Abstract
Background
Hemoglobin‑oxygen (Hb-O2) affinity is an important determinant for oxygen delivery and oxygen extraction. Although cardiovascular agents such as noradrenaline, adrenaline, atropine, milrinone and levosimendan are widely used in intensive care units worldwide, nothing is known about their possible effects on Hb-O2 affinity.
Methods
In this experimental ex-vivo trial, venous blood samples were taken from 5 male and 6 female volunteers and incubated with the particular cardiovascular agents. Oxygen dissociation curves (ODC) were measured in-vitro with a new high-throughput method.
Results
Compared to the P50 in male and female controls, a significant right-shift of the ODC was found for noradrenaline and milrinone in all participants and for levosimendan in male samples only. Adrenaline decreased Hb-O2 affinity in male samples, atropine in female samples only.
Discussion
All investigated agents decreased Hb-O2 affinity, with marked differences between males and females. Although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, the extent of these effects may increase oxygen extraction at the tissue level as long as pulmonary oxygen uptake is maintained.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Critical Care, the official publication of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM), is a leading international, peer-reviewed journal providing original research, review articles, tutorials, and invited articles for physicians and allied health professionals involved in treating the critically ill. The Journal aims to improve patient care by furthering understanding of health systems research and its integration into clinical practice.
The Journal will include articles which discuss:
All aspects of health services research in critical care
System based practice in anesthesiology, perioperative and critical care medicine
The interface between anesthesiology, critical care medicine and pain
Integrating intraoperative management in preparation for postoperative critical care management and recovery
Optimizing patient management, i.e., exploring the interface between evidence-based principles or clinical insight into management and care of complex patients
The team approach in the OR and ICU
System-based research
Medical ethics
Technology in medicine
Seminars discussing current, state of the art, and sometimes controversial topics in anesthesiology, critical care medicine, and professional education
Residency Education.
