Hemorrhagic Hypotension

Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) during controlled hemorrhagic hypotension (140–20 mm Hg) was assessed 10–14 days after chronic unilateral sectioning of parasympathetic and/or sensory fibers innervating pial vessels in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). rCBF was measured in the cortical barrel fields bilaterally by laser Doppler blood flowmetry. Immunohistochemistry of middle cerebral artery (MCA) whole mount preparations was used to verify the surgical lesion. During hemorrhagic hypotension, rCBF was equivalent on the two sides in shams, after selective sensory denervation, or in parasympathetically sectioned animals exhibiting small decreases (≤30%) in immunoreactive vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-containing fibers. After chronic parasympathetic denervation, decreases in perfusion pressure were accompanied by greater reductions in rCBF on the lesioned side; changes in vascular resistance were also attenuated on that side. The rCBF response to hypercapnia (Paco2 50 mm Hg), however, was symmetrical and robust. To examine the effects of impaired neurogenic vasodilation on the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia, infarct size was measured 24 h following tandem MCA occlusion in denervated animals. Infarction volume was larger after selective parasympathetic sectioning (sham, 156 ± 27 vs. 196 ± 32 mm3, respectively) but only in those denervated animals demonstrating ≥40% decrease in immunoreactive VIP-containing fibers within the ipsilateral MCA. Lower than expected blood flow/perfusion pressure in the cortex distal to an occluded blood vessel may relate the observed blood flow responses to the occurrence of larger cortical infarcts in parasympathetically denervated animals. If true, the findings suggest a novel role for neurogenic vasodilation in the pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia and in rCBF regulation within the peri-infarction zone.

Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured autoradiographically with [14C]iodoantipyrine as a diffusible tracer in two strains of conscious normotensive rats (Wistar Kyoto and local Wistar) and in two groups of spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone rats (SHRSP) with a mean arterial pressure (MAP) below or above 200 mm Hg. In spite of the large differences in arterial pressure, rCBF did not differ significantly between the hypertensive and the normotensive groups in any of the 14 specified brain structures measured. However, rCBF increased asymmetrically within part of the caudate-putamen in two of nine SHRSP with a MAP above 200 mm Hg, indicating a regional drop in the elevated cerebrovascular resistance.
