BACKGROUND

Changes in tissue impedance (Ω) have been proposed as early signs of impaired tissue perfusion. We hypothesized that hemorrhage may induce early changes in alimentary tract tissue impedance and that these can be detected by impedance spectroscopy. We evaluated impedance spectroscopy in an acute hemorrhage model in pigs.

METHODS

Twenty anesthetized pigs were randomized to stepwise hemorrhage to mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) targets of 60 mm Hg, 50 mm Hg, 45 mm Hg, and 40 mm Hg, followed by retransfusion in two steps, or control (n = 10 each). In the end, 500 mL of enteral nutrition was administered in both groups. Ω in four sites (sublingually, esophagus, stomach, proximal jejunum) and cardiac output (Qtot thermodilution), superior mesenteric artery blood flow (QSMA; Doppler ultrasound), and jejunal mucosal blood flow (LDF; laser Doppler) were measured.

FINDINGS

The bleeding (total volume 838 ± 185 mL; mean ± SD) resulted in progressive hypotension (actual MAP 65 ± 3 mm Hg, 59 ± 4 mm Hg, 55 ± 5 mm Hg, and 46 ± 6 mm Hg) and decrease in Qtot, QSMA, and mucosal LDF. Bleeding did not change Ω in any of the monitoring sites. Retransfusion restored the blood flows to at least baseline levels, again without change in Ω. Enteral nutrition did not alter Ω or any of the blood flows.Five animals (three in the hemorrhage group, two in the control group) had histologically proven acute gastric focal necrosis at the site of It transducer.

CONCLUSIONS

Gastrointestinal impedance spectroscopy does not detect early changes in tissue perfusion during progressive hemorrhage or retransfusion. Ω spectroscopy is unlikely to provide any additional information of hypovolemia-induced early changes in gastrointestinal perfusion.
