Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of high-dose epinephrine, compared with standard-dose epinephrine, on the dynamics of superficial cortical cerebral blood flow as well as global cerebral oxygenation during experimental cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We hypothesized that high-dose epinephrine might be unable to improve cerebral blood flow during cardiopulmonary resuscitation as compared with standard-dose epinephrine. DESIGN:Randomized controlled study. SETTING:University hospital research laboratory. SUBJECTS:A total of 20 male anesthetized piglets. INTERVENTIONS:Ventricular fibrillation was induced. A nonintervention interval of 8 mins was followed by open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The animals were randomized to receive repeated bolus injections of either 20 microg/kg (standard-dose group, n = 10) or 200 microg/kg (high-dose group, n = 10) of epinephrine. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:Focal cortical cerebral blood flow was measured continuously by using laser Doppler flowmetry. The duration of blood flow increase was significantly shorter in the high-dose group after the second dose of epinephrine. In the high-dose group there was also a consistent tendency for lower peak levels and shorter duration of flow increase in response to repeated bolus doses of epinephrine. Cerebral oxygen extraction ratio was significantly lower in the high-dose group after administration of epinephrine. CONCLUSIONS:Repeated bolus doses of epinephrine 200 microg/kg, as compared with 20 microg/kg, do not improve superficial cortical cerebral blood flow during experimental open-chest cardiopulmonary resuscitation. High-dose epinephrine appears to induce vasoconstriction of cortical cerebral blood vessels resulting in redistribution of blood flow from superficial cortex. This might be one explanation for the failure of high-dose epinephrine to improve overall outcome in clinical trials.
