摘要
The relationship between heart rate and blood pressure, as well as cardiorespiratory coupling, play a critical role in maintaining blood pressure and organ perfusion during conditions of blood loss. Traditional vital signs such as blood pressure, breathing rate, and oxygen saturation are poor markers of blood loss, making it difficult for medics to assess the severity of central hypovolemia. Monitoring hemorrhage is further complicated by the fact that some patients have a low tolerance to hemorrhage and would reach the point of cardiovascular collapse in less time than high tolerant individuals. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the potential of the physiological interaction between heart rate and blood pressure, and cardiorespiratory coupling to track the progression of simulated hemorrhage, as well as distinguish individuals with low tolerance (LT) from the ones with high tolerance (HT) to hypovolemia. Nineteen subjects (age: 28 ± 6 years; height: 170 ± 7 cm; weight: 68 ± 10 kg) underwent a progressive lower body negative pressure (LBNP) protocol in which the participant was supine inside the chamber for 12 min (baseline) before 12 min of chamber decompression at -20, -30, -40, -50 and -60 mmHg followed by a 12 min recovery period. Twelve subjects reached presyncope before or during -60 mmHg LBNP stage and were considered low tolerant (LT, 12 participants), while the ones who completed -60 mmHg were considered high tolerant (HT, 7 participants). Continuous blood pressure (BP), respiration (RSP), and electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were acquired simultaneously during baseline and each LBNP stage. RR interval was calculated using ECG, while systolic blood pressure (SBP), and pulse pressure were derived from BP waveform. Wavelet transform coherence and convergent cross-mapping techniques were employed to study the physiological interdependence and the causal relationship between heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. The interaction between blood pressure and heart rate in terms of gain, active gain, and fraction time active(SBP↔RR,PP↔RR)to maintain homeostasis was higher in the LT group during baseline, and LBNP simulated mild, moderate, and severe hemorrhage. The significant time of interaction between SBP and RSP, and the causal effect of blood pressure on respiration were higher in the HT group during baseline compared to the LT group. HT participants also had a higher causal effect of respiration on blood pressure(RSP→SBP,RSP→PP)during -30 and -40 mmHg compared to LT. Moreover, the HT group displayed a higher causal drive of respiratory-related changes in heart rate(RSP→RR)and heart rate mediated changes in respirationRR→RSPduring severe simulated hemorrhage (-40 mmHg) compared to the LT group. The calculated metrics to distinguish between individual LT from HT subjects achieved a sensitivity of 58%-83%, an accuracy of 63%-84%, and an area under the ROC curve of 74%-86%, while the overlap of LT individual responses with HT was 0%-33%. These results indicate the potential of cardiorespiratory coupling, and heart rate and blood pressure interaction toward tracking the progression of hemorrhage and distinguishing individuals with low tolerance to hypovolemia from those with high tolerance. Measurements of such interactions could improve clinical outcomes for patients with low tolerance to hypovolemia and therefore reduce morbidity and mortality through early implementation of life-saving interventions.
