We also aimed to assess the influence of metabolic acidosis and Haldane effects on the PCO2/ CO2 content relationship. In a vascularly isolated, innervated dog hindlimb perfused with a pump-membrane oxygenator system, the oxygen delivery ( DO2) was lowered in a stepwise manner to decrease it beyond critical DO2 ( DO2crit) by lowering either arterial PO2 (HH-model) or flow (IH-model). Twelve anesthetized and mechanically ventilated dogs were studied, 6 in each model. Limb DO2, oxygen consumption ( ˙ VO 2 ), ΔPCO2/ΔO2, and ΔCCO2D/ΔO2 were obtained every 15 min. Beyond DO2crit, ˙ VO 2 decreased, indicating dysoxia. ΔPCO2/ΔO2, and ΔCCO2D/ΔO2 increased significantly only after reaching DO2crit in both models. At DO2crit, ΔPCO2/ΔO2 was significantly higher in the HH-model than in the IH-model (1.82 ± 0.09 vs. 1.39 ± 0.06, p = 0.002). At DO2crit, ΔCCO2D/ΔO2 was not significantly different between the two groups (0.87 ± 0.05 for IH vs. 1.01 ± 0.06 for HH, p = 0.09). Below DO2crit, we observed a discrepancy between the behavior of the two indices. In both models, ΔPCO2/ΔO2 continued to increase significantly (higher in the HH-model), whereas ΔCCO2D/ΔO2 tended to decrease to become not significantly different from its baseline in the IH-model. Metabolic acidosis significantly influenced the PCO2/ CO2 content relationship, but not the Haldane effect. ΔPCO2/ΔO2 was able to depict the occurrence of anaerobic metabolism in both tissue hypoxia models. However, at very low DO2 values, ΔPCO2/ΔO2 did not only reflect the ongoing anaerobic metabolism; it was confounded by the effects of metabolic acidosis on the CO2– hemoglobin dissociation curve, and then it should be interpreted with caution.Show less >
