic shock. In contrast, saline only improved macro- but not microcirculation. Hemodynamic coherence might be influenced by the choice of resuscitation fluid.

Abstract
Local blood flow/oxygen partial pressure (Po2) distributions and flow-Po2 relationships are physiologically relevant. They affect the pathophysiology and treatment of conditions like hemorrhagic shock (HS), but direct noninvasive measures of flow, Po2, and their heterogeneity during prolonged HS are infrequently presented. To fill this void, we report the first quantitative evaluation of flow-Po2 relationships and heterogeneities in normovolemia and during several hours of HS using noninvasive, unbiased, automated acquisition. Anesthetized rats were subjected to tracheostomy, arterial/venous catheterizations, cremaster muscle exteriorization, hemorrhage (40% total blood volume), and laparotomy. Control animals equally instrumented were not subjected to hemorrhage/laparotomy. Every 0.5 h for 4.5 h, noninvasive laser speckle contrast imaging and phosphorescence quenching were employed for nearly 7,000 flow/Po2 measurements in muscles from eight animals, using an automated system. Precise alignment of 16 muscle areas allowed overlapping between flow and oxygenation measurements to evaluate spatial heterogeneity, and repeated measurements were used to estimate temporal heterogeneity. Systemic physiological parameters and blood chemistry were simultaneously assessed by blood samplings replaced with crystalloids. Hemodilution was associated with local hypoxia, but increased flow prevented major oxygen delivery decline. Adding laparotomy and prolonged HS resulted in hypoxia, ischemia, decreased tissue oxygen delivery, and logarithmic flow/Po2 relationships in most regions. Flow and Po2 spatial heterogeneities were higher than their respective temporal heterogeneities, although this did not change significantly over the studied period. This quantitative framework establishes a basis for evaluating therapies aimed at restoring muscle homeostasis, positively impacting outcomes of civilian and military trauma/HS victims.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study on flow-Po2 relationships during normovolemia, hemodilution, and prolonged hemorrhagic shock using noninvasive methods in multiple skeletal muscle areas of monitored animals. Automated flow/Po2 measurements revealed temporal/spatial heterogeneities, hypoxia, ischemia, and decreased tissue oxygen delivery after trauma/severe hemorrhage. Hemodilution was associated with local hypoxia, but hyperemia prevented a major decline in oxygen delivery. This framework provides a quantitative basis for testing therapeutics that positively impacts muscle homeostasis and outcomes of trauma/hemorrhagic shock victims.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies evaluating blood flow and oxygen partial pressure (PO2) do not directly measure both parameters, are confined to few locations/microvessels, and depend on investigator's selection of measuring sites. Moreover, clinically/physiologically relevant systemic parameters are not simultaneously recorded. We implemented an automated system for prolonged blood flow/PO2 acquisition in large areas while collecting relevant systemic information. METHODS In anesthetized animals, cardiorespiratory parameters were continuously recorded. Other data were collected at baseline and hourly after 4 hours of hemorrhagic shock. A cremaster muscle was spread over a pedestal fixed to a motorized stage. One 2-dimensional tissue scan allowed 16 noninvasive PO2 measurements using oxygen-dependent phosphorescence quenching and fiber optics. Blood flow was estimated using laser speckle contrast imaging in the same areas used for PO2 measurements. At each timepoint, blood was sampled for extensive biochemistry/coagulation profile. RESULTS The system was used successfully by different operators. A set of flow/PO2 measurements was completed in less than 90 seconds. Muscle flow and PO2 correlated with some but not several systemic parameters, emphasizing the importance of performing both local and systemic evaluations. CONCLUSION System advantages include integration between local and over 40 systemic parameters, unbiased data collection/analysis, improved performance/sampled area, easy expansion, implementation and maintenance, no customized programming, and simplified training. Combining this system with trauma/prolonged HS models will enhance our ability to investigate tissue stability and select better resuscitation strategies to improve outcomes and survival.

Abstract
Polytraumatised patients with haemorrhagic shock are prone to develop systemic complications, such as SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome), ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) and MOF (multiple organ failure). The pathomechanism of severe complications following trauma is multifactorial, and it is believed that microcirculatory dysfunction plays an important role. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in the microcirculation in musculature over time during shock and subsequent resuscitation in a porcine model of haemorrhagic shock and polytrauma. Twelve pigs (German Landrace) underwent femur fracture, liver laceration, blunt chest trauma, and haemorrhagic shock under standard anaesthesia and intensive care monitoring. Microcirculation data were measured from the vastus lateralis muscle using a combined white light spectrometry and laser spectroscopy system every 15 min during the shock and resuscitation period, and at 24, 48, and 72 h. Oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption were calculated and compared to baseline. The relative haemoglobin, local oxygen consumption, and saturation values in the microcirculation were observed significantly lower during shock, however, no changes in the microcirculatory blood flow and microcirculatory oxygen delivery were observed. After resuscitation, the microcirculatory blood flow and relative haemoglobin increased and remained elevated during the whole observation period (72 h). In this study, we observed changes in microcirculation during the trauma and shock phases. Furthermore, we also measured persistent dysfunction of the microcirculation over the observation period of 3 days after resuscitation and haemorrhagic shock. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
The microvasculature plays a central role in the pathophysiology of hemorrhagic shock and is also involved in arguably all therapeutic attempts to reverse or minimize the adverse consequences of shock. Microvascular studies specific to hemorrhagic shock were reviewed and broadly grouped depending on whether data were obtained on animal or human subjects. Dedicated sections were assigned to microcirculatory changes in specific organs, and major categories of pathophysiological alterations and mechanisms such as oxygen distribution, ischemia, inflammation, glycocalyx changes, vasomotion, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulopathy as well as biomarkers and some therapeutic strategies. Innovative experimental methods were also reviewed for quantitative microcirculatory assessment as it pertains to changes during hemorrhagic shock. The text and figures include representative quantitative microvascular data obtained in various organs and tissues such as skin, muscle, lung, liver, brain, heart, kidney, pancreas, intestines, and mesentery from various species including mice, rats, hamsters, sheep, swine, bats, and humans. Based on reviewed findings, a new integrative conceptual model is presented that includes about 100 systemic and local factors linked to microvessels in hemorrhagic shock. The combination of systemic measures with the understanding of these processes at the microvascular level is fundamental to further develop targeted and personalized interventions that will reduce tissue injury, organ dysfunction, and ultimately mortality due to hemorrhagic shock.

Bahadori S, Immins T, Wainwright TW. The effect of calf neuromuscular electrical stimulation and intermittent pneumatic compression on thigh microcirculation. Microvasc Res 2017; 111:37-41. [PMID: 28077312 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2017.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2016] [Revised: 01/04/2017] [Accepted: 01/05/2017] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study compares the effectiveness of a neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) device and an intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) device on enhancing microcirculatory blood flow in the thigh of healthy individuals, when stimulation is carried out peripherally at the calf. MATERIALS AND METHODS Blood microcirculation of ten healthy individuals was recorded using laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) technique. A region of interest (ROI) was marked on each participant thigh. The mean flux within the ROI was calculated at four states: rest, NMES device with visible muscle actuation (VMA), NMES device with no visible muscle actuation (NVMA) and IPC device. RESULTS Both NMES and IPC devices increased blood flow in the thigh when stimulation was carried out peripherally at the calf. The NMES device increased mean blood perfusion from baseline by 399.8% at the VMA state and 150.6% at the NVMA state, IPC device increased the mean blood perfusion by 117.3% from baseline. CONCLUSION The NMES device at VMA state increased microcirculation by more than a factor of 3 in contrast to the IPC device. Even at the NVMA state, the NMES device increased blood flow by 23% more than the IPC device. Given the association between increased microcirculation and reduced oedema, NMES may be a more effective modality than IPC at reducing oedema, therefore further research is needed to explore this.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endotoxins contribute to systemic inflammatory response and microcirculatory dysfunctions under conditions of sepsis. Polymyxin B hemoperfusion (PMX-HP) is used to remove circulating endotoxins and improve clinical outcomes. This study aims to investigate the effect of PMX-HP on microcirculation in septic pigs. MATERIALS AND METHODS By using a septic pig model, we tested the hypothesis that PMX-HP can correct intestinal microcirculation, tissue oxygenation saturation, and histopathologic alterations. A total of 18 male pigs were divided into three groups: (1) sham; (2) sepsis (fecal peritonitis); and (3) sepsis + PMX-HP groups. A sidestream dark field video microscope was used to record microcirculation throughout the terminal ileal mucosa, colon mucosa, kidney surface, and sublingual area. A superficial tissue oxygenation monitor employing the light reflectance spectroscopy technique was used to measure the tissue oxygen saturation. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used for histologic examination. RESULTS The perfused small vessel density and tissue oxygen saturation of the ileal mucosa at 6 h were higher in the sepsis + PMX-HP group than those in the sepsis group. The fluid amount and norepinephrine infusion rate between the sepsis group and sepsis + PMX-HP groups did not differ significantly. The histologic score for the ileal mucosa was lower in the sepsis + PMX-HP group than that in the sepsis group. Finally, the urine output was higher in the sepsis + PMX-HP group than it was in the sepsis group. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that PMX-HP attenuates microcirculatory dysfunction, tissue desaturation, and histopathologic alterations in the ileal mucosa in septic pigs.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of fluid therapy is to improve the oxygenation of cells by improving the cardiac output, thus improving microcirculation by optimizing macrocirculation. This haemodynamic coherence is often altered in patients with haemorrhagic shock and sepsis. The loss of haemodynamic coherence is associated with adverse outcomes. It may be influenced by the mechanisms of the underlying disease and properties of different fluids used for resuscitation in these critically ill patients. Monitoring microcirculation and haemodynamic coherence may be an additional tool to predict the response to fluid administration. In addition, microcirculatory analysis may support the clinician in his decision to not administer fluids when microcirculatory blood flow is preserved. In future, the indication, guidance and termination of fluid therapy may be assessed by bedside microvascular analysis in combination with standard haemodynamic monitoring.

CRITICAL CARE : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE CRITICAL CARE FORUM 2015; 19:434. [PMID: 26651994 PMCID: PMC4699328 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-015-1135-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2015] [Accepted: 11/10/2015] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fluid resuscitation is an indispensable procedure in the acute management of hemorrhagic shock for restoring tissue perfusion, particularly microcirculation in splanchnic organs. Resuscitation fluids include crystalloids, hypertonic saline (HTS), and synthetic colloids, and their selection affects the recovery of microcirculatory blood flow and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, which is often evident in the kidney, following reperfusion. In this study, the effects of acute resuscitation with 0.9% saline (NS), 3% HTS, 4% succinylated gelatin (GEL), and 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 were compared in a hemorrhagic shock rat model to analyze restoration of microcirculation among various splanchnic organs and the gracilis muscle and reperfusion-induced renal ROS formation. METHODS A total of 96 male Wistar rats were subjected to sham operation (sham group), hemorrhagic shock (control group), and resuscitation with NS, HTS, GEL and HES. Two hours after resuscitation, changes in the mean arterial pressure (MAP), serum lactate level and the microcirculatory blood flow among various splanchnic organs, namely the liver, kidney, and intestine (mucosa, serosal muscular layer, and Peyer's patch), and the gracilis muscle, were compared using laser speckle contrast imaging. Renal ROS formation after reperfusion was investigated using an enhanced in vivo chemiluminescence (CL) method. RESULTS Microcirculatory blood flow was less severely affected by hemorrhaging in the liver and gracilis muscle. Impairment of microcirculation in the kidney was restored in all resuscitation groups. Resuscitation in the NS group failed to restore intestinal microcirculation. Resuscitation in the HTS, GEL, and HES groups restored intestinal microcirculatory blood flow. By comparison, fluid resuscitation restored hemorrhagic shock-induced hypotension and decreased lactatemia in all resuscitation groups. Reperfusion-induced in vivo renal ROS formation was significantly higher in the GEL and HES groups than in the other groups. CONCLUSION Although fluid resuscitation with NS restored the MAP and decreased lactatemia following hemorrhagic shock, intestinal microcirculation was restored only by other volume expanders, namely 3% HTS, GEL, and HES. However, reperfusion-induced renal ROS formation was significantly higher when synthetic colloids were used.
