Objective: Alterations in cerebral microvascular blood flow may develop during sepsis, but the consequences of these abnormalities on tissue oxygenation and metabolism are not well defined. We studied the evolution of microvascular blood flow, brain oxygen tension (Pbo(2)), and metabolism in a clinically relevant animal model of septic shock. Design: Prospective randomized animal study. Setting: University hospital research laboratory. Subjects: Fifteen invasively monitored and mechanically ventilated female sheep. Interventions: The sheep were randomized to fecal peritonitis (n = 10) or a sham procedure (n = 5), and craniectomies were performed to enable evaluation of cerebral microvascular blood flow, Pbo(2), and metabolism. The microvascular network of the left frontal cortex was evaluated (at baseline, 6, 12, and 18 hr) using sidestream dark-field videomicroscopy. Using an off-line semiquantitative method, functional capillary density and the proportion of small perfused vessels were calculated. Pbo(2) was measured hourly by a parenchymal Clark electrode, and cerebral metabolism was assessed by the lactate/pyruvate ratio using brain microdialysis; both these systems were placed in the right frontal cortex. Measurement and Main Results: In septic animals, cerebral functional capillary density (from 3.1 0.5 to 1.9 +/- 0.4 n/mm, p < 0.001) and proportion of small perfused vessels (from 98% +/- 2% to 84% +/- 7%, p = 0.004) decreased over the 18-hour study period. Concomitantly, Pbo(2) decreased (61 +/- 5 to 41 +/- 7 mm Hg, p < 0.001) and lactate/pyruvate ratio increased (23 +/- 5 to 36 +/- 19, p < 0.001). At 18 hours, when shock was present, animals with a mean arterial pressure less than 65 mm Hg (n = 6) had similar functional capillary density, proportion of small perfused vessels, and Pbo(2) values but significantly higher lactate/pyruvate ratio (46 +/- 18 vs 20 +/- 4, p = 0.009) compared with animals with an mean arterial pressure of 65-70 mm Hg (n = 4). Conclusions: Impaired cerebral microcirculation during sepsis is associated with progressive impairment in Pbo(2) and brain metabolism. Development of severe hypotension was responsible for a further increase in anaerobic metabolism. These alterations may play an important role in the pathogenesis of brain dysfunction during sepsis.
