This study examines the early time course in core temperature change and oxygen consumption at 4 levels of hemorrhage. Chronically instrumented rats were acclimatized to a respirometry chamber for 30 min. The rats were briefly (10 min) removed from the chamber for a fixed volume hemorrhage of 0 mL/kg (sham), 8 mL/kg, 16 mL/kg, 24 mL/kg, or 32 mL/kg. Rats were then returned to the chamber, and oxygen consumption and body core temperature were monitored for the next 2 h. Oxygen consumption (control 1.26 mL O2/g/h) fell significantly 5 min after hemorrhage in all but the sham and 8 mL/kg hemorrhage groups, with the decrease proportional to the hemorrhage volume. The 32 mL/kg hemorrhage group showed the greatest decrease, to 0.47 mL O2/g/h. Body core temperature (control 37.5 degrees C) fell more gradually, declining to 35.6 degrees C 110 min after the 24 mL/kg hemorrhage, and to 33.2 degrees C at 6 h after the 32 mL/kg hemorrhage. In the 16 mL/kg hemorrhage group, oxygen consumption fell significantly by 5 min after hemorrhage, but a drop in body temperature was not seen until 25 min after hemorrhage. The data from this study indicate that the drop in core temperature does not cause the observed decrease in oxygen consumption. In fact, the timing and magnitude of the drop in oxygen consumption indicate that the reduced metabolic rate may mediate the hemorrhage-induced drop in body core temperature in conscious rats.
