PG - 178-82 AB - Physiological indicators of tissue perfusion in a canine septic shock model have been examined. An early death (ED) group and a combined late death and survivor group (LDS) were defined and the corresponding data compared. It was found that the LDS group had less reductions in mean systemic arterial pressure (P less than 0.05), transcutaneous oxygen pressure (P less than 0.05), and red blood cell deformability (P less than 0.001); a smaller increase in hematocrit (P less than 0.05); and a lower concentration of white blood cells (P less than 0.05), relative to the ED group, at 6 hr after an infusion of Escherichia coli organisms. These results suggest that dogs in the LDS group have better tissue perfusion than those in the early death ED group. Post-treatment of dogs with pentoxifylline did not improve survival time or enhance flow factors.
