Effects of acute hypervolemic hemodilution with hydroxyethyl starch 13010.4 on intestinal mucosal barrier in a rabbit model of sepsis / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects of acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH) with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 on intestinal mucosal barrier in a rat model of sepsis.Methods Thirty healthy New Zealand rabbits of both sexes weighing 2.0-3.0 kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=10 each)group I sham operation; group II sepsis and group III AHH+sepsis.Sepsis was produced by modified colon ascendens stent peritonitis(CASP).At 4 h after CASP group III meceived HES 130/0.4 20 ml/kg iv at a rate of 20 ml/min.The MAP and HR were monitored and recorded at 4 h (before AHH) and 5,6,7,8 h after CASP.Blood samples were taken from carotid artery and superior mesenterie vein (SMV) at 4 h and 8 h after CASP for blood gas analysis and determination of plasma D-lactate concentration and intestinal oxygen extraction ratio.The rabbits were sacrificed at 8 h after CASP and a segment of ileum of 3 cm in length,5 cm from ileocecal valve,was removed for determination of wet/dry ileum weight ratio and microscopic examination.The degree of damage to intestinal mucous membrane was scored according to Chiu score (0=normal,5=severe damage).Results Sepsis-induced hypotension and metabolic acidosis,increased plasma D-lactate concentration,decreased intestinal oxygen extraction ratio,increased wet/dry ileum weight ratio and Chiu score in group II as compared with group I.AHH with HES 130/0.4 20 ml/kg significantly attenuated the scpsis-induced changes in group III.Conclusion AHH with HES 130/0.4 can attenuate damage to intestinal mucosal barrier produced by sepsis.
