The current study was undertaken to ascertain the effect of prolonged IV infusion of Sr/sup 2 +/ on Sr:Ca ratios, as well as on hemodynamic changes. Sr gluconate was infused IV at constant rate of 0.7 ml/min. to 9 adult dogs, anesthetized with Nembutal for periods of 300 min. 3 dogs were infused with normal saline for the same periods. Samples for Sr/sup 2 +/ and Ca/sup 2 +/ and hemodynamic data were taken at q 30 min. The normal Sr:Ca ratio in dogs (1:507) was found to be much higher than in humans (1:2000). Sr/sup 2 +/ infusion resulted in a gradual increase of Sr/sup 2 +/ without significant change in serum Ca/sup 2 +/; fluctuations in Ca/sup 2 +/ conc. returned to normal values in the 2 mg/ml group. In the 8 mg/ml group, some decrease in serum Ca/sup 2 +/ was observed. Serum Sr/sup 2 +/ conc. increased X 163 (+/- 80) in the 2 mg Sr/ml group; x 727 (+/- 204) in the 8 mg Sr/ml group. Hemodynamic studies included measurements of Pa, Pw, CO, P syst, HR, PVR and SVR. No significant hemodynamic changes were observed following 2 mg/ml Sr/sup 2 +/ infusion. In the 8 mg/ml group, HR and CO were decreased while PVR and SVR were significantly increased. 11 references, 8 figures.
