Plasma viscosity regulates capillary perfusion during extreme hemodilution in hamster skinfold model

Effect of increasing blood viscosity during extreme hemodilution on capillary perfusion and tissue oxygenation was investigated in the awake hamster skinfold model. Two isovolemic hemodilution steps were performed with 6% Dextran 70 [molecular weight (MW) = 70,000] until systemic hematocrit (Hct) was reduced by 65%. A third step reduced Hct by 75% and was performed with the same solution [low viscosity (LV)] or a high-molecular-weight 6% Dextran 500 solution [MW = 500,000, high viscosity (HV)]. Final plasma viscosities were 1.4 and 2.2 cP (baseline of 1.2 cP). Hct was reduced to 11.2 ± 1.1% from 46.2 ± 1.5% for LV and to 11.9 ± 0.7% from 47.3 ± 2.1% for HV. HV produced a greater mean arterial blood pressure than LV. Functional capillary density (FCD) was substantially higher after HV (85 ± 12%) vs. LV (38 ± 30%) vs. baseline (100%). PO2 levels measured with Pd-porphyrin phosphorescence microscopy were not statistically changed from baseline until after the third hemodilution step. Wall shear rate (WSR) decreased in arterioles and venules after LV and only in arterioles after HV. Wall shear stress (WSR × plasma viscosity) was substantially higher after HV vs. LV. Increased mean arterial pressure and shear stress-dependent release of endothelium-derived relaxing factor are possible mechanisms that improved arteriolar and venular blood flow and FCD after HV vs. LV exchange protocols.
