ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of pharmacologically induced hypothermia with WIN55, 212-2 (WIN)on postresuscitation myocardial function, microcirculation, and metabolism-specific lipids in a rat cardiac arrest (CA) model. Ventricular fibrillation was electrically induced and untreated for 6 minutes in 24 Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 450-550 g. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation including chest compression and mechanical ventilation was then initiated and continued for 8 minutes, followed by defibrillation. At 5 minutes after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), animals were randomized into four groups (1) normothermia with vehicle (NT); (2) physical hypothermia with vehicle (PH); (3) WIN55, 212-2 with normothermia (WN); and (4) WIN55, 212-2 with hypothermia (WH). For groups of WN and WH, WIN was administered by continuous intravenous infusion with a syringe pump for 4 hours. PH started at 5 minutes after resuscitation. NT maintained core temperature at 37°C ± 0.2°C with the aid of a heating blanket. Hypothermia groups maintained temperature at 33°C ± 0.5°C for 4 hours after ROSC. There was a significant improvement in myocardial function as measured by ejection fraction, cardiac output, and myocardial performance index in animals treated with WH and PH beginning at 1 hour after start of infusion. In the WH and PH groups, buccal microcirculation was significantly improved compared with NT and WN. Plasma at pre-CA and ROSC 4 hours was harvested for lipid metabolism. The WH group appeared to be closer to baseline than the other groups in lipid metabolism. lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) 182, free fatty acid (FFA) 226, and ceramide (CER) (240) changed significantly among the lipidomic data compared with NT (p < 0.05). Postresuscitation hypothermia improved myocardial function and microcirculation. WH-mediated lipid metabolism had the best metabolic outcome to bring back the animals to normal metabolism, which may be protective to improve outcomes of CA. LPC 182, FFA 226, and CER (240) may be important predictors of outcomes of CA.
