Individual effects of hypoxic hypoxia and hypercapnia on the cerebral circulation are well described, but data on their combined effects are conflicting. We measured the effect of hypoxic hypoxia on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral O2 consumption during normocapnia (arterial PCO2 = 33 +/- 2 Torr) and during hypercapnia (60 +/- 2 Torr) in seven pentobarbital-anesthetized lambs. Analysis of variance showed that neither the magnitude of the hypoxic CBF response nor cerebral O2 consumption was significantly related to the level of arterial PCO2. To determine whether hypoxic cerebral vasodilation during hypercapnia was restricted by reflex sympathetic stimulation we studied an additional six hypercapnic anesthetized lambs before and after bilateral removal of the superior cervical ganglion. Sympathectomy had no effect on base-line CBF during hypercapnia or on the CBF response to hypoxic hypoxia. We conclude that the effects of hypoxic hypoxia on CBF and cerebral O2 consumption are not significantly altered by moderate hypercapnia in the anesthetized lamb. Furthermore, we found no evidence that hypercapnia results in a reflex increase in sympathetic tone that interferes with the ability of cerebral vessels to dilate during hypoxic hypoxia.

The effect of variations in arterial O2 content (CaO2) on the cerebrovascular bed of seven unanesthetized newborn lambs was studied as the hematocrit and arterial PO2 (PaO2) were varied. Each subject was studied at a high hematocrit [44 +/- 3% (SD)] and a low hematocrit [24 +/- 3%]. At each hematocrit level the PaO2 was changed over a range of 30-150 mmHg. The relationship between cerebral blood flow and PO2 depended on hematocrit and vice versa. To the contrary, the relationship of blood flow to CaO2 was independent of hematocrit and/or PO/. As CaO2 fell, regardless of whether this was due to a fall in PO2 hematocrit or both, there was a reciprocal increase in cerebral blood flow such that cerebral O2 delivery (cerebral blood flow x CaO2) was constant. These data show that CaO2 is a variable of fundamental importance to the regulation of cerebral blood flow. Changes in CaO2 are accompanied by reciprocal changes in cerebral blood flow to maintain constant cerebral O2 delivery. Data among species with differing cerebral O2 consumption show that cerebral O2 delivery, in turn, is regulated according to cerebral O2 consumption.
