To the Editor, With great interest, we read the report regarding blood pressure‐ dependent changes in haematocrit (Hct) and plasma volume by Damén et al The authors evaluated the effect of norepinephrine infusion on Hct and plasma volume (PV) during induction of anaesthesia without fluid administration. They revealed that maintaining pre‐induction levels of blood pressure during the induction suppressed changes in Hct and PV. We have re‐assessed our two clinical studies and confirmed similar phenomenon during induction of anaesthesia without (n = 37) or with continuous infusion of phenylephrine at 0.05 μg/kg/min (n = 15). The Hct decreased by 9.8 ± 4.6% and 2.9 ± 2.7% without and with phenylephrine (P < 0.01, Figure 1A), which corresponds to increase in PV by 18.2 ± 10.2% and 5.0 ± 4.4% (P < 0.001), respectively. In addition, changes in white blood cells (WBC) and platelets without phenylephrine (−1333 ± 928/μL and −2.4 ± 2.5 × 104/μL) were significantly larger than those (−107 ± 628/μL and 1.4 ± 0.15 × 104/μL, P < 0.001) with phenylephrine respectively (Figure 1B, C). Damén et al hypothesised that increases in PV could be due to “autotransfusion”. Although changes in PV were calculated with standard formula using Hct, The Hct can be affected by not only PV but also other factors. It is well known that the spleen has important role for changes in circulating blood cell counts. O'Brien et al found that splenic enlargement is observed after administration of several anaesthetic drugs. In addition, Ojiri et al reported that vasodilator infusion into splenic artery increased splenic diameter with immediate reductions in splenic venous concentrations of red blood cell (RBC) followed by reductions in systemic RBC whilst α1 adrenoceptor stimulator including noradrenaline and phenylephrine infusions decreases in splenic diameter with immediate increases in splenic venous concentrations of RBC followed by increases in systemic RBC. These results suggest that changes in Hct and PV during induction of anaesthesia may be mainly due to splenic contraction and congestion. Although PV may increase during induction of anaesthesia, changes in PV calculated with standard formula could be overestimated.
