The study aims to understand how carotid baroreceptors influence vascular responses during chemoreceptor stimulation in dogs.
Studied anesthetized, artificially ventilated, vagotomized dogs with vascularly isolated carotid bifurcations.
Carotid bifurcations were perfused at consistent pressures to evaluate the effects of vasomotor center inhibition.
Analyzed the effects of chemoreceptor stimulation using hypoxic hypercapnic blood.
Intermediate inhibition increased aortic pressure by 50% and reduced blood flow to hind-limb and kidney by 59% and 19%, respectively.
At maximum and minimum carotid sinus pressures (215 and 51 mm Hg), the vascular responses to chemoreceptor stimulation were absent or significantly reduced.
During intermediate sinus pressure, chemoreceptor stimulation decreased the saphenous vein perfusion pressure by 27%.

Structured PICO

Population

Anesthetized, artificially ventilated, vagotomized dogs

Intervention

Carotid chemoreceptor stimulation by perfusion with hypoxic hypercapnic blood at varying carotid sinus pressures (134, 215, and 51 mm Hg)

Comparator

Responses at intermediate (134 mm Hg) versus maximal (215 mm Hg) and minimal (51 mm Hg) carotid sinus pressures

Outcome

Vascular responses including aortic pressure, hind-limb blood flow, kidney blood flow, and saphenous vein perfusion pressuresurrogate

Vascular responses to carotid chemoreceptor stimulation are inhibited when carotid sinus baroreceptor activity is maximal or minimal, indicating a central interaction between chemoreceptor and baroreceptor inputs.

Implication

Central baroreceptor-chemoreceptor interaction shown in animals; leaves open relevance to human autonomic cardiovascular control.
