Abstract:1. The haemodynamic response to acute central hypovolaemia consists of two phases. During phase I, arterial pressure is well maintained in the face of falling cardiac output (CO) by baroreceptor-mediated reflex vasoconstriction and cardio-acceleration. Phase II commences once CO has fallen to a critical level of 50-60% of its resting value, equivalent to loss of approximately 30% of blood volume. 2. During phase II, sympathetic vasoconstrictor and cardiac drive fall abruptly and cardiac vagal drive increases. … Show more
“…AVP gene transcription increases rapidly after hypotensive haemorrhage [37] and the sympathoinhibitory phase of haemorrhagic shock is characterised by increased plasma AVP concentration [11]. Indeed, the present results demonstrate 14.1-and 17.5-fold higher plasma AVP levels in the post-bleeding period in comparison to the baseline values.…”

“…There are two integrated phases of haemodynamic and neurohumoral response to blood loss [11]. An initial phase is characterised by good maintenance of MAP due to a reflexinduced increase in the sympathetic system activity.…”

“…An initial phase is characterised by good maintenance of MAP due to a reflexinduced increase in the sympathetic system activity. In contrast, there is a rapid decrease in MAP with bradycardia in the second phase of regulation as a result of withdrawal of the sympathetic tone (sympathoinhibitory phase), despite activation of humoral compensatory mechanisms, such as secretion of adrenal catecholamines and arginine vasopressin (AVP), and activation of the renin-angiotensin system [11]. Previous studies by the author clearly show the role of the sympathetic nervous system [12] and the renin-angiotensin system [13] in the central histamine-induced reversal of the sympathoinhibitory phase.…”

“…Indeed, critical hypotension is associated with pronounced bradycardia [3 -4], which, as postulated, results from the stimulation of left ventricular unmyelinated nerve fibres and a reflexinduced increase in parasympathetic and a decrease in sympathetic activity [22]. The study confirms that hypotension of 20 -25 mmHg is associated with an extreme decrease in CI and an increase in TPRI.…”

“…The study confirms that hypotension of 20 -25 mmHg is associated with an extreme decrease in CI and an increase in TPRI. Rises in regional vascular resistance can be explained by the activation of humoral compensatory mechanisms in the post-bleeding period [22].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
