In conscious animals, the response to hemorrhage is biphasic. Duringphase 1, arterial pressure is maintained.Phase 2is characterized by profound hypotension. Despite allied roles, less is known about the integrated cardiovascular and respiratory response to blood loss in conscious animals. We evaluated cardiorespiratory changes during hemorrhage to test the hypotheses that1) respiratory rate (RR) and blood gases do not change duringphase 1;2) RR increases duringphase 2; and3) RR and blood gas changes during hemorrhage are similar in males and females. We measured mean arterial pressure, RR, and blood gases during hemorrhage in 16 conscious, chronically prepared, male and female New Zealand white rabbits. We removed venous blood until mean arterial pressure was ≤40 mmHg. Sex did not affect mean arterial pressure, heart rate, PaO2, PaCO2, or pH during hemorrhage or the blood loss required to inducephase 2. PaCO2decreased significantly from 37 ± 1 to 33 ± 1 and 29 ± 1 mmHg (P< 0.001) duringphase 1and2, respectively. Before hemorrhage, PaO2was 87 ± 2 mmHg. PaO2was unchanged inphase 1(92 ± 2 mmHg) but increased inphase 2(101 ± 2 mmHg;P< 0.001). Body temperature, PvCO2(thoracic vena cava), and ventilation-perfusion mismatch (A-a gradient) were unchanged duringphases 1and2. Neither sex increased RR duringphase 1. While males doubled RR duringphase 2, RR in females did not change (P< 0.001). Thus, while PaCO2decreases inphase 1andphase 2, the decreases are achieved in different ways across the two phases and in the two sexes.
