Distribution of respiratory muscle and organ blood flow during endotoxic shock in dogs

S. N. Hussain and C. Roussos

Respiratory muscle blood flow and organ blood flow during endotoxic shock were studied in spontaneously breathing dogs (SB, n = 6) and mechanically ventilated dogs (MV, n = 5) with radiolabeled microspheres. Shock was produced by a 5-min intravenous injection of Escherichia coli endotoxin (0.55:B5, Difco, 10 mg/kg) suspended in saline. Mean arterial blood pressure and cardiac output in the SB group dropped to 59 and 45% of control values, respectively. There was a similar reduction in arterial blood pressure and cardiac output in the MV group. Total respiratory muscle blood flow in the SB group increased significantly from the control value of 51 +/- 4 ml/min (mean +/- SE) to 101 +/- 22 ml/min at 60 min of shock. In the MV group, respiratory muscle perfusion fell from control values of 43 +/- 12 ml/min to 25 +/- 3 ml/min at 60 min of shock. In the SB group, 8.8% of the cardiac output was received by the respiratory muscle during shock in comparison with 1.9% in the MV group. In both groups of dogs, blood flow to most organs was compromised during shock; however, blood flow to the brain, gut, and skeletal muscles was higher in the MV group than in the SB group. Thus by mechanical ventilation a fraction of the cardiac output used by the working respiratory muscles can be made available for perfusion of other organs during endotoxic shock.
