Intact cardiac compensatory mechanisms are necessary to maintain adequate tissue oxygenation during acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH). Left ventricular (LV) perfusion, oxygenation and function were analyzed in an experimental whole-body model of profound ANH (Hct 9%) and effectiveness of a perfluorocarbon-based oxygen carrier in maintaining myocardial oxygenation and function was evaluated. A total of 22 anesthetized dogs were hemodiluted to Hct 20% followed by a simulated, controlled blood-loss phase in which dogs were randomized to either: (1) 1:1 exchange of lost blood with autologous red blood cells (RBC-group), (2) 1:1 exchange with a colloid (control-group) and (3) 1:1 exchange with a colloid after a single dose of 1.8 g/kg BW perflubron i.v. (PFC-group). Myocardial oxygen delivery and consumption as well as endocardial perfusion were determined using radioactive microspheres. LV myocardial contractility (LV MC) was assessed from: (1) the relationship between maximum rate of LV pressure increase (LVdp/dtmax) and LV enddiastolic volume (LVEDV) and (2) analysis of the LV endsystolic pressure volume relationship (ESPVR). LV diastolic properties were reflected by (1) minimum rate of LV pressure increase (LVdp/dtmin), (2) slope and intercept of the enddiastolic pressure-volume relationship (EDPVR) and (3) the time-constant of isovolumic LV pressure decline "tau 1/2". Full sets of LV MC data were obtained from 18 dogs (n = 6 per group). LV MC (LVdp/dtmax-LVEDV relation) increased after perflubron administration. At the lowest Hct level, all parameters reflecting LV MC as well as LVdp/dtmin were significantly higher in the PFC-group than in the control-group. After profound normovolemic hemodilution (Hct 9%) superiority of LV MC and LV diastolic properties was found, when myocardial oxygenation was supported by i.v. perflubron emulsion, a temporary O2 carrier.
