Arteriolar and venular oxygen tension distribution was studied in the subcutaneous connective tissue of the chamber window preparation in conscious Syrian golden hamsters as a function of the systemic PO2, PCO2, pH, arterial pressure and hematocrit, microvascular red blood cell (RBC) velocity, vessel diameter, and blood flow in the same microvessels. PO2 was measured with the phosphorescence decay technique using Pd-meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (30 mg/kg body wt iv). Systemic arterial and venous PO2s were 71.6 +/- 13.1 and 28.4 +/- 5.1 mmHg, while oxygen tension was 45.1 +/- 13.3 mmHg in arterioles and 30.1 +/- 10.7 mmHg in venules. The relatively low arteriolar PO2 and the small arteriolar-venular PO2 gradient indicate that some blood oxygen exits directly to the tissue or is shunted before reaching the capillaries. RBC velocity was the strongest correlate of microvascular PO2 (arterial correlation coefficient = 0.503 and venous correlation coefficient = 0.560, P < 0.001). Microvascular PO2 was also correlated with blood flow, vessel diameter, blood pH, and PCO2 but not with systemic PO2. Arterial oxygen tension was only significantly related to PCO2, pH, and hematocrit. These findings suggest that oxygen delivery to the tissue improves with increasing blood flow velocity and that microvascular PO2 is a locally regulated parameter in the absence of major systemic perturbations.
