ABSTRACT
O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os efeitos da expansão volêmica produzida pelo hidroxietilamido 130/0,4 (HES 130/0,4) ou pelo sangue em gatas com hipovolemia induzida. Foram utilizadas 12 gatas adultas, sem raça definida (SRD), com peso médio de 2,85±0,28kg e hígidas. Os animais foram induzidos à anestesia geral com isofluorano a 5V por cento, intubados e conectados a um sistema sem reinalação de gases. Após a instrumentação, os animais foram mantidos sob anestesia com isoflurano em 1,3V por cento e mantidos em ventilação mecânica, ciclada a pressão. Em seguida, foi induzida a hipovolemia por meio da retirada de 30ml kg-1 de sangue da artéria femoral. Após 60 minutos da estabilização do paciente, os tratamentos foram iniciados. No grupo hidroxietilamido (GH, n=06), os animais receberam, como reposição volêmica, o hidroxietilamido 130/0,4 no mesmo volume de sangue retirado e, no grupo sangue (GS, n=06), os animais receberam o próprio sangue retirado, sendo considerado grupo controle. A pressão arterial sistólica, a diastólica e a média e a pressão venosa central aumentaram após a reposição volêmica em ambos os grupos. Observou-se, para o GH, aumento da PaCO2 no T15, no T30 e no T60. Houve redução do pH no T30 e no T45 e de íons Na+ no T90 para GH. A restauração das pressões arteriais com a administração de HES 130/0,4 foi similar ao grupo controle. A reposição volêmica com HES 130/0,4 produz aumento acentuado da PVC; e o uso do HES 130/0,4 em gatas submetidas à hipovolemia não produziu alterações clinicamente significativas no equilíbrio ácido-básico.
The aim of this study was to compare the volemic expansion effects produced by hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES 130/0.4) or blood, in female cats with induced hypovolemia. Twelve healthy adult female cats, crossbreed and weighing an average of 2.85±0.28kg were used. They were induced into general anesthesia with isofluorane at 5V percent, intubated and connected to a non-rebreathing system. After instrumentation, the animals were maintained under anesthesia with isofluorane at 1.3V percent and maintained on pressure cycled mechanic ventilation. Afterwards, hypovolemia was induced by withdrawal of 30ml kg-1 of blood from the femoral artery. After 60 minutes of stabilization of the patient, the treatments were initiated. In the hydroxyethyl starch group (GH, n=06) the animals received hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 as volemic expansion at the same volume of blood withdrawed, in the blood group (GS, n=06) the animals received their own withdrawed blood, being considered the control group. The systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures and central venous pressure increased after volemic expansion in both groups. An increase of PaCO2 at T15, T30 and T60 in GH was observed. In addition, there was reduction of pH at T30 and T45 and Na+ ions at T90 in GH. The arterial pressure restoration with the use of HES 130/0.4 was similar to the control group; the volemic expansion with HES 130/0,4 produces accentuated increase of CVP; the use of HES 130/0,4 in female cats submitted to hypovolemia did not produce clinically significant alterations in acid-base equilibrium.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) with hypertrophy of the basal septum is the most common etiology of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. In this article, we report the case of a patient with a structurally normal heart who developed hemodynamic deterioration due to severe LVOT obstruction following treatment with catecholamines. Hypovolemia accompanied with a hyperdynamic condition, resulting from catecholamine treatment, may cause dynamic LVOT obstruction due to the systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve leaflet. The solution for this is early recognition and correction of aggravating factors such as, withdrawal of catecholamine therapy and volume replacement.

Hypokalemia (serum K+ < 3.5 mEq/1) is a potentially serious adverse effect of diuretic ingestión. We report a 27 year-old woman admitted with muscle weakness, a serum potassium of 2.0 mEq/1, metabolic alkalosis and EKG abnormalities simulating cardiac ischemia, that reverted with potassium chloride administration. She admitted high dose furosemide self-medication for edema. Glomerular filtration rate, tubular sodium reabsortion, potassium secretion, the renin-aldosterone system, total body water distribution and capillary permeability, were studied sequentially until 90 days after her admission. There was hyperactivity of the renin-aldosterone axis, reduction in extracellular and intracellular volumes, normal capillary permeability and high sodium tubular reabsorption, probably explained by a "rebound" salt retention associated with her decreased extracellular volume.

Estudaram-se os efeitos de soluções salinas isotônica e hipertônica em eqüinos hipovolêmicos sobre as concentrações séricas de sódio, cloreto e potássio e freqüências cardíaca (FC) e respiratória (FR). Quinze eqüinos machos com peso entre 390 e 475kg e idades entre quatro e 18 anos foram submetidos à retirada de sangue correspondente a 2 por cento do peso corporal e distribuídos em três grupos de igual número: o grupo GSH recebeu solução hipertônica de NaCl a 7,5 por cento em glicose a 5 por cento; o GSI, solução isotônica de NaCl a 0,9 por cento; e o GC não foi tratado. Os eletrólitos séricos foram avaliados antes (T0), após a retirada de sangue (T1) e após a infusão das soluções, entre 20 e 30 minutos (T2), entre 60 e 70 minutos (T3) e entre 120 e 130 minutos (T4). Após T0, houve elevação da FC e da FR, e as concentrações séricas de Na, Cl, K permaneceram inalteradas. Após a infusão, houve melhora das variáveis clínicas em GSI e GSH, em relação ao GC. Quanto a T3 e T4, os valores de Na em T2 do GSH foram maiores, e os de Cl e de K não se alteraram. As soluções hipertônica e isotônica são seguras na correção da hipovolemia induzida e não produzem alteração eletrolítica significativa.
The effect of isotonic and hypertonic solutions on serum levels of sodium, chloride and potassium and cardiac (CR) and respiratory rates (RR) of hypovolemic horses were studied. Fifteen horses weighting from 390 to 475kg, aging from four to 18-years-old were submitted to bleeding of 2 percent of body weight and divided in three groups: 7.5 percent NaCl hypertonic saline in 5 percent glucose (GSH), 0.9 percent NaCl isotonic saline and control group (GC). Serum electrolytes were evaluated before (T0) and after bleeding (T1) and after the administration of the solutions between 20 and 30 minutes (T2), 60 and 70 minutes (T3) and 120 and 130 minutes (T4). After T0, CR and RR increased while serum sodium, chloride, potassium were not affected. After the treatment, the clinical variables improved in GSI and GSH as compared to GC. The Na levels increased in GSH at T2 being higher than T3 and T4 while chloride and potassium concentrations did not change. The hypertonic and isotonic solutions safely corrected the hypovolemia of the horses, without altering significantly the electrolyte balance.
