ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Non-compressible torso hemorrhagic (NCTH) shock is the leading cause of potentially survivable trauma on the battlefield. New hypotensive drug therapies are urgently required to resuscitate and protect the heart and brain following NCTH. Our aim was to examine the strengths and limitations of permissive hypotension and discuss the development of small-volume adenosine, lidocaine, and Mg2+ (ALM) fluid resuscitation in rats and pigs. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

For review of permissive hypotension, a literature search was performed from inception up to November 2023 using PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases, with inclusion of animal studies, clinical trials and reviews with military and clinical relevance. For the preclinical study, adult female pigs underwent laparoscopic liver resection. After 30 minutes of bleeding, animals were resuscitated with 4 mL/kg 3% NaCl ± ALM bolus followed 60 minutes later with 4 h 3 mL/kg/h 0.9% NaCl ± ALM drip (n = 10 per group), then blood transfusion. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cardiac output (CO) were continuously measured via a left ventricular pressure catheter and pulmonary artery catheter, respectively. Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) was calculated using the formula 80 × (MAP - CVP)/CI. Oxygen delivery was calculated as the product of CO and arterial oxygen content.

RESULTS:

Targeting a MAP of ∼50 mmHg can be harmful or beneficial, depending on how CO and SVR are regulated. A theoretical example shows that for the same MAP of 50 mmHg, a higher CO and lower SVR can lead to a nearly 2-fold increase in O2 supply. We further show that in animal models of NCTH, 3% NaCl ALM bolus and 0.9% NaCl ALM drip induce a hypotensive, high flow, vasodilatory state with maintained tissue O2 supply and neuroprotection. ALM therapy increases survival by resuscitating the heart, reducing internal bleeding by correcting coagulopathy, and decreasing secondary injury.

CONCLUSIONS:

In rat and pig models of NCTH, small-volume ALM therapy resuscitates at hypotensive pressures by increasing CO and reducing SVR. This strategy is associated with heart and brain protection and maintained tissue O2 delivery. Translational studies are required to determine reproducibility and optimal component dosing. ALM therapy may find wide utility in prehospital and far-forward military environments.
