Popis: The effects of dobutamine (DOB) on myocardial performance, systemic hemodynamics, and oxygen delivery during acute normovolemic hemodilution in anesthetized rats were studied. Forty-two Sprague Dawley rats (body weight 375 to 425 g) were divided into six equal groups. Hemodynamic and cardiac indices were measured or calculated at baseline, 30 minutes after the initiation of hemodilution (HD), and 15 minutes after DOB or saline infusion. Myocardial performance in response to acute pressure or volume loads was studied in all groups of animals. HD to a hematocrit (Hct) value of 20% resulted in no change in heart rate (HR), increased CI, SVI, and LV dP/dt, and decreased MAP, SVRI, and oxygen delivery index (O2DI). HD increased peak SV and CI after preload stress while the left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) was unchanged. Infusion of DOB as 7.5 or 15 micrograms/kg/min increased HR, CI, and LV dP/dt as well as LVDP. At the same time, DOB decreased MAP and SVR, whereas the SVI remained unchanged. In non-HD animals both doses of DOB increased LVDP, but only the larger dose increased CI, whereas peak SV decreased with the smaller dose. Arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) increased, whereas pH and arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) decreased; however, O2DI remained unchanged. Concomitant hemodilution and DOB infusion resulted in attenuation of HR response to DOB, exaggerated the drop in MAP and SVR, and increased LV dP/dt. Only the larger dose of DOB increased the CI, whereas neither dose could alter the SVI in HD animals.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
