We have described whole body oxygen (O2) extraction ratio (ER) as a reliable indicator of transfusion need in acute normovolemic anemia. In normal hearts, myocardial lactate production (-LACT), indicating anaerobic metabolism, does not occur until the ER greater than 50% and Hct less than 10%. It is not known if the ER is valid in the setting of limited coronary vascular reserve. This study assesses the effect of a critical left anterior descending (LAD) coronary stenosis on the compensation to acute blood loss anemia. Adult dogs were anesthetized, paralyzed, and mechanically ventilated. A critical LAD stenosis was created in seven animals (STEN). There were seven controls (CON). Animals underwent isovolemic exchange transfusion with 6% HES until cardiac failure (CF). Catheters were placed in the aorta, pulmonary artery, and anterior interventricular coronary vein. Cardiac failure occurred at Hct = 8.6% +/- 0.4% in the CON and 17.0% +/- 0.5% in the STEN animals. Cardiac output increased in the CON, but not in the STEN animals. Blood flow in the LAD increased in the CON but not the STEN animals. -LACT began in the CON and STEN animals at Hct less than 20% and coincided with an ER greater than 50% in both groups. We conclude that CF occurs at a higher hematocrit with a critical LAD stenosis. The whole body ER greater than 50% remains a valid indicator of myocardial metabolism in anemia in the presence of limited coronary vascular reserve. The ER may be a useful guide to transfusion therapy.

D007773 Lactates Salts or esters of LACTIC ACID containing the general formula CH3CHOHCOOR.
D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body. (Stedman, 25th ed, p346) Consumption, Oxygen,Consumptions, Oxygen,Oxygen Consumptions
D002303 Cardiac Output, Low A state of subnormal or depressed cardiac output at rest or during stress. It is a characteristic of CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES, including congenital, valvular, rheumatic, hypertensive, coronary, and cardiomyopathic. The serious form of low cardiac output is characterized by marked reduction in STROKE VOLUME, and systemic vasoconstriction resulting in cold, pale, and sometimes cyanotic extremities.

D003326 Coronary Circulation The circulation of blood through the CORONARY VESSELS of the HEART. Circulation, Coronary
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D005078 Exchange Transfusion, Whole Blood Repetitive withdrawal of small amounts of blood and replacement with donor blood until a large proportion of the blood volume has been exchanged. Used in treatment of fetal erythroblastosis, hepatic coma, sickle cell anemia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, septicemia, burns, thrombotic thrombopenic purpura, and fulminant malaria.
D006400 Hematocrit The volume of packed RED BLOOD CELLS in a blood specimen. The volume is measured by centrifugation in a tube with graduated markings, or with automated blood cell counters. It is an indicator of erythrocyte status in disease. For example, ANEMIA shows a low value; POLYCYTHEMIA, a high value.
