Microcirculation and hemorrhagic shock.

H Haljamäe

    The American Journal of Emergency Medicine
    |January 1, 1984

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Following blood loss, skeletal muscle microcirculation shows intermittent flow and reduced capillary perfusion. This shock-induced maldistribution leads to heterogeneous tissue oxygenation and cellular injury.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Cardiovascular Research
    • Microcirculation

    Background:

    • Compensatory cardiovascular adjustments prioritize central vital organs after hemorrhage.
    • Skeletal muscle, the body's largest cell mass, is a key target for these adjustments.
    • Understanding microcirculatory changes in skeletal muscle during shock is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate microcirculatory alterations in skeletal muscle during post-hemorrhagic shock.
    • To elucidate the mechanisms behind impaired blood flow distribution in shock.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized intravital microscopy to observe microvascular blood flow in skeletal muscle.
    • Measured tissue oxygen tension and cellular transmembrane potentials to assess hypoxic injury.

    Main Results:

    • Early post-hemorrhage shows intermittent microvascular flow in skeletal muscle, possibly due to alpha- and beta-adrenergic activity.
    • A period of circulatory arrest is followed by reperfusion of only 30-50% of capillaries.
    • Significant heterogeneity in blood flow distribution, with unperfused capillaries and slow flow, primarily due to white blood cell interactions.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemorrhagic shock severely impairs skeletal muscle microcirculation, leading to heterogeneous perfusion.
    • White blood cell obstruction contributes significantly to capillary maldistribution.
    • Heterogeneous perfusion results in localized cellular hypoxic injury.
