Abstract

Controversial evidence is available regarding suitable targets for the arterial O2 tension (PaO2) after traumatic brain injury and/or hemorrhagic shock (HS). We previously demonstrated that hyperoxia during resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock attenuated cardiac injury and renal dysfunction in swine with coronary artery disease. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of targeted hyperoxemia in a long-term, resuscitated model of combined acute subdural hematoma (ASDH)-induced brain injury and HS. The prospective randomized, controlled, resuscitated animal investigation consisted of 15 adult pigs. Combined ASDH plus HS was induced by injection of 0.1 ml/kg autologous blood into the subdural space followed by controlled passive removal of blood. Two hours later, resuscitation was initiated comprising re-transfusion of shed blood, fluids, continuous i.v. noradrenaline, and either hyperoxemia (target PaO2 200 – 250 mmHg) or normoxemia (target PaO2 80 – 120 mmHg) during the first 24 h of the total of 54 h of intensive care. Systemic hemodynamics, intracranial and cerebral perfusion pressures, parameters of brain microdialysis and blood biomarkers of brain injury did not significantly differ between the two groups. According to the experimental protocol, PaO2 was significantly higher in the hyperoxemia group at the end of the intervention period, i.e., at 24 h of resuscitation, which coincided with a higher brain tissue PO2. The latter persisted until the end of observation period. While neurological function as assessed using the veterinary Modified Glasgow Coma Score progressively deteriorated in the control group, it remained unaffected in the hyperoxemia animals, however, without significant intergroup difference. Survival times did not significantly differ in the hyperoxemia and control groups either. Despite being associated with higher brain tissue PO2 levels, which were sustained beyond the intervention period, targeted hyperoxemia exerted neither significantly beneficial nor deleterious effects after combined ASDH and HS in swine with pre-existing coronary artery disease. The unavailability of a power calculation and, thus, the limited number of animals included, are the limitations of the study.
