Young domestic swine, 6 animals per group, were subjected | |
to 30 and 50% hemorrhage of their estimated blood volume | |
over a 1-hour period while in a conscious recumbent | |
state. Before and for 5 hours after hemorrhage, | |
hemodynamic functions were measured to assess the | |
characteristics of spontaneous recovery from hemorrhagic | |
hypotension. Six additional pigs, treated similarly | |
except for hemorrhage, served as controls. Immediately | |
after 30% hemorrhage, arterial mean, systolic, and | |
diastolic blood pressure were 79, 104, and 59 mm Hg, | |
respectively. During th 5-hour recovery period, these | |
pressures reverted to 105, 129, and 81 mm Hg which were | |
nearly the same as pre-hemorrhage values. Heart rates | |
were unaltered by hemorrhage but increased slightly | |
during recovery. Pulse pressure was not significantly | |
affected by hemorrhage or recovery, while hematocrits | |
declined during and following blood loss. After 50% | |
hemorrhage, arterial mean, systolic, and diastolic | |
pressures were 46, 79, and 26 mm Hg, respectively. During | |
the recovery period these pressures rose to 81, 104, and | |
62 mm Hg; all of these values remained significantly | |
below pre-hemorrhage values. Pulse pressure increased | |
significantly during the recovery period, while | |
hematocrits decreased to an even greater degree than | |
those in the 30% group. In both hemorrhage groups | |
spontaneous recovery was associated with a progressive | |
decrease in hematocrit which reflected a transfer of | |
interstitial fluid to the circulation. | |
