Effect of hypothermia on pharmacokinetics of rocuronium in pigs with hemorrhagic shock / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effect of hypothermia on the pharmacokinetics of rocuronium in the pigs with hemorrhagic shock.Methods Thirty-two Bama mini pigs of both sexes,aged 4-6 months,weighing 22-25 kg,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8 each) using a random number tablenormal temperature control group (group NC),normal temperature+hemorrhagic shock group (group NH),hypothermia control group (group HC),and hypothermia+hemorrhagic shock group (group HH).NC and NH groups were put in the normal temperature environment,and HC and HH groups were put in a freezer at-15 ℃.In NC and HC groups,rocuronium 3.78 mg/kg was injected via the auricular vein after the animals were awake.In NH and HH groups,hemorrhagic shock was then induced by removing 40％ of blood volume from the right femoral artery at a constant speed within 15 min (30 ml/kg),and rocuronium 3.78 mg/kg was injected via the auricular vein at 30 min after the model was successfully established.At 0 (T0),2 (T1),4 (T2),7 (T3),10 (T4),15 (T5),20 (T6),30 (T7),60 (T8),120 (T9),180 (T10),240 (T11) and 300 min (T12) after rocuronium injection,blood samples were collected from the internal jugular vein for determination of the blood concentration of rocuronium by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method.The maximum concentration (Cmax),elimination half-life (t1/2),plasma effect-site equilibration rate content (Ke0),area under concentration curve,and mean residence time (MRT) of rocuronium were calculated.Results Compared with group NC,the blood concentration of rocuronium was significantly decreased at T5-T12 in group NH,the blood concentration of rocuronium was significantly increased at T5-T12 in group HC,and t1/2 was significantly prolonged,Ke0 was decreased,and MRT was prolonged in NH and HC groups (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group HC,the blood concentration of rocuronium was significantly increased at T4-T12,t1/2 was prolonged,Ke0 was decreased,and MRT was prolonged in group HH (P＜0.05).Compared with group NH,the blood concentration of rocuronium was significantly increased at T5-T11,t1/2 was prolonged,Ke0 was decreased,and MRT was prolonged in group HH (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Hypothermia can reduce the pharmacokinetics of rocuronium in the pigs with hemorrhagic shock.
