We aimed to determine the effects of endotoxic septic shock and hemodynamic resuscitation on Ea(dyn)in an experimental study in 18 New Zealand rabbits. Animals received placebo (SHAM,n= 6) or intravenous lipopolysaccharide (E. Coli 055:B5, 1 mg.kg(-1)) with or without (EDX-R,n= 6; EDX,n= 6) hemodynamic resuscitation (fluid bolus of 20 ml.kg(-1) and norepinephrine for restoring mean arterial pressure). Continuous arterial pressure and aortic blood flow measurements were obtained simultaneously. Cardiovascular efficiency was evaluated by the oscillatory power fraction [%Osc: oscillatory work/left ventricular (LV) total work] and the energy efficiency ratio (EER = LV total work/cardiac output). Ea(dyn)increased in septic animals (from 0.73 to 1.70;p= 0.012) and dropped after hemodynamic resuscitation. Ea(dyn)was related with the %Osc and EER [estimates: -0.101 (-0.137 to -0.064) and -9.494 (-11.964 to -7.024);penAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/cardiac outputarterial pressureseptic shockdynamic arterial elastancestroke volume variationpulse pressure variationStroke volumeLoadHeartAlgorithmsImpedancePowerresearch article33123025open access10.3389/fphys.2020.5628241664-042Xhttps://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2020.562824/pdf577550000001
