The Relationship

To perform two independent regional blood flow measurements in tissue volumes of similar dimensions, we designed a hybrid blood flow probe capable of measuring regional perfusion by both laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV) and H2 clearance. The probe consisted of two fiber-optic light guides to conduct light between the surface of tissue of interest and a laser-Doppler blood flowmeter. Also contained within the probe were a platinum 25-microns H2-sensing electrode and a 125-microns H2-generating electrode. The probe can thus be used to measure local perfusion with H2 clearance. The H2 can either be inhaled or can be generated electrochemically at the locus of interest. Evaluation of the probe in the canine gastric mucosa indicated 1) that the relationship between mucosal flow measurements made simultaneously with H2 clearance and LDV was highly significant and linear and 2) that H2 clearance could potentially be used to calibrate the laser-Doppler blood flowmeter in absolute units. The methods of constructing the flow probes are discussed in detail.

Total Blood Flow

In a previous study of regional intestinal blood flow by laser-Doppler velocimetry, we noted that the mucosa displayed reactive hyperemia following arterial occlusion but that the muscularis did not. Therefore, to determine whether this observation is generally valid, we compared responses of the mucosa and muscularis externa to arterial occlusion. We measured total blood flow to isolated loops of canine small bowel with an electromagnetic flow probe on the supply artery; blood flow either in the mucosa or in the muscularis was measured by laser-Doppler velocimetry. Mucosal and total blood flow consistently showed reactive hyperemia in response to a 60-s occlusion, but the muscularis did not. To determine whether metabolic rate influenced reactive hyperemia, we increased enteric oxygen uptake by placing 5% bile and transportable solutes in the lumen; these agents increased oxygen consumption by 36%. After a 60-s occlusion, the durations of both total and mucosal reactive hyperemia were significantly prolonged by increased metabolic rate. Similarly, the payback-to-debt ratios in both total and mucosal blood flows were significantly increased at elevated metabolic rate. These data support the conclusions that reactive hyperemia occurs more frequently and has a greater magnitude in the mucosa compared with the muscularis and both total and mucosal reactive hyperemia are strongly influenced by the preocclusive oxygen demand. These findings therefore constitute further evidence that metabolic factors contribute to reactive hyperemia in the intestinal circulation.
