Role of Vasopressin and Angiotensin in Response of Splanchnic Resistance Vessels to Hemorrhage

  • Chapter
The Fundamental Mechanisms of Shock

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 23))

Abstract

After hemorrhage, total hepatic flow decreases approximately in proportion to the decrease in cardiac output. This is associated with a slight increase in splanchnic vascular resistance (2,10,15). However, this response is the net result of marked vasoconstriction of the intestinal and splenic resistance vessels and vasodilatation of the hepatic arterial resistance vessels (2,12,14,15,18,20,29). Although these responses of the splanchnic resistance vessels to hemorrhage are well established, the mechanisms have not been investigated until recently.
