    AbstractSmall volumes of hypertonic saline dextran (10% of shed blood volume [SBV] restore cardiac output (CO) and increase arterial pressure in hemorrhagic shock. Besides rapid expansion of plasma volume, a positive inotropic effect has been proposed as an additional mechanism for the immediate onset of the cardiovascular response. This study compares the effects of 7.2% saline/10% dextran 60 (HSDex, n = 8) and normal saline (NS; n = 6) on central hemodynamics and cardiac contractility assessed by end-systolic elastance (Ees; conductance technique) and segmental preload recruitable stroke work (sPRSW; sonomicrometry). In anesthetized open chest pigs (28 +/- 1 kg, mean +/- SEM) shock was induced by blood withdrawal (40% of blood volume) to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 45 mm Hg for 75 min. Resuscitation was started by bolus infusion (2 min) of either HSDex (10% of SBV) or the identical sodium load of NS (80% of SBV); 30 min later both groups received 6% dextran (10% of SBV). Hemorrhagic shock reduced CO (-45%) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (Ved; -70%) while Ees increased (NS:2.2 +/- 0.4 to 7.5 +/- 1.8 mm Hg/mL, P < 0.05; HSDex: 1.9 +/- 0.2 to 9.1 +/- 2.6 mm Hg/mL, P = 0.085). Within 5 min after infusion of either solution CO returned to baseline values and MAP (NS +55%, HSDex +64%) and Ved (+100%) increased. Neither HSDex nor NS increased Ees above shock levels (NS, 8.7 +/- 4.9 mm Hg/mL; HSDex, 7.3 +/- 2.6 mm Hg/mL) and no group differences occurred in other measurements of contractility (dP/dt40,sPRSW). Plasma osmolality increased to 328 +/- 3 mOsmol/kg with HSDex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
