Abstract
PURPOSE: Examine effects of dexmedetomidine on bladder urinary oxygen tension (PuO2) in critically ill patients and delineate mechanisms in an ovine model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 12 critically ill patients: oxygen-sensing probe inserted in the bladder catheter and dexmedetomidine infusion at a mean (SD) rate of 0.9 ± 0.3 μg/kg/h for 24-h. In 9 sheep: implantation of flow probes around the renal and pulmonary arteries, and oxygen-sensing probes in the renal cortex, renal medulla and bladder catheter; dexmedetomidine infusion at 0.5 μg/kg/h for 4-h and 1.0 μg/kg/h for 4-h then 16 h observation. RESULTS: In patients, dexmedetomidine decreased bladder PuO2at 2 (-Δ11 (95% CI 7-16)mmHg), 8 (-Δ ..
