Migita, Russell, Armando Gonzales, Maria L. Gonzales, Kim D. Vandegriff, and Robert M. Winslow. Blood volume and cardiac index
in rats after exchange transfusion with hemoglobin-based oxygen
carriers. J. Appl. Physiol. 82(6):
1995-2002, 1997.
We have measured plasma volume and cardiac index
in rats after 50% isovolemic exchange transfusion with human
hemoglobin cross-linked between the
-chains with
bis(3,5-dibromosalicyl)fumarate (
Hb) and with bovine hemoglobin
modified with polyethylene glycol (PEGHb). 
Hb and PEGHb differ in
colloid osmotic pressure (23.4 and 118.0 Torr, respectively), oxygen
affinity (oxygen half-saturation pressure of hemoglobin = 30.0 and 10.2 Torr, respectively), viscosity (1.00 and 3.39 cP, respectively), and
molecular weight (64,400 and 105,000, respectively). Plasma volume was
measured by Evans blue dye dilution modified for interference by plasma
hemoglobin. Blood volumes in PEGHb-treated animals were significantly
elevated (74.0 ± 3.5 ml/kg) compared with animals treated with

Hb (49.0 ± 1.2 ml/kg) or Ringer lactate (48.0 ± 2.0 ml/kg) or with controls (58.2 ± 1.9 ml/kg). Heart rate reduction
after 
Hb exchange is opposite to that expected with blood volume
contraction, suggesting that 
Hb may have a direct myocardial
depressant action. The apparently slow elimination of PEGHb during the
2 h after its injection is a consequence of plasma volume expansion:
when absolute hemoglobin (concentration × plasma volume) is
compared for PEGHb and 
Hb, no difference in their elimination
rates is found. These studies emphasize the need to understand blood
volume regulation when the effects of cell-free hemoglobin on
hemodynamic measurements are evaluated.
