Abstract
If not cured promptly, tissue ischemia and hypoxia can cause serious consequences or even threaten the life of the patient. Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier-201 (HBOC-201), bovine hemoglobin polymerized by glutaraldehyde and stored in a modified Ringer's lactic acid solution, has been investigated as a blood substitute for clinical use. HBOC-201 was approved in South Africa in 2001 to treat patients with low hemoglobin (Hb) levels when red blood cells (RBCs) are contraindicated, rejected, or unavailable. By promoting oxygen diffusion and convective oxygen delivery, HBOC-201 may act as a direct oxygen donor and increase oxygen transfer between RBCs and between RBCs and tissues. Therefore, HBOC-201 is gradually finding applications in treating various ischemic and hypoxic diseases including traumatic hemorrhagic shock, hemolysis, myocardial infarction, cardiopulmonary bypass, perioperative period, organ transplantation, etc. However, side effects such as vasoconstriction and elevated methemoglobin caused by HBOC-201 are major concerns in clinical applications because Hbs are not encapsulated by cell membranes. This study summarizes preclinical and clinical studies of HBOC-201 applied in various clinical scenarios, outlines the relevant mechanisms, highlights potential side effects and solutions, and discusses the application prospects. Randomized trials with large samples need to be further studied to better validate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of HBOC-201 to the extent where patient-specific treatment strategies would be developed for various clinical scenarios to improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Noncompressible hemorrhage is a leading cause of potentially survivable combat death, with the vast majority of such deaths occurring in the out-of-hospital environment. While large animal models of this process are important for device and therapeutic development, clinical practice has changed over time and past models must follow suit. Developed in conjunction with regulatory feedback, this study presents a modernized, out-of-hospital, noncompressible hemorrhage model, in conjunction with a randomized study of past, present, and future fluid options following a hypotensive resuscitation protocol consistent with current clinical practice. METHODS We performed a randomized controlled experiment comparing three fluid resuscitation options in Yorkshire swine. Baseline data from animals of same size from previous experiments were analyzed (n = 70), and mean systolic blood pressure was determined, with a permissive hypotension resuscitation target defined as a 25% decrease from normal (67 mm Hg). After animal preparation, a grade IV to V liver laceration was induced. Animals bled freely for a 10-minute "time-to-responder" period, after which resuscitation occurred with randomized fluid in boluses to the goal target: 6% hetastarch in lactated electrolyte injection (HEX), normal saline (NS), or fresh whole blood (FWB). Animals were monitored for a total simulated "delay to definitive care" period of 2 hours postinjury. RESULTS At the end of the 2-hour study period, 8.3% (1 of 12 swine) of the HEX group, 50% (6 of 12 swine) of the NS group, and 75% (9 of 12 swine) of the FWB had survived (p = 0.006), with Holm-Sidak pairwise comparisons showing a significant difference between HEX and FWB and (p = 0.005). Fresh whole blood had significantly higher systemic vascular resistance and hemoglobin levels compared with other groups (p = 0.003 and p = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION Survival data support the movement away from HEX toward NS and, preferably, FWB in clinical practice and translational animal modeling. The presented model allows for future research including basic science, as well as translational studies of novel diagnostics, therapeutics, and devices.

Abstract
We have previously proposed the annelid-derived protein, hemerythrin, as a viable replacement for hemoglobin in the synthesis of semi-synthetic oxygen carriers ("blood substitutes"). Here, we report the first in vivo tests for potential hemerythrin-based oxygen carriers (HrBOC), using a battery of experiments involving Wistar rats and previously tested on a series of hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier candidates (HBOC). At the concentrations tested, hemerythrin appears to behave similarly to hemoglobin - including, importantly, immunological effects. The antioxidant strategies based on albumin as well as based on rubrerythrin appear to offer observable physiological advantages.

Abstract
Hemorrhaged animals have benefited from resuscitation with the hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC-201). Co-infusion of nitric oxide (NO) via separate intravascular lines is effective in attenuating HBOC-induced elevation of blood pressure. We tested whether nitroglycerin (NTG) and HBOC-201 can be packaged together as a single drug for resuscitation. Since NTG binds easily to plastics such as polyvinylchloride, we assessed the stability of this combination in oxygen barrier double-layer ethylene-vinyl alcohol/polyolefin bags over a 30-day period. Outcome measures indicative of the stability of HBOC/NTG were reported as changes in levels of hemoglobin (Hb), methemoglobin (MetHb), NTG, and nitrite over time. Individual tightly sealed small aliquots of HBOC/NTG were prepared under nitrogen and analyzed in a timely fashion from 0 to 30 days using hematology instruments, HPLC, FPLC, and chemiluminescence. The level of NTG in the HBOC/NTG mixture was reduced significantly over time whereas it was stable in control mixtures of NTG/saline. The level of total Hb in the HBOC/NTG and HBOC/saline mixtures remained stable over time. MetHb formed and increased to 6% up to day 1 and then slowly decreased in the HBOC/NTG mixture whereas it remained unchanged in the HBOC/saline mixture. Nitrite was produced in the HBOC/NTG group upon mixing, was increased at day 1, and then became undetectable. The reaction between HBOC-201 and NTG occurring upon mixing and developing over time in polyolefin bags makes the long-term storage of this mixed combination inappropriate.

Abstract
This case describes a 46-year-old male recipient of a kidney-pancreas transplant who is Jehovah's Witness. Early in the postoperative period, he was found to have splenic vein thrombosis requiring heparin infusion. Two days later, he developed severe symptomatic anemia (hemoglobin <6 g/dL). Standard medical therapy for bloodless surgical patients with severe anemia was instituted. Nevertheless, the patient's hemoglobin concentration continued to decline to critical levels (2 g/dL). Because he was Jehovah's Witness, transfusion of allogeneic blood products was not an option, prompting use of a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC). After approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the local institutional review board, 12 U of HBOC-201 were transfused over a period of 8 days. Two weeks later, the patient's hemoglobin levels had increased to 6.8 g/dL. The patient's overall clinical condition improved, and he was discharged home. This case describes the first use of HBOC transfusion in a double solid organ transplant patient. HBOC may represent a viable option in patients with severe symptomatic anemia when allogeneic blood transfusion is not an option.

Abstract
The effects of polymerized porcine hemoglobin (pPolyHb) on hemodynamic stability and maintenance of mesenteric microvascular function were explored in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock (HS). Following controlled hemorrhage, rats were infused with equal volumes of either pPolyHb, hetastarch (HES), or red blood cell (RBC). The results showed that pPolyHb was superior to HES and RBC in restoring hemodynamic stability and reversing anaerobic metabolism. We observed a reduction in the diameter of mesenteric microvasculature after HS. Resuscitation with pPolyHb and RBC was able to restore the diameters of the venules and arterioles, whereas HES failed to restore the diameters during the observation period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate neutrophil activation after exposure to standard HBC-201 (suspended in lactate Ringer's solution) versus HBOC-201 suspended in hypertonic 7.5% saline solution. METHODS We use plasma and tissue obtained from pigs subjected to controlled hemorrhagic shock and an ex vivo model of stimulated human whole blood. The pigs were resuscitated with the following (n = 8 per group) standard HBOC-201, or hypertonic HBOC-201. We used HTS 7.5%, Ringer's lactate as control resuscitation. Human blood was stimulated with same fluids. We measured the following neutrophil markers; IL-8, H2O2 in pig plasma, MPO in pig tissue, and H2O2, IL-8, and CD11b/CD18 in human whole blood. RESULTS H2O2 and IL-8 as well as tissue MPO were significantly decreased in pigs resuscitated with HT-HBOC-201 and HT 7.5%. Ex vivo experiments blood diluted with HTS and HT-HBOC-201 revealed lower expression of CD11b/CD18, H2O2, and IL-8. Blood diluted with HBOC-201 had a higher CD11b/CD18 expression than blood diluted with LR solution. CONCLUSION Our in vivo and ex vivo experiments indicate that HBOC-201 suspended in hypertonic 7.5% saline solution is associated with significantly less neutrophil activation when compared to standard HBOC-201 suspended in lactate Ringer's solution.

Abstract
UNLABELLED OBJECTIVES The authors present a novel approach to nonresectional therapy in major hepatic trauma utilizing intraabdominal perihepatic vacuum assisted closure (VAC) therapy in the porcine model of Grade V liver injury. METHODS A Grade V injury was created in the right lobe of the liver in a healthy pig. A Pringle maneuver was applied (4.5 minutes total clamp time) and a vacuum assisted closure device was placed over the injured lobe and connected to suction. The device consisted of a perforated plastic bag placed over the liver, followed by a 15 cm by 15cm VAC sponge covered with a nonperforated plastic bag. The abdomen was closed temporarily. Blood loss, cardiopulmonary parameters and bladder pressures were measured over a one-hour period. The device was then removed and the animal was euthanized. RESULTS Feasibility of device placement was demonstrated by maintenance of adequate vacuum suction pressures and seal. VAC placement presented no major technical challenges. Successful control of ongoing liver hemorrhage was achieved with the VAC. Total blood loss was 625 ml (20ml/kg). This corresponds to class II hemorrhagic shock in humans and compares favorably to previously reported estimated blood losses with similar grade liver injuries in the swine model. No post-injury cardiopulmonary compromise or elevated abdominal compartment pressures were encountered, while hepatic parenchymal perfusion was maintained. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate the feasibility and utility of a perihepatic negative pressure device for the treatment of hemorrhage from severe liver injury in the porcine model.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Unavailability of blood (and oxygen delivery) for pre-hospital resuscitation in haemorrhagic shock patients are major problems, supporting the importance for novel resuscitation strategies. In a combined polytrauma model of uncontrolled haemorrhage and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in swine, we investigated if pre-hospital administration of the haemoglobin based oxygen carrier HBOC-201 will improve tissue oxygenation and physiologic parameters compared to Lactated Ringer's (LR) solution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anaesthetised Yorkshire swine underwent fluid-percussion TBI and Grade III liver laceration. During a 30-min pre-hospital phase, the animals were resuscitated with a single infusion of HBOC-201, LR solution, or nothing (NON). Upon hospital arrival, the animals were given blood or normal saline as needed. Surviving animals were euthanised 6h post-injury. Cerebral blood flow was measured by microsphere injection, and pathology was assessed by gross observation and immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS Mean TBI force (2.4±0.1atm) (means±standard error of the mean) and blood loss (22.5±1.7mL/kg) were similar between groups. Survival at the 6h endpoint was similar in all groups (∼50%). Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and brain tissue oxygen tension were significantly greater in HBOC-201 as compared with LR animals (p<0.005). Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) were not significantly different amongst groups. Blood transfusion requirements were delayed in HBOC-201 animals. Animals treated with HBOC-201 or LR showed no immunohistopathological differences in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP-2). Severity of subarachnoid and intraparenchymal haemorrhages were similar for HBOC and LR groups. CONCLUSION In this polytrauma swine model of uncontrolled haemorrhage and TBI with a 30-min delay to hospital arrival, pre-hospital resuscitation with one bolus of HBOC-201 indicated short term benefits in systemic and cerebrovascular physiological parameters. True clinical benefits of this strategy need to be confirmed on TBI and haemorrhagic shock patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vasoconstriction is a side effect that may prevent the use of haemoglobin based oxygen carrier (HBOC) as blood substitute. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that the NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP), would mitigate systemic and pulmonary hypertension associated with HBOC-201 in a simple controlled haemorrhage swine model. METHODS After 55% estimated blood volume withdrawal through a venous catheter, invasively anesthetized and instrumented animals were resuscitated with three 10 ml/kg infusions of either HBOC-201 or Hextend (HEX) with or without 0.8 μg/kg/min SNP (infused concomitantly via different lines). Haemodynamics, direct and indirect measures of tissue oxygenation, and coagulation were measured for 2h. RESULTS Haemorrhage caused a state of shock manifested by hypotension and base deficit. HBOC-201 resuscitation resulted in higher systemic (p<0.0001) and pulmonary (p<0.002) blood pressure than with HEX. Elevation of systemic (p<0.0001) but not pulmonary (p>0.05) arterial pressure was attenuated by co-infusion of SNP, without significant group differences in haemodynamics, tissue oxygenation, platelet function, coagulation, methaemoglobin, or survival (p>0.05). CONCLUSION In swine with haemorrhagic shock, co-administration of the NO donor, SNP, effectively and safely reduces HBOC-201-related systemic but not pulmonary vasoactivity. Interestingly, co-administration of the vasodilator SNP with HEX had no deleterious effects in comparison with HEX alone.

Abstract
This study determined the effects of serial, normovolemic, stepwise exchange transfusions with either 6% human serum albumin (HSA) or the hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier, HBOC-201, on tissue oxygenation of the heart, brain, and kidney in intact anaesthetized pigs. Exchange transfusions to 10%, 30%, and 50% of the pigs' total blood volume were completed at a withdrawal rate of 1.0 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1) followed by an infusion rate of 0.5 mL·kg(-1)·min(-1) of HBOC-201 or iso-oncotically matched 6% HSA. Measurements included invasive systemic hemodynamic (blood pressures, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure), hematolic (hemoglobin, hematocrit, methemoglobin), acid-base (pH, PCO2), and biochemistry (serum lactate) measurements. Brain and kidney tissue oxygenation (tPO2) was determined by electron paramagnetic resonance and heart tPO2 by O2 sensitive fiberoptic probe. The main results demonstrated that tPO2 after HBOC-201 remained stable despite significant decreases in hematocrit and changing hemodynamics. In vivo tPO2 measurements (heart tPO2 average ≥22 mmHg, brain tPO2 average ≥8 mmHg, and kidney tPO2 average ≥10 mmHg) were maintained in all groups at all times. Blood pressures were 20 to 30 mmHg higher after HBOC-201 compared with HSA controls. Heart rate and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure were not different among treatment groups. In conclusion, the administration of HBOC-201 maintained tPO2 in three vital organs after profound hemodilution.

Abstract
Exsanguinating hemorrhage and unavailability of blood are major problems in pre-hospital trauma care. We investigated if combining rFVIIa with HBOC-201 reduces blood loss and improves physiologic parameters compared to HBOC alone. Swine underwent liver injury and were resuscitated with HBOC-201 alone or HBOC+90, 180 or 360 μg/kg rFVIIa before hospital arrival at 240 min; animals survived to 72 hours. Blood loss was reduced; MAP, CI, transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and 72-hour survival improved in the 90 and 180 μg/kg rFVIIa groups. Lactate was cleared faster in the HBOC+rFVIIa 90 μg/kg group. Verification in a large, well-powered study is indicated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent data suggest that the timing of fluid resuscitation and the type of fluid used to treat hemorrhagic shock contribute to the inflammatory response as well as cell death. METHODS Rats were bled of 40% of their total blood volume and then resuscitated in either early or delayed fashion. Treatment was assigned randomly and consisted of lactated Ringer's solution, normal saline, bicarbonate Ringer's solution, hypertonic saline, or no resuscitation. The first four groups were subdivided into early and late resuscitation. After a 5-h observation period, lung and liver samples were evaluated for apoptosis, and blood was collected for measurements of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and IL-1beta. RESULTS The rats that were not resuscitated had significantly more apoptosis in liver tissue. In the lung, bicarbonate Ringer's solution, when given early, was associated with significantly less apoptosis. Non-resuscitated rats had significantly higher IL-6 concentrations than all other groups. Animals receiving hypertonic saline early had significantly higher IL-6 concentrations than those given any other fluid. The concentration of IL-1beta was significantly higher in the non-resuscitated rats than in those receiving bicarbonate Ringer's, lactated Ringer's, or normal saline for early resuscitation. Interleukin-10 was elevated significantly in non-resuscitated rats. CONCLUSIONS Cellular destruction and a pro-inflammatory response follow hemorrhagic shock. Early resuscitation with isotonic crystalloid fluids decreases these responses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vasoconstriction, an inherent property of Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOC) potentially due to nitric oxide (NO) scavenging, may increase cardiovascular complications in HBOC resuscitated trauma patients. The purpose of this study was to determine if co-administration of a weak NO donor, intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG), with HBOC-201 during resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock could safely attenuate HBOC-201 vasoconstriction. METHODS AND RESULTS Hemorrhagic shock was induced in 44 swine randomized to receive fluid resuscitation with HBOC, HBOC+NTG10 mcg/kg/min, HBOC+NTG20 mcg/kg/min, HBOC+NTG40 mcg/kg/min, Hetastarch (HES), HES+NTG20 mcg/kg/min, NTG20 mcg/kg/min and Lactated Ringers (LR). HBOC resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock increased mean arterial pressure (MAP=94+/-33 mmHg), mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP=29+/-11 mmHg) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR=2684+/-871 dyns/cm(5)) in comparison to HES. Co-administration of NTG during HBOC resuscitation attenuated vasoconstriction with HBOC+40 mcg/kg/min demonstrating the most robust reduction in vasoconstriction (MAP=59+/-23 mmHg, MPAP=18+/-7 mmHg, and SVR=1827+/-511 dyns/cm(5)), although the effects were transient. Co-administration of NTG with HBOC did not alter base deficit, lactate, methemoglobin levels, nor cause profound hypotension during resuscitation. CONCLUSION Nitroglycerin attenuates vasoconstrictive properties of HBOC when co-administered during resuscitation in this swine model of hemorrhagic shock. Translational survival studies are required to determine if this strategy of attenuation of the vasoconstriction of HBOC-201 reduces cardiovascular complications and improves outcome with HBOC fluid resuscitation for hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish the efficacy of Oxyglobin (HB-200) in canine babesiosis and compare it to standard therapy, packed red blood cell transfusion (pRBCT) with respect to improvements in specific parameters of blood gas, acid-base, blood pressure, and subjective evaluations. DESIGN Prospective, randomized, clinical trial. SETTING Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital. ANIMALS Twelve dogs (8-25 kg) naturally infected with Babesia rossi and a hematocrit of 0.1-0.2 L/L (10-20%). INTERVENTIONS Treatment groups were randomized to receive either 20 mL/kg of Oxyglobin or pRBCT over 4 hours via a central venous catheter. Transfusions were followed by lactated Ringer's solution infusion. Rectal temperature, femoral arterial and mixed venous blood sampling, oscillometric blood pressure, and subjective assessment of patient status (habitus), and appetite were performed at time points 0, 1, 4, 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours. MAIN RESULTS Dogs presented with a hypoalbuminemic alkalosis; hyperchloremic, dilutional acidosis; normotensive tachycardia; pyrexia; depression; and anorexia. Both treatments produced similar results, with the exception of significant differences in pH (4 h); PCO(2) (4 h); hemoglobin (8 h, 24 h); mean arterial pressure (48 h); albumin (4 h, 8 h); habitus (8 h, 48 h); and appetite (24 h). Arterial O(2) content was higher for pRBCT than Oxyglobin at 72 hours, but central venous PO(2) did not differ between groups or over time and was consistently subnormal. CONCLUSIONS Oxyglobin provides similar overall improvements to pRBCT in dogs with anemia from babesiosis, with respect to blood gas, acid-base and blood pressure, although patients receiving packed cells tended to have more rapid normalization of habitus and appetite.

Abstract
Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier-201 transports oxygen and improves survival in swine with hemorrhagic shock, but has potential to be immune activating. Herein, we evaluated HBOC-201's immune effects in swine with more severe hemorrhagic shock due to soft tissue injury and 55% blood volume catheter withdrawal over 15 minutes followed by fluid resuscitation at 20 minutes with HBOC-201, Hextend, or no treatment (NON) before hospital arrival. Survival rates were similar with HBOC-201 and Hextend (p > 0.05), but were higher than in (p = 0.007). There were no significant group differences in blood cell count, percentages of leukocyte sub-populations and immunophenotype (CD4:CD8 ratio), adhesion markers expression (neutrophil CD11b; monocyte or neutrophil CD49d) and apoptosis. There was a trend to higher plasma IL-10 in HBOC-201 and groups vs. Hextend. We conclude that in swine with severe controlled HS and soft tissue injury, immune responses are similar with resuscitation with HBOC-201 and Hextend.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) improve outcome in animal models of hemorrhagic shock (HS) in comparison with standard asanguinous resuscitation fluids. Nevertheless, concern about intrinsic vasoactivity, linked in part to low-molecular weight (MW) hemoglobin (Hb), has slowed HBOC development. We assessed the impact of decreasing the low-MW Hb component of bovine HBOC on vasoactivity in severe HS. METHODS Anesthetized invasively monitored swine were hemorrhaged 55% blood volume and resuscitated with bovine HBOC containing 31% (31 TD [HBOC-301]), 2% (2 TD [HBOC-201]), or 0.4% (0.4 TD) low-MW Hb. Pigs received four 10 mL/kg infusions over 60 minutes, hospital arrival was simulated at 75 minutes, organ blood flow (BF) was evaluated by microsphere injection, and monitoring was continued for 4 hours followed by complete necrotic evaluation. RESULTS There were few differences between 2 TD and 0.4 TD. Thirty-one TD pigs had higher systemic and pulmonary blood pressure (BP), systemic vascular resistance index, and pulmonary artery wedge pressure, compared with 2 TD or 0.4 TD (p < 0.01); however, pigs in all groups had at least mildly elevated BP. Transcutaneous tissue oxygenation, base excess, and mixed venous oxygen saturation were similar across groups; lactate and methemoglobin were highest with 0.4 TD (p < 0.03). There were no group differences in BF. Over time, myocardial BF increased and hepatic BF decreased in all groups (for 31 TD, p < 0.05); renal BF was unchanged in all groups. There were no group differences in heart, lung, or liver histopathology, and survival. CONCLUSIONS Although purification from 31% to 2% low-MW Hb content significantly decreased vasoactive responses, further purification to 0.4% had no additional clinically measurable effects in severe HS. If further diminution in HBOC vasoactivity is desired for use in HS, additional technical approaches may be required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC) resuscitation has been associated with increased systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances (SVR, PVR), which may result in reduced blood flow and severe pulmonary hypertension. The physiologic and immunologic properties of 7.5% hypertonic saline solution (HTS), such as reduction of SVR and PVR, as well as inhibition of neutrophil and endothelial activation may be beneficial in reducing some of these undesirable effects of HBOCs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of the HBOC and HBOC-201 suspended in 7.5% hypertonic saline solution (HT-HBOC) when compared with standard HBOC resuscitation. METHODS Thirty-two domestic crossbred pigs (50-60 kg) were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 35 mm Hg +/- 5 mm Hg for 45 minutes and resuscitated to a baseline mean arterial pressure using the following groups: (1) sham, no hemorrhage; (2) shed blood + lactated Ringer's solution; (3) standard HBOC-201; (4) hypertonic saline 7.5%; (5) hypertonic 7.5% HBOC-201. After resuscitation, observation was continued for 4 hours. Hemodynamic variables, oxygen consumption, and arterial blood gases were monitored continuously. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance. RESULTS SVR (p = 0.001), PVR (p = 0.001), and MPAP (p = 0.01) were significantly reduced in the HT-HBOC group compared with the standard HBOC group. CONCLUSION In this model of hemorrhagic shock, hypertonic HBOC-201- resuscitated pigs had significantly reduced SVR and PVR, as well as mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) and increased cardiac output. HT-HBOC may be beneficial in reducing the undesirable effects of standard HBOC-201. The mechanisms of these beneficial effects need to be investigated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test our hypothesis that the hemoglobin based oxygen carrier HBOC-201 would have similar or superior efficacy to 6% hetastarch (HEX) as a pre-hospital 'bridging' fluid for hemorrhagic shock when delay to definitive medical care is prolonged to 24h. METHODS Twenty-four pigs were anesthetized, instrumented, given a soft tissue injury, and bled 55% estimated blood volume. Pigs were randomized to receive HBOC-201, HEX, or no resuscitation fluids (NON). At 4h post-injury, surgical sites were repaired and pigs were recovered from anesthesia. Animals were non-invasively monitored, administered blood for anemia or saline for hypotension at 24 and 48h, and monitored for 72h. RESULTS Survival to 72h was 87.5% (7/8) in HBOC-201 and HEX pigs compared to 25% (2/8) in NON pigs (p=0.01). Increased mean arterial pressure was observed in the HBOC-201 group (p<0.0001). Cardiac index was highest in HEX pigs (overall p<0.001, HBOC-201 versus HEX p=0.002). Transcutaneous tissue oxygenation was higher with HBOC-201 (overall p=0.04, HBOC-201 versus HEX p<0.01). HBOC-201 and HEX pigs had comparable heart rates, pulmonary pressures, pre-hospital fluid requirements, venous O(2) saturation, base deficit, and lactic acid. Hemoglobin was decreased with HEX (overall p<0.0001, HBOC-201 versus HEX p<0.0002). At 24h, 14.3% (1/7) HBOC-201 pigs required blood transfusions versus 100% HEX (7/7) and NON (2/2) pigs (p>0.001). CONCLUSIONS HBOC-201 restored hemodynamics, maintained tissue oxygenation, and decreased blood transfusions in comparison to HEX in severe controlled HS with 24h delay to simulated hospital care. These results support the potential use of HBOC-201 as a bridging resuscitation fluid for HS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported that bovine polymerized hemoglobin (HBOC- 201) improved outcome in swine with hemorrhagic shock (HS) with and without traumatic brain injury (TBI). Herein, we add analyses of blood pressure (BP) responses, associated physiologic data, and HS fluid infusion guidelines. METHODS HBOC-201 versus standard fluid resuscitation was compared in four anesthetized invasively monitored swine models: moderate controlled HS, severe controlled HS, severe uncontrolled HS (liver injury), and severe uncontrolled HS/TBI (liver/parietal brain injuries). Pigs received fluid for hypotension and tachycardia, and were followed up to 6 (HS alone) or 72 hours (HS/TBI). The change in mean arterial pressure (DeltaMAP) response severity was stratified and analyzed based on infusion number and HS severity, using Student's t and Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS HBOC-201 vasoactivity resulted in higher MAP in all studies. Among HBOC-201 pigs, DeltaMAP responses were significant for the first two infusions and inversely related to HS severity. Among controls, DeltaMAP responses remained significant through the fourth infusion in controlled HS models, and through the first in severe uncontrolled HS/TBI; none were significant in severe uncontrolled HS. DeltaMAP was higher with HBOC-201 through the first infusion in moderate controlled HS, the fifth in severe uncontrolled HS, and the second in severe uncontrolled HS/TBI; there were no group differences in severe controlled HS. No severe MAP responses occurred. Higher DeltaMAP severity did not impact outcome. Hypotension satisfied fluid reinfusion criteria less consistently than tachycardia. Overall, HBOC-201 improved physiologic parameters and survival without causing hypoperfusion; in severe HS, perfusion improved. CONCLUSIONS In swine with HS +/- TBI, HBOC-201 had mild to moderate vasoactivity, resulting in significant DeltaMAP responses mainly after initial infusions, no severe/adverse responses, and improved outcome. Our data suggest that use of physiologic parameters (e.g., tachycardia), in addition to hypotension to guide fluid reinfusion during HS resuscitation with HBOC-201, will minimize hypoperfusion risk and maximize potential benefit.

Massive blood loss due to penetrating trauma and internal organ damage can cause severe haemorrhagic shock (HS), leading to a severely compromised haemostatic balance. This study evaluated the effect of bovine polymerized haemoglobin (Hb) (Hb-based oxygen carrier, HBOC) resuscitation on haemostasis in a swine model of uncontrolled HS. Following liver injury/HS, swine received HBOC (n= 8), Hextend (HEX) (n= 8) or no resuscitation (NON) (n= 8). Fluids were infused to increase mean arterial pressure above 60 mmHg and to reduce heart rate to baseline. At 4 h, the animals were eligible for blood transfusions. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, thromboelastography (TEG) and platelet function analyser closure time (PFA-CT) were compared by using mixed statistical model. At 4 h, blood loss (% estimated blood volume) was comparable for HBOC (65.5 +/- 18.5%) and HEX (80.8 +/- 14.4%) and less for NON (58.7 +/- 10.1%; P < 0.05). Resuscitation-induced dilutional coagulopathy was observed with HBOC and HEX, as indicated by reduced haematocrit, platelets and fibrinogen (P < 0.05). At 4 h, PT was higher in HEX than in HBOC groups (P < 0.01). In the early hospital phase, a trend to increased TEG reaction time and PFA-CT indicates that dilutional effects persist in HBOC and HEX groups. PFA-CT returned to baseline later with HBOC than with HEX (48 vs. 24 h) following blood transfusion. At 4 h, all surviving HEX animals (n= 3) required transfusion, in contrast to no HBOC (n= 7) or NON (n= 1) animals. In this severe uncontrolled HS model, successful resuscitation with HBOC produced haemodilutional coagulopathy less than or similar to that produced by resuscitation with HEX.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study assessed the effect of oxygen affinity and molecular weight (MW) of o-raffinose cross-linked hemoglobin based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) on cerebral oxygen delivery and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) following hemorrhage and resuscitation in rats. METHODS Isoflurane anesthetized rats (n = 6-7 per group) underwent 30% hemorrhage and resuscitation with an equivalent volume of one of three different HBOCs: 1) High P50 Poly o-raffinose hemoglobin (Poly OR-Hb, P50 = 70 mmHg); 2) High P50 > 128 Poly OR-Hb (MW > 128 kDa, P50 = 70 mmHg) and 3) Low P50 > 128 Poly OR-Hb (MW >128 kDa, P50 = 11 mmHg). Hippocampal cerebral tissue oxygen tension, regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF), MAP, total hemoglobin concentration and arterial blood gases were measured. Data analysis by two-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests determined significance (P < 0.05, mean +/- SD). RESULTS Hippocampal tissue oxygen tension increased in all HBOC groups following resuscitation. The rCBF remained unchanged after HBOC resuscitation in all groups. Following resuscitation, the peak MAP was higher in the High P50 Poly OR-Hb group (152 +/- 13 mmHg) when compared to either the Low or High P50 large MW, (> 128 kDa) HBOC group (119 +/- 15 mmHg or 127 +/- 18 respectively, P < 0.05 for both). CONCLUSIONS O-raffinose polymerized HBOC, with or without lower MW components, maintained cerebral tissue oxygen delivery following hemorrhage and resuscitation in rats. The higher MW HBOCs showed a decrease in peak MAP, which did not alter oxygen delivery. No significant effect of oxygen affinity on cerebral tissue oxygen tension or blood flow was observed.

Abstract
To compare the efficacy of low-volume resuscitation with bovine polymerized hemoglobin (HBOC-201) versus hetastarch (HEX) in an intermediate severity combat-relevant hemorrhagic shock swine model with a simulated delay to hospital care. Twenty-four anesthetized pigs were hemorrhaged 55% estimated blood volume in conjunction with a 5-min rectus abdominus crush. At 20 min, pigs were resuscitated with 10 mL/kg of HBOC-201 or HEX or nothing (NON); resuscitated pigs received additional infusions (5 mL/kg) at 30, 60, 120, or 180 min if hypotension or tachycardia persisted. Pigs were monitored for a 4-h "prehospital" period. At 4-h, hospital arrival was simulated: surgical sites were repaired, blood, or saline provided, and pigs were recovered from anesthesia. Pigs were monitored for 72 h and then killed for histological evaluation. One hundred percent (8/8) of HBOC-201-, 75% (6/8) of HEX-, and 25% (2/8) of NON-resuscitated pigs survived to 72 h (P = 0.007 overall, HBOC vs. HEX P > 0.05). Mean arterial pressure and mean pulmonary arterial pressure were highest in the HBOC-201 group (P < 0.001), and HR was lowest (P < 0.001). HBOC-201- and HEX-resuscitated pigs had comparable cardiac index and prehospital fluid requirements. HBOC-201 pigs had higher transcutaneous tissue oxygen tension, P < 0.001) and lower urine output (P < 0.001). At simulated hospital arrival, no HBOC-201 pigs required additional fluids or blood transfusion. In contrast, 100% of HEX pigs required blood transfusions (P < 0.01). In this swine model of controlled hemorrhage with low-volume resuscitation and delayed definitive care, HBOC-201 pigs had improved hemodynamics, transcutaneous tissue oxygen tension, and transfusion avoidance compared with HEX.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data are limited on the actions of hemoglobin based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). This study evaluates neurotoxicity, vasoactivity, cardiac toxicity, and inflammatory activity of HBOC-201 (Biopure, Cambridge, Mass.) resuscitation in a TBI model. METHODS Swine received TBI and hemorrhage. After 30 minutes, resuscitation was initiated with 10 mL/kg normal saline (NS), followed by either HBOC-201 (6 mL/kg, n = 10) or NS control (n = 10). Supplemental NS was administered to both groups to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) >60 mm Hg until 60 minutes, and to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) >70 mm Hg from 60 to 300 minutes. The control group received mannitol (1 g/kg) and blood (10 mL/kg) at 90 minutes and half (n = 5) received CPP directed phenylephrine (PE) therapy after 120 minutes. Serum cytokines were measured with ELISA and coagulation was evaluated with thromboelastography. Brains were harvested for neuropathology. RESULTS With HBOC administration, MAP, CPP, and brain tissue PO2 were restored within 30 minutes and maintained until 300 minutes. Clot strength and fibrin formation were maintained and 9/10 successfully extubated. In contrast, with control, MAP and brain tissue PO2 did not correct until 120 minutes, after mannitol, transfusion and 40% more crystalloid. Furthermore, without PE, CPP did not reach target and 0/5 could be extubated. Lactate, heart rate, cardiac output, mixed venous oxygenation, muscle oxygenation, serum cytokines, and histology did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS After TBI, a single HBOC-201 bolus with minimal supplements provided rapid resuscitation, while maintaining CPP and improving brain oxygenation, without causing cardiac dysfunction, coagulopathy, cytokine release, or brain structural changes.

Abstract
Cell-free hemoglobin's (CFH) high affinity for nitric oxide (NO) could limit CFH's use as an oxygen-carrying blood replacement fluid because it scavenges NO, causing vasoconstriction and hypertension. However, the extent to which perivascular NO levels change following intravascular administration of hemoglobin (Hb) with different molecular dimensions correlates with vasoconstrictive responses in the microcirculation is unknown. The study objective was to determine vasoconstrictive effects following bolus infusions of (1) alphaalpha cross-linked Hb; (2) polymerized bovine Hb; or (3) polyethylene glycol-decorated Hb (PEG-Hb), by measurements of in vivo microvessel diameter, blood flow, perivascular NO concentration, and systemic hemodynamic parameters. All CFHs caused reductions in perivascular NO levels, not correlated to microvascular responses. PEG-Hb (largest molecular volume) maintained blood flow, while the others caused vasoconstriction and reduced perfusion. All solutions increased mean arterial pressure due to vasoconstriction and blood volume expansion, except for PEG-Hb, which increased blood pressure due to blood volume expansion and maintenance of cardiac output. In conclusion, perivascular NO reduction is similar for all Hb solutions because NO binding affinities are similar; however, effects on vascular resistance are related to the type of molecular modification, molecular volume, and oxygen affinity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test our hypothesis that hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier (HBOC)-201 resuscitation in hemorrhagic shock (HS) will not lead to increased organ injury and dysfunction. DESIGN Three swine HS models simulating military-relevant delayed evacuation: a) moderate controlled HS, b) severe controlled HS, and c) severe uncontrolled HS. SETTING Military research laboratory. SUBJECTS Swine. INTERVENTIONS Swine were anesthetized/intubated and instrumented. To induce HS, in two controlled hemorrhage experiments, 40% (moderate controlled HS) or 55% (severe controlled HS) of blood volume was withdrawn; in an uncontrolled HS experiment, the liver was crushed/lacerated. During a 4-hr "prehospital phase," pigs were resuscitated with HBOC-201 (HBOC) or Hextend (HEX) or were nonresuscitated (NON). Upon "hospital arrival," liver injury was repaired (severe uncontrolled HS), blood or saline was infused, hemodynamics were monitored, and blood was collected. Upon animal death and/or 72 hrs, necropsy was followed by histopathologic evaluation of organ injury (hematoxylin and eosin, electron microscopy) and immunohistochemistry of oxidative potential (3-nitrotyrosine). Significance (p < .05) was assessed by Kruskal-Wallis, analysis of variance/Bonferroni, and mixed procedure tests. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Survival was significantly higher with HBOC than HEX only with severe uncontrolled HS (p = .002). Myocardial necrosis/fibroplasia, fluid requirements, cardiac output, and cardiac enzymes were generally similar or lower in HBOC than HEX pigs, but creatine kinase-MB (but not creatine kinase-MB/creatine kinase ratio) was higher with HBOC in moderate controlled HS. Alveolar/interstitial pulmonary edema was similar with HBOC and HEX, but Po2 was higher with HBOC in severe uncontrolled HS. Jejunal villar epithelial and hepatocellular necrosis were similarly minimal to moderate in all groups. Minimal biliary changes occurred exclusively with HBOC. Aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase were generally higher with HBOC than HEX. Mild renal papillary injury occurred more frequently with HBOC, but consistent patterns for urine output, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine, were not seen. The 3-nitrotyrosine staining intensity was not different. CONCLUSIONS In comparison with hetastarch, HBOC-201 resuscitation of swine with HS increased survival (with severe HS), did not increase evidence of oxidative potential, and had histopathologic and/or functional effects on organs that were clinically equivocal (myocardium, lungs, hepatic parenchyma, jejunum, and renal cortex/medulla) and potentially adverse (hepatobiliary and renal papilla). The effects of HBOC-201-resuscitation in HS should be corroborated in controlled clinical trials.

Abstract
HBOC-201, a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier, improved physiologic parameters and survival in hemorrhagic shock (HS) animal models. However, resuscitation from HS and the properties of different fluids influence immune responses. The aim of this study was to determine if HBOC-201 significantly alters immune function in traumatic HS. Anesthetized pigs underwent soft tissue injury, controlled hemorrhage of 40% of blood volume, and resuscitation with HBOC-201 or Hextend, or no resuscitation. Sequential whole-blood samples were collected for analyses of leukocyte differential (hematology analyzer), T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, and CD8) (FACS), lymphocyte adhesion marker CD49d (alpha4-integrin) expression (FACS), plasma cytokines-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10-(ELISA), and lymphocyte apoptosis (annexin-V/propidium iodide staining) (FACS). Statistical analyses were performed by the mixed procedure. Total WBC counts decreased posthemorrhage in both resuscitation groups. Lymphocyte percentages decreased and PMN percentages increased around 4 h posthemorrhage in all groups. CD3 cells decreased in all groups, but CD4 and CD8 cells decreased only in the resuscitation groups. TNF-alpha levels were not detectable in any groups. IL-6 levels were similar across treatment groups (P > 0.05); however, IL-10 levels were higher in the HBOC group, as early as 1 h posthemorrhage (P = 0.04). Increases in lymphocytic CD49d expression levels and apoptosis occurred only in nonresuscitation and Hextend groups, respectively (P < or = 0.01). In comparison with Hextend, HBOC-201 had no significant adverse or beneficial effects on immune function in this model of moderately severe HS in swine, suggesting that it may be safe as a resuscitation fluid in HS patients.

Abstract
HBOC-201, a bovine polymerized hemoglobin, has been proposed as a novel oxygen-carrying resuscitative fluid for patients with hemorrhagic shock (HS). Herein, we evaluated the hemostatic effects of HBOC-201 in an animal model of HS. A 40% blood loss-controlled hemorrhage and soft tissue injury were performed in 24 invasively monitored Yucatan mini-pigs. Pigs were resuscitated with HBOC-201 (HBOC) or hydroxyethyl starch (HEX), or were not resuscitated (NON) based on cardiac parameters during a 4-h prehospital phase. Afterward, animals received simulated hospital care for 3 days with blood or saline transfusions. Hemostasis measurements included in vivo bleeding time (BT), thromboelastography (TEG), in vitro bleeding time (platelet function; PFA-CT), prothrombin time (PT), and partial thromboplastin time (PTT). Serum lactate was measured and lung sections were evaluated for microthrombi by electron microscopy. During the prehospital phase, BT remained unchanged in the HBOC group. TEG reaction time increased in HBOC pigs during the late prehospital phase and was greater than in NON or HEX pigs at 24 h (P = 0.03). TEG maximum amplitude was similar for the two fluid-resuscitated groups. PFA-CT increased in both resuscitated groups but less with HBOC (P = 0.02) in the prehospital phase; this effect was reversed by 24 h (P = 0.02). In the hospital phase, PT decreased (P < 0.02), whereas PTT increased above baseline (P < 0.01). Lactic acidosis in HBOC and HEX groups was similar. Aspartate aminotransferase was relatively elevated in the HBOC group at 24 h. Electron microscopy showed no evidence of platelet/fibrin clots or microthrombi in any of the animals. Twenty-four-hour group differences mainly reflected the fact that all HEX animals (8/8) received blood transfusions compared with only one HBOC animal (1/8). In swine with HS, HBOC resuscitation induced less thrombopathy than HEX during the prehospital phase. Mild delayed effects on platelet and clot formation during the hospital phase are transient and likely related to fewer blood transfusions. In swine with HS, HBOC resuscitation induced less thrombopathy than HEX during the prehospital phase but more thrombopathy in the hospital phase. The delayed effects on platelet and clot formation during the hospital phase are transient and may be related to the need for fewer blood transfusions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of HBOC-201 for resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock in a swine model incorporating soft tissue injury and delayed evacuation. METHODS A muscle crush injury and 40% estimated blood volume controlled hemorrhage was completed in 24 Yucatan mini-pigs. Pigs were untreated or resuscitated with HBOC-201 or 6% hetastarch (HEX) at 20 min. Invasive hemodynamics and clinical variables were monitored for 4 h (pre-hospital phase) and subsequent fluid infusions were administered for severe hypotension or tachycardia. Animals were recovered from anesthesia and monitored non-invasively to 72 h (hospital phase). RESULTS 100% (8/8) of HBOC-201-, 88% (7/8) of HEX-, and 63% (5/8) of non-resuscitated pigs, survived to 72 h (p=0.27). Mean arterial pressure, mean pulmonary arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance index were higher in HBOC-201 pigs. By 90 min, cardiac index was restored to baseline in the HBOC-201 group and was 1.4-fold greater than baseline in the HEX group. HBOC-201 pigs had lower fluid requirements than HEX pigs (18.8+/-1.8 and 29.9+/-1.1 ml/kg, p<0.001) in the pre-hospital phase and required fewer blood transfusions (1.3+/-1.3 and 9.4+/-0.6 ml/kg, respectively, p<0.001) in the hospital phase. Urine output and blood creatinine were comparable in HBOC-201 and HEX pigs. Tissue oxygenation levels were highest in the HBOC-201 group. CONCLUSIONS As HBOC-201 restored hemodynamics and tissue oxygenation and decreased fluid requirements, in comparison with HEX, HBOC-201 was at least as efficacious and possibly a superior resuscitative fluid in a military-relevant delayed evacuation hemorrhagic shock swine model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES MalPEG-hemoglobin, 4 g/dL (MP4), is a hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier with a low hemoglobin concentration, low P50 (oxygen half-saturation pressure of hemoglobin), high colloid osmotic pressure, and high viscosity. This study evaluated resuscitation with MP4 in anesthetized swine hemorrhaged 250 mL by controlled withdrawal, followed by a 5-mm tear in the abdominal aorta. DESIGN Randomized, unblinded. SETTING Academic animal laboratory. SUBJECTS Anesthetized male and female Swedish Landrace pigs. INTERVENTIONS Four groups of pigs (n = 7 each) were randomized after hemorrhage by aortic tear to receive 250 mL of MP4, Ringer's acetate, 10% pentastarch, or 4 g/dL of stroma-free hemoglobin, followed by aortic repair and transfusion of 250 mL of autologous blood. End points were 20-hr survival, hemodynamic variables, and acid-base status. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Measurements included continuous aortic, pulmonary arterial, and central venous pressures, cardiac output by thermodilution, arterial and venous blood gases; electrolytes; lactate; base excess; oxygen delivery, consumption, and extraction ratio; hematocrit; hemoglobin; and urine output. Body weight (24-27 kg) and hemorrhage volume (26-33 mL/kg) were similar in the four groups. The nadir of mean arterial pressure (22-28 mm Hg) and the increase in lactic acid (5-8 mEq/L) after hemorrhage were similar in all groups, indicating equivalent shock in the four groups. Survival was greatest in the MP4-treated animals (six of seven) compared with Ringer's acetate (two of seven), 10% pentastarch (one of seven), and stroma-free hemoglobin (two of seven) and was accompanied by an improved recovery of arterial pressure, cardiac output, and lactate. Total hemoglobin concentration was equivalent in all groups. Arterial pressure did not increase above baseline values, and systemic vascular resistance was unchanged following administration of MP4, indicating the lack of peripheral vasoconstriction. Mortality in Ringer's acetate, stroma-free hemoglobin, and 10% pentastarch treated animals was associated with deteriorating acid-base status, low urine output, and hyperkalemia. CONCLUSION These data demonstrate that restoration of oxygen delivery with a small volume of MP4 yields significant recovery from hemorrhage without systemic vasoconstriction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As HBOC-201 improves outcome in animals with hemorrhagic shock (HS), we compared HBOC-201 and HEX (used by U.S. military special operations forces) in a swine model of delayed evacuation and uncontrolled HS. METHODS Twenty-four Yucatan pigs underwent a grade III liver injury and were resuscitated with HBOC-201, HEX, or no fluid (NON). Additional infusions were given for hypotension or tachycardia. After 4 hours, the liver was repaired; IV fluids and blood transfusions were administered. Pigs were monitored for 72 hours. RESULTS Survival was 7/8, 1/8, and 1/8 in HBOC-201-, HEX-, and NON-resuscitated pigs, respectively. Compared with HEX, HBOC-201 pigs had higher systemic and pulmonary artery pressures and had comparable cardiac outputs, but were less tachycardic. Transcutaneous tissue oxygenation was restored more rapidly in HBOC-201 pigs, there was a trend to lower lactic acid, and base deficit was less. HBOC-201 pigs had lower fluid requirements, higher urine output, and lower blood loss than HEX pigs. CONCLUSIONS Despite evidence of vasoactivity, HBOC-201 more effectively stabilized tissue oxygenation, reversed anaerobic metabolism, decreased bleeding, and increased survival in comparison with HEX. If confirmed in clinical trials, these data suggest that for the resuscitation of combat casualties with delayed evacuation and uncontrolled HS due to solid organ injury, HBOC-201 is a superior low-volume resuscitative fluid.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In a porcine model of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock, we evaluated the effects of vasopressin versus an equal volume of saline placebo versus fluid resuscitation on hemodynamic variables and short-term survival. Twenty-one anesthetized pigs were subjected to severe liver injury. When mean arterial blood pressure was <20 mm Hg and heart rate decreased, pigs randomly received either vasopressin IV (0.4 U/kg; n = 7), an equal volume of saline placebo (n = 7), or fluid resuscitation (1000 mL each of lactated Ringer's solution and hetastarch; n = 7). Thirty minutes after intervention, surviving pigs were fluid resuscitated while bleeding was surgically controlled. Mean (+/- SEM) arterial blood pressure 5 min after the intervention was significantly (P < 0.05) higher after vasopressin than with saline placebo or fluid resuscitation (58 +/- 9 versus 7 +/- 3 versus 32 +/- 6 mm Hg, respectively). Vasopressin improved abdominal organ blood flow but did not cause further blood loss (vasopressin versus saline placebo versus fluid resuscitation 10 min after intervention, 1343 +/- 60 versus 1350 +/- 22 versus 2536 +/- 93 mL, respectively; P < 0.01). Seven of 7 vasopressin pigs survived until bleeding was controlled and 60 min thereafter, whereas 7 of 7 saline placebo and 7 of 7 fluid resuscitation pigs died (P < 0.01). We conclude that vasopressin, but not saline placebo or fluid resuscitation, significantly improves short-term survival during uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock. IMPLICATIONS Although IV fluid administration is the mainstay of nonsurgical management of trauma patients with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock, the efficacy of this strategy has been discussed controversially. In this animal model of severe liver trauma with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock, vasopressin, but not saline placebo or fluid resuscitation, improved short-term survival.

Abstract
In the perioperative period, blood transfusions are most commonly administered to address acute blood loss resulting from trauma, neoplasia, or surgery. In this setting, transfusions may be life saving, allowing time for clotting or surgical hemostasis. In recent years, however, there is a growing awareness that the administration of blood products may not be a benign treatment. In addition to the more commonly cited complications such as transfusion reactions, disease transmission, and electrolyte disturbances, blood transfusions have also been linked to poor surgical outcomes, increased risk of infection, cancer recurrence, and acute lung injury. The recognition of these problems has lead to more conservative transfusion strategies, and questioning of what constitutes an appropriate transfusion trigger. In this section, we will discuss the pathophysiology of acute blood loss, the benefits and risks of transfusions in surgical patients, management of perioperative blood transfusions, and alternative strategies to minimize the need for blood products.

Abstract
Oxyglobin, a hemoglobin-based oxygen-carrying fluid, is indicated in the treatment of anemia in dogs and may be life saving if compatible red blood cells are not available for transfusion. The colloidal properties of Oxyglobin allow for expansion of the circulatory volume, which may be helpful in patients with hypovolemia, especially hemorrhagic shock. Oxyglobin's colloidal properties can also lead to circulatory overload, with development of pulmonary edema and pleural effusion, however, necessitating careful monitoring of the rate of administration and of the respiratory rate and effort of the patient. Measurement of total or plasma hemoglobin concentration can be used as an aid in monitoring patients receiving Oxyglobin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ideal resuscitation fluid for military applications would be effective at low volumes, thereby reducing logistical constraints. We have previously shown that the bovine hemoglobin-based oxygen carrier HBOC-201 is an effective low-volume resuscitation fluid. The goal of this experiment was to evaluate the effectiveness of HBOC-201 in comparison with other low-volume resuscitation fluids in a swine model of controlled hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Forty-two immature female Yorkshire swine (55-70 kg) were divided into seven groups of six. Animals were hemorrhaged to a mean arterial pressure of 30 mm Hg. After 45 minutes, animals were resuscitated to a mean arterial pressure of 60 mm Hg with one of the following agents: hypertonic saline 7.5% (HTS), hypertonic saline 7.5%/Dextran-70 6% (HSD), pentastarch 6%, hetastarch 6%, or HBOC-201. Lactated Ringer's (LR) solution was used as a standard resuscitation control. Another group of animals received no resuscitation. Resuscitation was continued for 4 hours. Hemodynamic variables and oxygen consumption were measured continuously. Arterial and mixed venous blood gases and serum lactate levels were measured at intervals throughout the experiment. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance with Tukey's post hoc test when appropriate. Significance was defined as p < 0.05. RESULTS Five of six animals in the no-resuscitation control group, six of six in the HTS group, and one animal in the HSD group died before completion of the study. All other animals survived to completion. Animals receiving resuscitation with HBOC-201 had significantly lower cardiac output, mixed venous oxygen saturation levels, and urinary output throughout the resuscitation period; however, there were no differences with regard to lactate, base excess, or oxygen consumption. Animals receiving HBOC-201 required significantly less fluid than any other group. CONCLUSION In this model, hypotensive resuscitation with HBOC-201 restores tissue oxygenation and reverses anaerobic metabolism at significantly lower volumes when compared with HTS, HSD, pentastarch, or hetastarch solutions. These data suggest that HBOC-201 would be an effective primary resuscitation fluid for far-forward military or rural trauma settings where logistic constraints and prolonged transport times are common. However, when HBOC-201 is administered as a primary resuscitation fluid in hypotensive protocols, common clinical markers for determining adequacy of resuscitation may not be useful.
