Inhaled, nebulized sodium nitrite protects in murine and porcine experimental models of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation by limiting mitochondrial injury.

ABSTRACT: The cellular injury that occurs in the setting of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HS/R) affects all tissue types and can drive altered inflammatory responses. Resuscitative adjuncts hold the promise of decreasing such injury. Here we test the hypothesis that sodium nitrite (NaNO2), delivered as a nebulized solution via an inhalational route, protects against injury and inflammation from HS/R.Mice underwent HS/R to a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 20 or 25 mmHg. Mice were resuscitated with Lactated Ringers after 90-120 min of hypotension. Mice were randomized to receive nebulized NaNO2 via a flow through chamber (30 mg in 5 mL PBS). Pigs (30-35 kg) were anesthetized and bled to a MAP of 30-40 mmHg for 90 min, randomized to receive NaNO2 (11 mg in 2.5 mL PBS) nebulized into the ventilator circuit starting 60 min into the hypotensive period, followed by initial resuscitation with Hextend. Pigs had ongoing resuscitation and support for up to four hours. Hemodynamic data were collected continuously.NaNO2 limited organ injury and inflammation in murine hemorrhagic shock. A nitrate/nitrite depleted diet exacerbated organ injury, as well as mortality, and inhaled NaNO2 significantly reversed this effect. Furthermore, NaNO2 limited mitochondrial oxidant injury. In porcine HS/R, NaNO2 had no significant influence on shock induced hemodynamics. NaNO2 limited hypoxia/reoxia or HS/R-induced mitochondrial injury and promoted mitochondrial fusion.NaNO2 may be a useful adjunct to shock resuscitation based on its limitation of mitochondrial injury.

Project description:BackgroundFast and effective treatment of hemorrhagic shock is one of the most important preclinical trauma care tasks e.g., in combat casualties in avoiding severe end-organ damage or death. In scenarios without immediate availability of blood products, alternate regimens of fluid resuscitation represent the only possibility of maintaining sufficient circulation and regaining adequate end-organ oxygen supply. However, the fluid choice alone may affect the extent of the bleeding by interfering with coagulation pathways. This study investigates the impact of hydroxyethyl starch (HES), gelatine-polysuccinate (GP) and balanced electrolyte solution (BES) as commonly used agents for fluid resuscitation on coagulation using a porcine hemorrhagic shock model.MethodsFollowing approval by the State and Institutional Animal Care Committee, life-threatening hemorrhagic shock was induced via arterial blood withdrawal in 24 anesthetized pigs. Isovolumetric fluid resuscitation with either HES, GP or BES (n = 3 × 8) was performed to compensate for the blood loss. Over four hours, hemodynamics, laboratory parameters and rotational thromboelastometry-derived coagulation were analyzed. As secondary endpoint the porcine values were compared to human blood.ResultsAll the agents used for fluid resuscitation significantly affected coagulation. We measured a restriction of laboratory parameters, clot development and clot firmness, particularly in HES- and GP-treated animals. Hemoglobin content dropped in all groups but showed a more pronounced decline in colloid-treated pigs. This effect was not maintained over the four-hour monitoring period.ConclusionHES, GP, and BEL sufficiently stabilized the macrocirculation, but significantly affected coagulation. These effects were most pronounced after colloid and particularly HES administration. Despite suitability for rapid hemodynamic stabilization, colloids have to be chosen with caution, because their molecular properties may affect coagulation directly and as a consequence of pronounced hemodilution. Our comparison of porcine and human coagulation showed increased coagulation activity in pig blood.

Project description:Transfusion of stored RBCs is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in trauma patients. Plasma hemoglobin scavenges nitric oxide, which can cause vasoconstriction, induce inflammation, and activate platelets. We hypothesized that transfusion of RBCs stored for prolonged periods would induce adverse effects (pulmonary vasoconstriction, tissue injury, inflammation, and platelet activation) in lambs subjected to severe hemorrhagic shock and that concurrent inhalation of nitric oxide would prevent these adverse effects.Animal study.Research laboratory at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA.Seventeen awake Polypay-breed lambs.Lambs were subjected to 2 hours of hemorrhagic shock by acutely withdrawing 50% of their blood volume. Lambs were resuscitated with autologous RBCs stored for 2 hours or less (fresh) or 39 ± 2 (mean ± SD) days (stored). Stored RBCs were administered with or without breathing nitric oxide (80 ppm) during resuscitation and for 21 hours thereafter.We measured hemodynamic and oxygenation variables, markers of tissue injury and inflammation, plasma hemoglobin concentrations, and platelet activation. Peak pulmonary arterial pressure was higher after resuscitation with stored than with fresh RBCs (24 ± 4 vs 14 ± 2 mm Hg, p < 0.001) and correlated with peak plasma hemoglobin concentrations (R = 0.56, p = 0.003). At 21 hours after resuscitation, pulmonary myeloperoxidase activity was higher in lambs resuscitated with stored than with fresh RBCs (11 ± 2 vs 4 ± 1 U/g, p = 0.007). Furthermore, transfusion of stored RBCs increased plasma markers of tissue injury and sensitized platelets to adenosine diphosphate activation. Breathing nitric oxide prevented the pulmonary hypertension and attenuated the pulmonary myeloperoxidase activity, as well as tissue injury and sensitization of platelets to adenosine diphosphate.Our data suggest that resuscitation of lambs from hemorrhagic shock with autologous stored RBCs induces pulmonary hypertension and inflammation, which can be ameliorated by breathing nitric oxide.

Project description:Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is often accompanied by hemorrhage, and treatment of hemorrhagic shock (HS) after TBI is particularly challenging because the two therapeutic treatment strategies for TBI and HS often conflict. Ischemia/reperfusion injury from HS resuscitation can be exaggerated by TBI-induced loss of autoregulation. In HS resuscitation, the goal is to restore lost blood volume, while in the treatment of TBI the priority is focused on maintenance of adequate cerebral perfusion pressure and avoidance of secondary bleeding. In this study, we investigate the responses to resuscitation from severe HS after TBI in rats, using fresh blood, polymerized human hemoglobin (PolyhHb), and lactated Ringer's (LR). Rats were subjected to TBI by pneumatic controlled cortical impact. Shortly after TBI, HS was induced by blood withdrawal to reduce mean arterial pressure (MAP) to 35-40 mmHg for 90 min before resuscitation. Resuscitation fluids were delivered to restore MAP to ~ 65 mmHg and animals were monitored for 120 min. Increased systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) confirmed TBI-induced loss of autoregulation. MAP after resuscitation was significantly higher in the blood and PolyhHb groups compared to the LR group. Furthermore, blood and PolyhHb restored diastolic pressure, while this remained depressed for the LR group, indicating a loss of vascular tone. Lactate increased in all groups during HS, and only returned to baseline level in the blood reperfused group. The PolyhHb group possessed lower SBPV compared to LR and blood groups. Finally, sympathetic nervous system (SNS) modulation was higher for the LR group and lower for the PolyhHb group compared to the blood group after reperfusion. In conclusion, our results suggest that PolyhHb could be an alternative to blood for resuscitation from HS after TBI when blood is not available, assuming additional testing demonstrate similar favorable results. PolyhHb restored hemodynamics and oxygen delivery, without the logistical constraints of refrigerated blood.
