Peritoneal ventilation for oxygenation of asphyxia rabbits / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the oxygenation and heartbeat duration effect of peritoneal ventilation with oxygen on a rabbit asphyxia model so as to provide a basis for treatment of severe respiratory damage with peritoneal oxygenation technique. Methods Twenty-four New Zealand rabbits were randomized into control group,air group and oxygen group,eight rabbits per group.Trachea dissection and intubation,carotid artery and vein catheter and placement of peritoneal cavity in and out of air duct were performed.An asphyxia model was built by clamping the tracheal catheter and was administered with peritoneal ventilation (with air in air group and oxygen in oxygen group).Indices including blood gas and mean arterial pressure (MAP) before and at an interval of one minute after asphyxia and heartbeat duration were observed,and their differences between groups were compared. Results The arterial partial pressure of oxygen ( PaO2 ) in the oxygen group was higher than that in the control group within four minutes after asphyxia.The partial pressure of carbon dioxide ( PaCO2 ) [ (77.6 ± 11.2) mm Hg] in the oxygen group was significantly lower than (89.1 ± 10.1 )mm Hg in the control group at four minutes after asphyxia.The heartbeat duration [ (6.48 ± 0.89 ) minutes ] in the oxygen group was longer than (5.03 ± 0.51 ) minutes in the control group.MAP had no obvious changes in the three groups. Conclusion The transperitoneal ventilation with gaseous oxygen can alleviate the decrease of PaO2,increase of PaCO2 and prolong the duration of heartbeat in an asphyxia rabbit model.
