Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia, used primarily for protective effects after hypoxia, improves oral and gastric mucosal microvascular oxygenation (μHbO₂) during additional haemorrhage. Therefore, we questioned whether hypothermia likewise improves μHbO₂ during hypoxic challenges. Since both hypothermia and hypoxia reduce cardiac output (e.g. by myofilament Ca(2+) desensitization), and modulate vasomotor tone via K(+) ATP channels, we hypothesized that the Ca(2+) sensitizer levosimendan and K(+) ATP channel blocker glibenclamide would support the cardiovascular system. METHODS The effects of mild hypothermia (34°C) on μHbO₂ during hypoxia [Formula: see text] were analysed in a cross-over study on five anaesthetized dogs and compared with normothermia (37.5°C) and hypoxia. During hypothermia, but before hypoxia, glibenclamide (0.2 mg kg(-1)) or levosimendan (20 µg kg(-1)+0.25 µg kg(-1) min(-1)) was administered. Systemic haemodynamic variables, gastric and oral mucosal microvascular oxygenation (reflectance spectrophotometry), and perfusion (laser Doppler flowmetry) were recorded continuously. Data are presented as mean (sem), P<0.05. RESULTS Hypoxia during normothermia reduced gastric μHbO₂ by 27 (3)% and oral μHbO₂ by 28 (3)% (absolute change). During hypothermia, this reduction was attenuated to 16 (3)% and 13 (1)% (absolute change). This effect was independent of microvascular flow that did not change during hypoxia and hypothermia. Additional administration of levosimendan during hypothermia restored reduced cardiac output but did not change flow or μHbO₂ compared with hypothermia alone. Glibenclamide did not exert any additional effects during hypothermia. CONCLUSIONS Hypothermia attenuates the decrease in μHbO₂ during additional hypoxic challenges independent of systemic or regional flow changes. A reduction in cardiac output during hypothermia is prevented by Ca(2+) sensitization with levosimendan but not by K(+) ATP channel blockade with glibenclamide.

Hypothermia improves oral and gastric mucosal microvascular oxygenation during hemorrhagic shock in dogs. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2013; 2013:589606. [PMID: 24327826 PMCID: PMC3845851 DOI: 10.1155/2013/589606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2013] [Revised: 09/03/2013] [Accepted: 10/01/2013] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Hypothermia is known to improve tissue function in different organs during physiological and pathological conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of hypothermia on oral and gastric mucosal microvascular oxygenation (μHbO2) and perfusion (μflow) under physiological and hemorrhagic conditions. Five dogs were repeatedly anesthetized. All animals underwent each experimental protocol (randomized cross-over design): hypothermia (34°C), hypothermia during hemorrhage, normothermia, and normothermia during hemorrhage. Microcirculatory and hemodynamic variables were recorded. Systemic (DO2) and oral mucosal (μDO2) oxygen delivery were calculated. Hypothermia increased oral μHbO2 with no effect on gastric μHbO2. Hemorrhage reduced oral and gastric μHbO2 during normothermia (−36 ± 4% and −27 ± 7%); however, this effect was attenuated during additional hypothermia (−15 ± 5% and −11 ± 5%). The improved μHbO2 might be based on an attenuated reduction in μflow during hemorrhage and additional hypothermia (−51 ± 21 aU) compared to hemorrhage and normothermia (−106 ± 19 aU). μDO2 was accordingly attenuated under hypothermia during hemorrhage whereas DO2 did not change. Thus, in this study hypothermia alone improves oral μHbO2 and attenuates the effects of hemorrhage on oral and gastric μHbO2. This effect seems to be mediated by an increased μDO2 on the basis of increased μflow.

Abstract
Therapeutic hypothermia has been found to improve hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in cardiogenic shock. Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a pro-thrombolytic enzyme, which also possesses pro-inflammatory properties. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) are pro-inflammatory cytokines; interleukin 10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) are anti-inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the mechanism behind the protective effect of therapeutic hypothermia in cardiogenic shock. This was done by studying the effect of hypothermia on basal t-PA levels, peripheral t-PA release, and on the inflammatory response. Cardiogenic shock was induced by inflation of an angioplasty balloon in the proximal left anterior descending artery for 40 min in 16 pigs, followed by 110 min of reperfusion. The animals were randomized to hypothermia (33°C, n = 8), or normothermia (n = 8) at reperfusion. Hemodynamic parameters were continuously monitored. Plasma was sampled every 30 min for analysis of blood-gases and t-PA, and for analysis of inflammatory markers at baseline and at the end of the experiment. t-PA, IL-6 and TGF-β1 increased during cardiogenic shock. Apart from favourably affecting hemodynamic and metabolic variables, hypothermia was found to reduce basal arterial and venous t-PA levels, and to inhibit the release of t-PA from the peripheral vascular bed. Hypothermia did not alter the inflammatory response. In conclusion, mild hypothermia improves hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in cardiogenic shock. This is associated with a reduction in basal t-PA levels and t-PA release from the peripheral vascular bed, but not with an altered inflammatory response.

Abstract
Three large randomized controlled trials have demonstrated benefits from 3 days of cooling to 33-34°C after perinatal asphyxia. No serious adverse effects were documented. The trials excluded many infants for hypothermia (HT) therapy, including those of age >6 hours and those with prematurity of <36 weeks gestation, abnormal coagulation, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and congenital abnormalities. This article considers whether the foregoing trial exclusion criteria are feasible given current knowledge and evidence. HT affects the validity of some outcome predictors (eg, clinical examination, amplitude-integrated electroencephalography), but not of magnetic resonance imaging. HT is a time-critical emergency treatment after perinatal asphyxia that requires optimal collaboration among local hospitals, transport teams, and cooling centers.

Abstract
Hypoxia-induced hypothermia (HIH) is regarded as an adaptive response to hypoxia in a variety of creatures, but no details of the mechanism have yet been elucidated in the clinical setting. This study was designed to analyze alteration of core body temperature with hemorrhagic shock and to clarify HIH in the clinical setting. Patients were categorized in the hemorrhage shock (S, n = 15) or cardiopulmonary arrest (C, n = 88) group. The tympanic membrane temperature (TMT) was measured, and the length of the interval of call-to-arrival (CTA) at a hospital was set as the time-course parameter. There was a significant negative linear relationship between CTA interval and TMT (S group: TMT = -0.055 degrees C, CTA = +36.1 min, r = -0.833, P < 0.001; C group: TMT = -0.046 degrees C, CTA = +36.3 min, r = -0.548, P < 0.001). Analysis of variance revealed no significant difference in the slope of the regression lines of both groups. However, when the CTA interval was used as a covariate, there was a significant difference in the TMT (P = 0.014), which means that the regression line of the S group was significantly lower than that of the C group with time. Furthermore, in the S group, all patients were hypothermic (<35 degrees C) when their CTA interval was more than 20 min; on the other hand, in the C group, only 64 (75%) of 85 were hypothermic. Patients in S group were more likely to become hypothermic (P < 0.05). In humans with cellular hypoxia, HIH takes place, as seen in other animals. This result emphasizes the necessity for studies of analysis of the mechanisms of temperature control and determination of optimal body temperature during acute critical care.

Mild hypothermia reduces cardiac post-ischemic reactive hyperemia. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2007; 7:5.

Abstract
Background In experimentally induced myocardial infarction, mild hypothermia (33–35°C) is beneficial if applied prior to ischemia or reperfusion. Hypothermia, when applied after reperfusion seems to confer little or no benefit. The mechanism by which hypothermia exerts its cell-protective effect during cardiac ischemia remains unclear. It has been hypothesized that hypothermia reduces the reperfusion damage; the additional damage incurred upon the myocardium during reperfusion. Reperfusion results in a massive increase in blood flow, reactive hyperemia, which may contribute to reperfusion damage. We postulated that hypothermia could attenuate the post-ischemic reactive hyperemia. Methods Sixteen 25–30 kg pigs, in a closed chest model, were anesthetized and temperature was established in all pigs at 37°C using an intravascular cooling catheter. The 16 pigs were then randomized to hypothermia (34°C) or control (37°C). The left main coronary artery was then catheterized with a PCI guiding catheter. A Doppler flow wire was placed in the mid part of the LAD and a PCI balloon was then positioned proximal to the Doppler wire but distal to the first diagonal branch. The LAD was then occluded for ten minutes in all pigs. Coronary blood flow was measured before, during and after ischemia/reperfusion. Results The peak flow seen during post-ischemic reactive hyperemia (during the first minutes of reperfusion) was significantly reduced by 43 % (p < 0.01) in hypothermic pigs compared to controls. Conclusion Mild hypothermia significantly reduces post-ischemic hyperemia in a closed chest pig model. The reduction of reactive hyperemia during reperfusion may have an impact on cardiac reperfusion injury.

Abstract
This review analyzes, in some depth, results of studies on the effect of lowered temperatures on cerebral energy metabolism in animals under normal conditions and in some selected pathologic situations. In sedated and paralyzed mammals, acute uncomplicated 0.5- to 3-h hypothermia decreases the global cerebral metabolic rate for glucose (CMR(glc)) and oxygen (CMRo(2)) but maintains a slightly better energy level, which indicates that ATP breakdown is reduced more than its synthesis. Intracellular alkalinization stimulates glycolysis and independently enhances energy generation. Lowering of temperature during hypoxia-ischemia slows the rate of glucose, phosphocreatine, and ATP breakdown and lactate and inorganic phosphate formation, and improves recovery of energetic parameters during reperfusion. Mild hypothermia of 12 to 24-h duration after normothermic hypoxic-ischemic insults seems to prevent or ameliorate secondary failures in energy parameters. The authors conclude that lowered head temperatures help to protect and maintain normal CNS function by preserving brain ATP supply and level. Hypothermia may thus prove a promising avenue in the treatment of stroke and trauma and, in particular, of perinatal brain injury.

Abstract
The hypothermic response of rats to only brief ( approximately 2 h) hypoxia has been described previously. The present study analyzes the hypothermic response in rats, as well as level of activity (L(a)), to prolonged (63 h) hypoxia at rat thermoneutral temperature (29 degrees C). Mini Mitter transmitters were implanted in the abdomens of 10 adult Sprague-Dawley rats to continuously record body temperature (T(b)) and L(a). After habituation for 7 days to 29 degrees C and 12:12-h dark-light cycles, 48 h of baseline data were acquired from six control and four experimental rats. The mean T(b) for the group oscillated from a nocturnal peak of 38.4 +/- 0.18 degrees C (SD) to a diurnal nadir of 36.7 +/- 0.15 degrees C. Then the experimental group was switched to 10% O(2) in N(2). The immediate T(b) response, phase I, was a disappearance of circadian rhythm and a fall in T(b) to 36.3 +/- 0.52 degrees C. In phase II, T(b) increased to a peak of 38.7 +/- 0.64 degrees C. In phase III, T(b) gradually decreased. At reoxygenation at the end of the hypoxic period, phase IV, T(b) increased 1.1 +/- 0.25 degrees C. Before hypoxia, L(a) decreased 70% from its nocturnal peak to its diurnal nadir and was entrained with T(b). With hypoxia L(a) decreased in phase I to essential quiescence by phase II. L(a) had returned, but only to a low level in phase III, and was devoid of any circadian rhythm. L(a) resumed its circadian rhythm on reoxygenation. We conclude that 63 h of sustained hypoxia 1) completely disrupts the circadian rhythms of both T(b) and L(a) throughout the hypoxic exposure, 2) the hypoxia-induced changes in T(b) and L(a) are independent of each other and of the circadian clock, and 3) the T(b) response to hypoxia at thermoneutrality has several phases and includes both hypothermic and hyperthermic components.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether a carotenoid, trans-sodium crocetinate, has beneficial effects on hemodynamic status and short-term outcome in a rat model of lethal hypoxemia. DESIGN Randomized, placebo-controlled study. SETTING Medical school laboratory. SUBJECTS Eighteen spontaneously breathing, anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats (six per group). INTERVENTIONS Rats underwent instrumentation to measure blood pressure, aortic and renal blood flow, arterial blood gases, bladder epithelial oxygen tension (by an intraluminal Clark electrode), and hepatic microvascular oxygen tension (measured by porphyrin phosphorescence). After stabilization, the rats were subjected to breathing 10% inspired oxygen concentration. After 10 mins, they were administered 1.25 mL/kg intravenous boluses of either isotonic saline (control), normal strength crocetinate (40 microg/mL), or a concentrated crocetinate solution (60 microg/mL). These boluses were repeated at 30-min intervals until either death or 3 hrs had elapsed. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS With the onset of hypoxemia, we observed a rapid reduction in blood pressure and renal blood flow, maintenance of aortic blood flow, an increase in arterial base deficit, and falls in oxygen tensions in arterial blood, bladder epithelium, and hepatic microvasculature. A progressive deterioration in the control rats was noted, with only two of the six animals surviving for 3 hrs. However, all 12 rats in the two crocetinate groups survived for 3 hrs, with hemodynamic stability until 150 mins and a slow decline thereafter. CONCLUSIONS Trans-sodium crocetinate improved hemodynamic status and prolonged survival in this model of severe acute hypoxic hypoxia. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of an intravenous agent having such an effect.

Abstract
Many years of experimental work on hypoxic-ischaemic injury have supported the hypothesis that cooling the body and brain after the primary injury offers permanent neuroprotection. Clinically, the question of how late cooling can start after the insult and still have a protective effect is important and not fully investigated. Pilot studies in human adults initiated cooling after 10-18 h (trauma, stroke), however animal data suggest cooling is not effective if started later than 6 h. There might be a threshold for 'cooling dose' - by depth or duration - to achieve permanent protection. Hypothermia must be administered with understanding of the extensive physiological effects. Different enzymes have different sensitivity to changes in temperature, hence some effects may be beneficial and some deleterious. Hypothermia and cardiovascular responses and coagulation needs careful monitoring.

Abstract
The rat has an optimal body temperature (TB = 20 degrees C) for hypoxic survival in a confined space. The general applicability of this finding and the influence of body size was studied in immature pigs (27 kg). The pig consumed oxygen in a sealed chamber until it reached the terminal state. We measured blood pressure, inspired O2 and CO2, minute ventilation, ECG, ambient and body temperatures, and PO2, PCO2, O2-content and pH in arterial and venous blood. Four different cooling procedures produced a terminal TB of 26 +/- 3.1 degrees C, 30.1 +/- 2.9 degrees C, 30.0 +/- 2.8 degrees C and 22.6 +/- 2.1 degrees C and a terminal PIO2 of 28.0 +/- 10.2 torr, 30.8 +/- 7.6 torr, 31.5 +/- 5.6 torr and 41.7 +/- 15.4 torr respectively (mean +/- SD). Oxygen consumption, minute ventilation and cardiac output increased from baseline values of 0.5 l.h-1.kg-1, 10 l.min-1, and 6 l.min-1 respectively at the start of cold exposure, and declined moderately as a function of PIO2 below 60 torr. With respect to the relation between terminal body temperature and terminal PIO2 (but not PaO2), we found an optimal body temperature (26 degrees C) at which the animal can survive to the lowest PIO2. Using the allometric approach, i.e. linear extrapolation of temperature as a function of logarithm body mass, the optimal body temperature for man would be 27.5 degrees C. The advantage of hypothermia in the hypoxic survival of the whole animal is its effect on the reduction of the inspired-arterial O2 difference.
