DISCUSSION SBP - RAP SVR = — = Units In this sheep model, i.v. administration of rIL-2 is associated Do2 = CO x CaO2 = mi/min with a fall in SVR, SBP, and LVSW and a concomitant increase in cardiac output. Although the sequence of these physiological CaO2 = (Hb x % arterial O2 saturation) + 0.003 PaO2 changes is not known, we postulate that the decreased SVR is Fo2 = CO x (CaO2 - CvO2) a primary event. The reduction of afterload permits an increase CvO2 = (Hb x % mixed venous O2 saturation) + 0.003 PO2 in cardiac output. However, this increase is not enough to maintain SBP and systemic hypotension results. These findings O2 extraction = K02/A>2= % are similar to those reported in patients receiving rIL-2 and in LVSW = CO/HR x systolic BP - PWP x 0.0136 = g.m septic patients (9-13, 15). Even though the cardiac output is RVSW = CO/HR x systolic PAP - RAP x 0.0136 = g.m high in septic patients, myocardial depression is present since the left ventricular ejection fraction falls, and and in which CO is cardiac output, CaO2 is content of oxygen in the arterial left ventricular end diastolic volumes increase. We feel that our blood, Hb is hemoglobin, CvO2 is content of oxygen in mixed venous model also displays some degree of myocardial depression since blood, BP is blood pressure, and HR is heart rate. the heart rate increases as the cardiac output rises and LVSW Vascular pressures were recorded on a Hewlett Packard physiological falls significantly (Table 1) after 24 h of rIL-2 infusion. recorder.
