Sharp deceleration of the brain microcirculation in deep hypothermia (up to 16-18 degrees C in the rectum) is due to no irreversible alterations in the microcirculation system. Physiological controlling mechanisms of this function are preserved and help to restore the velocity of the capillary blood flow in the course of warming up of the animal.
A 25-30 degrees C hypothermia significantly increased the capillary blood flow in the rat cerebral cortex. A deeper hypothermia (17-15 degrees C) led to a stable decrease in the blood flow up to initial level. Breathing ceased at this stage, the cardiac activity being evident for 30-40 minutes after this. Deep hypothermia also led to a reversible aggregation phenomenon which seemed not to hinder the blood flow.
A moderate leucocytosis was found to decelerate the blood flow in the rat brain capillaries and to change the character of the blood flow. This seems to be due to a temporal obturation of the capillary lumen by one or several leucocytes.
A statistically significant drop in the blood flow velocity in capillaries of the rat cerebral cortex occurred in 50-60% loss of the blood volume: from 1.32 +/- 0.1 mm/sec to 0.2-0.8 mm/sec even in 30-40% loss, resp. A more massive blood loss (50-60%) decreased the blood flow velocity with no subsequent restoration. Aggregates of elements were formed in the capillaries with subsequent hemostasis in this part of the vessel.
