We tested the hypothesis that a centrally administered alpha 2-receptor agonist could alter the cerebrovascular response to hypoxia, without evidence of systemic absorption of the drug. Beagle dogs were anesthetized with 1.4% isoflurane and exposed to hypoxic hypoxia (PaO 2 approximately 22 mm Hg) before and after ventricular-cisternal perfusion with mock cerebrospinal fluid (CSF group, n= 5) or dexmedetomidine (100 micro g/mL; total dose 300 micro g; DEX group, n= 6). Cerebral perfusion pressure, PaCO 2 and arterial oxygen content were controlled and regional cerebral blood flow (CBF; microspheres) and global cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen consumption (CMRO 2) were measured. In another group (n= 5), drug distribution under the experimental conditions was assessed by 3 H-clonidine administered by ventricular-cisternal perfusion. In the mock CSF group, flow to the cerebral hemispheres increased during hypoxia under baseline conditions and after CSF infusion: 66+/-8 to 170+/-15 mL [center dot] min-1 [center dot] 100 g-1 (265%+/-24% of baseline value), 83+/-9 to 154+/-14 mL [center dot] min-1 [centered dot] 100 g-1 (201%+/-54% of post-CSF infusion value). DEX decreased normoxic flow in the cerebral hemispheres from 76+/-6 to 44+/-4 ml [center dot] min (-1)[center dot] 100 g-1 with decreases in other regions of similar magnitude. After DEX, the absolute flow in all regions during hypoxia was 52%-55% of that prior to DEX (P< 0.05). However, because DEX also decreased normoxic CBF, the percent increase in flow during hypoxia was similar before and after DEX. CMRO 2 was not affected by hypoxia prior to DEX. However, after DEX, hypoxia caused a marked reduction in cerebral oxygen delivery (5.2+/-1.0 vs 13.7+/-2.3 ml [center dot] min-1 [center dot] 100 g-1 for the CSF group) and CMRO 2 (2.5+/-0.6 vs 3.9+/-0.6 ml [center dot] min-1 [center dot] 100 g-1). Regional accumulation of intraventricularly administered 3 H-clonidine was greatest in periventricular brain structures (eg, caudate nucleus, dorsal brainstem), and the concentration in the cerebral cortex was approximately 1% of the concentration in the ipsilateral caudate nucleus. We conclude that centrally administered DEX reduces CBF during normoxia and prevents adequate oxygen delivery during hypoxia. The mechanism of DEX-induced CBF reduction is not metabolically mediated, since CMRO 2 is maintained at control values during normoxia despite the significant blood flow reduction. We believe that the reduction in CMRO 2 during hypoxia in DEX-treated dogs is the result of a reduction of oxygen delivery rather than the underlying mechanism for the observed reduction in CBF during hypoxia.
