In this study, pulsatile and nonpulsatile assisted circulation were compared to evaluate renal circulation under complete artificial circulation. In addition, differences were also compared between animals supported by high (assist rate 80%)- and low (assist rate 60%)-level artificial circulation. Using 20 pigs, ventricular fibrillation was induced after cardiogenic shock, assist by mechanical support by pulsatile and nonpulsatile artificial circulation. Hemodynamics and renal circulation were evaluated by measuring renal arterial blood flow, renal cortical blood flow, renal medullar blood flow, cortical/medullar flow ratio, serum urea nitrogen levels, blood creatinine levels, urinary beta(2)-microglobulin (MG) levels, and serum beta(2)-MG levels. Tissue metabolism was evaluated by comparing arterial ketone body ratios and lactic acid/pyruvic acid ratios. During the acute stage of cardiogenic shock, redistribution of renal blood flow and tissue metabolism were improved in the pigs with pulsatile artificial circulation, suggesting the usefulness of pulse pressure. In nonpulsatile artificial circulation, the possibility of irreversible renal dysfunction was suggested. Although changes in renal blood flow were smaller in high-level artificial circulation than in low-level artificial circulation, physiological maintenance of renal circulation was better in pulsatile artificial circulation than in nonpulsatile artificial circulation. These results suggest that this effect of pulsatile assisted circulation may become more marked when evaluated in the early state after cardiogenic shock.
