title: [Animal experiment studies on hemodynamics following partial and total blood exchange with a pyridoxalated polyhemoglobin solution].
abstract: The effects of a pyridoxalated polyhaemoglobin (SFH-PLP)n-solution on haemodynamics were investigated in a model of partial (hct = 12%) and total blood exchange (hct less than 1%) in 7 dogs. Partial blood exchange resulted in a slight increase in right atrial pressure (RAP) and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) and in a marked decrease in heart rate (HR). Cardiac output (CO) did not increase as would be expected from haemodilution. After total blood exchange, arterial pressure, HR, RAP, PCWP and CO were unchanged compared to the pre-exchange values during the 90 minutes of observation. However, pronounced pulmonary vasoconstriction was observed in 4 dogs. The beneficial effects on haemodynamics are due to the long intravascular persistance of the polymerized haemoglobin molecules (plasma half-disappearance time = 36 hours) and the addition of albumin supplying a sufficient colloid-osmotic pressure of the solution. These characteristics and the good oxygen unloading capacity of the pyridoxalated polyhaemoglobin resulted in longterm survival of three dogs. These results demonstrate a better haemodynamic efficacy of the (SFH-PLP)n-solution compared to previous investigations with unmodified haemoglobin solutions. However, there are still many problems, which have to be clarified prior to its clinical application.
