The effects on cardiac resuscitability of iso-osmolal solutions of tris-hydroxymethyl-aminomethane (tromethamine), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and sodium chloride placebo were compared in 30 domestic pigs using a well-established model of electrically induced cardiac arrest and resuscitation. We hypothesized that a carbon dioxide (CO2) consuming buffer like tromethamine would reduce and sodium bicarbonate would increase the respiratory acidosis of mixed venous blood, which had recently been demonstrated in our laboratory, Tromethamine did decrease and sodium bicarbonate did increase both arterial and mixed venous CO2 during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Both concentrations of end-tidal CO2 and coronary venous PCO2 were significantly lower after tromethamine than after bicarbonate. However, tromethamine produced an unexpected vasodilator effect with reduction of mean aortic and coronary perfusion pressures to levels that are known to reduce resuscitability and survival independently of its buffer action. Neither resuscitability nor survival was altered by bicarbonate therapy in comparison with sodium chloride placebo.

To examine the nature of the electroneutral sodium chloride absorptive process affected by arterial carbon dioxide tension (PCO2), we measured the effects of amiloride on colonic sodium absorption at concentrations (0.75 mM) known to inhibit cell membrane sodium-hydrogen ion exchange. During sequential in situ perfusions of distal colon with amiloride-free and amiloride-containing solutions, water and electrolyte transport was measured in anesthetized, mechanically ventilated rats during normocapnia, respiratory alkalosis, or respiratory acidosis. During amiloride-free perfusions, alkalosis decreased and acidosis increased net water, sodium, and chloride absorption without changing the transmural potential difference. Perfusion of amiloride (0.75 mM) caused a similar fractional decrease in net sodium absorption in alkalotic (-53.3 +/- 10.2%), normocapnic (-46.3 +/- 6.5%), and acidotic rats (-57.2 +/- 5.2%). Net water (-43%) and chloride absorption also exhibited equivalent fractional reductions in the three acid-base states during amiloride perfusion, although net chloride absorption was reduced only about 20%. These results suggest that the specific colonic sodium absorptive process affected by arterial PCO2 is an amiloride-sensitive, sodium-hydrogen ion exchange process. Arterial PCO2 probably also affects a mucosal chloride-bicarbonate exchange process that results in its overall effect on electroneutral sodium chloride absorption by the distal colon.

Arterial blood pressure, blood gas tensions (PaCO2, PaO2), and pH (pHa) were determined in 16 adult, nonpregnant Holstein cows (620 +/- 54 kg) given subarachnoid injection of a 5% procaine hydrochloride solution at the T13-L1 intervertebral space. Analgesia, as determined by response to superficial and deep muscular pinpricks at the L1 dermatome, was delayed (onset) 7 to 15 minutes, and it lasted (duration) 28 to 83 minutes. Thoracolumbar analgesia extending between spinal cord segments T9 and L4 on 1 or both sides of the spine produced significant (P less than 0.05) increases in heart rate and decreases in respiratory rate, but otherwise had no effect (P less than 0.05) on systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressures, PaCO2, PaO2, and pHa. Similarly, no significant changes (P less than 0.05) of physiologic variables were observed in a control group of 5 cows given a subarachnoidal injection of 0.9% sodium chloride solution at 1 hour before procaine hydrochloride was injected. It was concluded that the unsedated, healthy cow tolerates segmental subarachnoid analgesia between spinal segments T9 and L4 well and that this analgesia is not adversely affected by hypoxemia, respiratory acidosis, or hypotension.

To examine if bicarbonate reabsorption varies with filtered bicarbonate and plasma pH, we infused anesthetized dogs i.v. with sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate to alter plasma bicarbonate concentration (PHCO3) without changing hematocrit. Examinations in five dogs over a wide range of glomerular filtration rates (GFR) during ethacrynic acid infusion showed that bicarbonate reabsorption at equal filtered load and equal plasma pH of 7.5 was not significantly changed by increasing PHCO3 from 30.2 +/- 0.4 to 55.2 +/- 0.6 mM and PCO2 from 33.8 +/- 0.7 to 74.1 +/- 2.1 mm Hg. Examinations during respiratory and metabolic alkalosis in five dogs at plasma pH of 7.8 showed that bicarbonate reabsorption at equal filtered load was not significantly different at a PCO2 of 20.2 +/- 0.8 and 36.8 +/- 0.8 mm Hg. Finally, in five dogs that did not receive ethacrynic acid, plasma pH was lowered by inducing respiratory acidosis at a PHCO3 of 30 mM and raised during progressive respiratory and metabolic alkalosis, Bicarbonate reabsorption was linearly related to plasma pH within the range 7.1 to 7.85 (r = 0.92). By altering plasma pH by 0.1 unit, bicarbonate reabsorption was altered by 10 +/- 1%. Thus, filtered bicarbonate rather than GFR and plasma pH rather than PCO2 are important acute regulators of bicarbonate reabsorption. This regulation may be achieved by determining pH and bicarbonate concentration in the luminal fluid along the proximal tubules.

Pulmonary mechanics of anesthetized dogs were not changed or were minimally altered by breathing the following compounds as submicron aerosols in concentrations up to 17.3 mg/m3 for 7.5 min: (1) sodium chloride (as a control), (2) sodium sulfate, (3) ammonium sulfate, (4) zinc sulfate, (5) zinc ammonium sulfate, (6) ammonium bisulfate, (7) aluminum sulfate, (8) manganese sulfate, (9) nickel sulfate, (10) copper sulfate, (11) ferrous sulfate, and (12) ferric sulfate. Submicron aerosols of these compounds in concentrations of 4.1-8.8 mg/m3, administered for 4 h to anesthetized dogs, did not affect mechanics of breathing, hemodynamics, and arterial blood gases. In conscious sheep, tracheal mucous velocity was not altered by exposure to the submicron aerosols of the sulfate compounds. None of these compounds, injected iv in a dose of 1 mg, had adverse effects on mechanics of breathing, pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics, or arterial blood gases. In 100-mg injections, zinc sulfate and zinc ammonium sulfate produced a fall in cardiac output, systemic hypotension, hypoxemia, and metabolic acidosis. Copper sulfate at this dose produced pulmonary hypertension, a fall in cardiac output, hypoxemia, respiratory acidosis, and a decrease of specific total respiratory conductance. It is concluded that submicron aerosols of sulfate salts do not have adverse cardiopulmonary effects when administered in high concentrations for up to 4 h. However, prolonged exposure to high concentrations of zinc sulfate, zinc ammonium sulfate, and copper sulfate aerosols should be carefully monitored because of the possibility that lower levels of these compounds in the bloodstream for long time period might have adverse cardiopulmonary effects.
