To determine whether endotoxemia impairs whole-body and localized intestinal oxygen extraction, inducing pathological supply dependence of oxygen uptake.
Evaluated anesthetized, ventilated dogs divided into a control group and an endotoxin group administered 5 mg/kg Escherichia coli endotoxin.
Gradually lowered systemic and isolated small bowel oxygen delivery by staged hemorrhage while maintaining hematocrit to identify critical delivery and extraction thresholds.
Endotoxin significantly elevated the critical systemic oxygen delivery threshold to 12.8 ± 2.0 vs. 6.8 ± 1.2 ml·min⁻¹·kg⁻¹ in controls, while decreasing the critical systemic oxygen extraction ratio to 0.54 ± 0.11 vs. 0.78 ± 0.04 (P < 0.001).
Baseline systemic oxygen uptake rose from 6.1 ± 0.7 to 7.4 ± 0.1 ml·min⁻¹·kg⁻¹ following endotoxin exposure (P < 0.001).
Endotoxemic dogs demonstrated reduced critical (0.47 ± 0.10 vs. 0.69 ± 0.06) and maximal (0.71 ± 0.04 vs. 0.83 ± 0.05) intestinal oxygen extraction ratios (P < 0.001), alongside loss of intestinal reactive hyperemia in six of seven subjects.
