Haemodilution in nine neonates resulted in significant mean (SEM) decrease of packed cell volume (0.67 (0.01) to 0.55 (0.01)) and increases in cardiac output (250 (16) to 308 (25) ml/min/kg) and blood flow velocities of the internal carotid artery and the coeliac artery (+20%). However, red cell flows in the aorta, carotid and coeliac arteries did not change during haemodilution, thereby indicating that haemodilution did not improve oxygen transport.

Anaemia may increase the risk of tissue hypoxia in preterm infants. The effect of transfusion on circulation was studied in 33 preterm infants with a mean (SD) gestational age of 29 (5) weeks (range 26-34), birth weight 1153 (390) g (range 520-1840), and postnatal age of 48 (21) days (range 19-100). Packed cell volume, blood viscosity (capillary viscometer), cardiac output, and cerebral blood flow velocities in the internal carotid artery, anterior cerebral artery, and coeliac trunk (Doppler ultrasound) were determined before and after transfusion of 10 ml/kg of packed red blood cells. Transfusion increased packed cell volume from a mean (SD) 0.27 (0.45) to 0.37 (0.48). Mean arterial blood pressure did not change while heart rate decreased significantly from 161 (14) l/min to 149 (12). Cardiac output decreased from 367 (93) ml/kg/min to 311 (74) due to decrease in stroke volume from 2.28 (0.57) ml/kg to 2.14 (0.46) and in heart rate. There was a significant increase in systemic red cell transport (cardiac output times packed cell volume) by 17%, systemic flow resistance (blood pressure to cardiac output ratio) by 23%, and blood viscosity by 33%. Vascular hindrance (flow resistance to blood viscosity ratio) did not change significantly, thereby suggesting that neither vasoconstriction nor vasodilation occurred with transfusion. After transfusion blood flow velocities decreased significantly in the anterior cerebral artery by 23%, in the internal carotid artery by 8%, and in the coeliac trunk by 12%. Red cell transport estimated as products of blood flow velocities times packed cell volume increased significantly by 25% in the internal carotid artery and by 21% in the coeliac trunk. These results indicate that red cell transfusion improved systemic oxygen transport as well as oxygen transport in the internal carotid artery and coeliac trunk.

Diameter reductions in the internal carotid artery (ICA) and vertebral artery (VA) contribute to the decline in brain blood with hypotension. The decline in vertebral blood flow with hypotension was greater when carbon dioxide was low; this was not apparent in the ICA.

Purpose. To present a clinical case of development of retinal macroaneurysm after carotid endarterectomy (CE) in patient with chronic ischemic retinopathy (CIR) associated with hemodynamically significant stenosis of the internal carotid artery (ICA). Material and methods. Patient R., 74 years old, diagnosed with CIR of the 1st degree of severity of the right eye. In addition to standard ophthalmic examination methods, Doppler ultrasound with registration of blood flow in the orbital artery and spiral computed tomography of the ICA were performed. Results. Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) of the retina led to obliteration of the retinal macroaneurysm, resorption of intraretinal hemorrhages, and stabilization of the course of CIR after CE of the ICA. Conclusion. The appearance of retinal macroaneurysm and intraretinal hemorrhages after CE in patient with CIR associated with hemodynamically significant ICA stenosis can be regarded as reperfusion complications after restoration of blood flow in the orbital artery, which requires timely retinal PRP of the retina. Key words: chronic ischemic retinopathy, retinal macroaneurysm, internal carotid artery, carotid endarterectomy.
