Response of Estimated Hepatic Blood Flow to Graded Hemorrhage and the Infusion of Levarterenol

¹ From the Department of Physiology, Naval Medical Field Research Laboratory, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina

Levarterenol did not significantly affect the estimated hepatic blood flow, arterial-hepatic venous oxygen difference, or splanchnic oxygen consumption of the dog during graded hemorrhage. During the later stage of hemorrhage hepatic blood flow tended to spontaneously increase so that the percentage reduction in hepatic blood flow was less than the percentage reduction in blood volume.
