Effects of different intraabdominal pressure of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on hemorrheology and microcirculation in rabbits / 中国应用生理学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study effects of different intraabdominal pressure of carbon dioxide (Cq2) pneumoperitoneum on hemorrheology and microcirculation in rabbits.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Eighteen female healthy rabbits weighing 2.2 kg to 3.5 kg were randomly divided into three groups equally based on pneumoperitoneum pressure 0 mmHg group (group I),10 mmHg group (group II) and 15 mmHg (group III). Each group received 1 h pneumoperitoneum under different pressure. Blood samples were taken at 5 min before CO2 pneumoperitoneum, at 30 and 60 min after pneumoperitoneum for the measurements of indexes of hemorrheology. Hemodynamics including heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the volume and velocity of the microcirculation of auricle were continuously monitored, such indexes were recorded at the related time.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Afer pneumoperitoneum at 30 and 60 min, compared with group I, HR, MAP, the whole blood viscosity, the aggregation and rigid indexes of RBC were significantly raised in group II (P < 0.05), the deformability indexes of RBC, the volume and velocity of the microcirculation were markedly decreased (P < 0.05). Even more significant changes were observed in group III (P < 0.01). The plasma viscosity and the hematocrit changed little.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>After CO2 pneumoperitoneum, hemorrheology is decreased; Although HR, MAP are raised, the volume and velocity of the microcirculation are decreased.</p>
