Arterial Blood

Exhaustive exercise in cannulated sea lampreys, Petromyzon marinus, resulted in a marked extracellular acidosis in the arterial blood which had both a respiratory and a metabolic component. Blood CO2 tension (PCO2) returned to control levels within an hour after exercise, but the metabolic acidosis had a somewhat longer time course and the extracellular pH (pHe) did not fully recover until the 4 h recovery sample. The magnitude and duration of the changes in both the plasma lactate concentration and the concentration of metabolic protons were very similar and the maximal proton deficit after exercise was, therefore, only 1.5 mequiv l-1. In contrast to the changes in pHe, there were no significant changes in the erythrocyte pH (pHi) following the exercise period. The regulation of pHi was apparently not adrenergically mediated, however, since addition of catecholamines to lamprey blood in vitro had no significant effect on pHi. In addition, the period of exhaustive exercise in vivo was not associated with any significant changes in the mean cellular hemoglobin concentration. The total carbon dioxide concentration in the arterial whole blood and true plasma were both significantly reduced after exercise, but the total carbon dioxide concentration within the erythrocytes was transiently increased. Finally, there was a marked decrease in the arterial PO2 immediately after exercise, which was associated with a significant reduction in the amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin; however, within 30 min, these values had both returned to normal. The maintenance of pHi presumably contributes to the regulation of oxygen transport in lampreys and it may be particularly important during the brief period immediately after exercise when oxygen transport is clearly compromised. Although several studies have provided evidence that chloride/bicarbonate exchange limitations may exist in agnathan blood in vitro, the present results demonstrate that the characteristics of carbon dioxide transport and acid-base regulation after exercise in P. marinus are not markedly different from those in other lower vertebrates.

Acid Base Status

In vivo experiments were carried out to determine the relative effects of carbonic anhydrase (CA) infusion or inhibition on carbon dioxide (CO2) transport and acid-base status in the arterial and venous blood of sea lampreys recovering from exhaustive exercise. Infusion of CA into the extracellular fluid did not significantly affect CO2 transport or acid-base status in exercised lampreys. In contrast, infusion of the CA inhibitor acetazolamide resulted in a respiratory acidosis in the blood of recovering lampreys. In acetazolamide-treated lampreys, the post-exercise extracellular pH (pHe) of arterial blood was significantly lower than that in the saline-infused (control) lampreys. The calculated arterial and venous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) and the total CO2 concentration in whole blood (CCO2wb) and red blood cells (CCO2rbc) during recovery in the acetazolamide-infused lampreys were also significantly greater than those values in the saline-infused control lampreys. These results suggest that the CO2 reactions in the extracellular compartment of lampreys may already be in equilibrium and that the access of plasma bicarbonate to CA is probably not the sole factor limiting CO2 transport in these animals. Furthermore, endogenous red blood cell CA clearly has an important role in CO2 transport in exercising lampreys.

A technic has been developed permitting direct collection of undiluted rabbit pancreatic secretion in vitro without vascular perfusion. The rates of secretion and output of electrolytes were comparable to those obtained in situ. When secretin was added, flow and bicarbonate concentration increased. Secretion in vitro ceased when inhibitors of glycolysis and aerobic metabolism were added to the bathing solution. The sodium concentration of the secretion exceeded that of the bathing solution in all but one observation. Potassium concentrations in secretion were linearly related (slope = 0.93) to the potassium concentration in the bath over a range of 5.8–12.0 mm. After 4–5 hr in vitro, the total carbon dioxide concentration of secretion had decreased while chloride concentration increased with no significant change in the rate of secretion. When secretory rate changed over a range of approximately 30–600 µliters/hr, chloride and carbon dioxide output varied directly with the rate of secretion. The osmolarity of the bathing solution and secretion were always equivalent. These results are incompatible with direct plasma filtration and bicarbonate-chloride exchange as the main mechanisms of pancreatic secretion.

Dissociation Curves

Oxygen and carbon dioxide dissociation curves were constructed for the blood of the Nile monitor lizard, Varanus niloticus, acclimated for 12h at 25 and 35°C. The oxygen affinity of Varanus blood was low when Pco2 w a s in the range of in vivo values (25°C: P50 = 34.3 at PCOCO2 = 21 mmHg; 35°C: P50 = 46.2 mmHg at PCOCO2 = 35 mmHg; 1 mmHg = 133.3 Pa), and the oxygen dissociation curves were highly sigmoidal (Hill's n = 2.97 at 25°C and 3.40 at 35°C). The position of the O2 curves was relatively insensitive to temperature change with an apparent enthalpy of oxygenation (ΔH) of −9.2kJ mol−1. The carbon dioxide dissociation curves were shifted to the right with increasing temperature by decreasing total CCOCO2 at fixed PCOCO2, whereas the state of oxygenation had little effect on total blood CO2 content. The in vitro buffer value of true plasma (Δ[HCO3−]pl/-ΔpHpl) rose from 12.0 mequiv pH−1−1 at 25°C to 17.5 mequiv pH−11−1 at 35°C, reflecting a reversible increase of about 30% in haemoglobin concentration and haematocrit levels during resting conditions in vivo.

Blood acid-base regulation following exhaustive exercise was investigated in freshwater- (FW) and seawater- (SW) adapted rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) of the same genetic stock. Following exhaustive exercise at 10°C, both FW and SW trout displayed a mixed respiratory and metabolic blood acidosis. However, in FW trout the acidosis was about double that of SW trout and arterial blood pH took twice as long to correct. These SW/FW differences were related to the relative amounts of net H+ equivalent excretion to the environmental water, SW trout excreting five times as much as FW trout. The greater H+ equivalent excretion in SW trout may be secondary to changes in the gills that accompany the adaptation from FW to SW. It may also be related to the higher concentrations of HCO3− as well as other exchangeable counter-ions (Na+ and Cl−) in the external medium in SW compared to FW.

Abstract Background and Aims Critically ill acute kidney injury (AKI) patients may require treatment by extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) devices to allow protective or ultraprotective mechanical ventilation and avoid hypercapnic acidosis. Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) and ECCO2R devices can be arranged in series to form a single extracorporeal circuit; such a circuit has been proposed to be optimal, based carbon dioxide removal efficacy, if the ECCO2R device is placed proximal to the CVVH device (Allardet-Servent et al, Crit Care Med 43:2570-2581, 2015). Method We developed a mathematical model of whole-body, acid-base balance during extracorporeal therapy using in-series ECCO2R and CVVH devices for treatment of mechanically ventilated AKI patients. Equilibrium acid-base chemistry in blood was assumed as reported previously (Rees and Andreassen, Crit Rev Biomed Eng 33:209-264, 2005). Published clinical data from Allardet-Servent et al of mechanically ventilated (6 mL/kg predicted body weight or PBW) AKI patients treated by CVVH without ECCO2R were used to adjust model parameters to fit plasma levels of arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and arterial plasma bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3]). The effects of applying ECCO2R at an unchanged tidal volume and a reduced tidal volume (4 mL/kg PBW) on PaCO2 and [HCO3] were then simulated assuming carbon dioxide removal rates from the ECCO2R device measured in the clinical study (91 mL of CO2/min when ECCO2R was proximal and 72 mL of CO2/min when CVVH was proximal). Results Agreement of model predictions with the clinical data was good, and model predictions were relatively independent of the in-series position of the devices (see Table). Total carbon dioxide removal from the CVVH device via ultrafiltration predicted by the model was lower after applying ECCO2R at both the unchanged tidal volume (25 mL of CO2/min when ECCO2R was proximal and 39 mL of CO2/min when CVVH was proximal) and the reduced tidal volume (30 mL of CO2/min when ECCO2R was proximal and 44 mL of CO2/min when CVVH was proximal). The reduced removal of total carbon dioxide via ultrafiltration when ECCO2R was proximal resulted from the lower total carbon dioxide concentration in blood entering the CVVH device. Thus, independent of the in-series position of the devices, the magnitude of this difference in total carbon dioxide removal by the CVVH device (14 mL of CO2/min) approximately cancels out the relative greater efficacy of the ECCO2R device (19 mL of CO2/min). Conclusion The described mathematical model has quantitative accuracy. It suggests that overall acid-base balance when using ECCO2R and CVVH devices in a single, combined extracorporeal circuit will be similar, independent of their in-series position.
