ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of lumbar myelography on subarachnoid pressure, cardiorespiratory parameters and pressure-volume index in sheep. Eight sheep were evaluated. The animals were submitted to puncture of the cisterna magna for monitoring of subarachnoid pressure (SaP). Lumbar myelography was performed through applying Iohexol (0.4mL/kg). ToC, PAS, PAD, MAP, InspISO, FeISO, SaP and CPP were recorded immediately after anesthetic stabilization (M0), during lumbar puncture (M1), and two, four and six minutes after contrast application (M2, M3 and M4, respectively). Blood pressure initially increased, then decreased, returning to basal level, similarly observed for InspISo and FeISo. The SaP rose initially thereafter remaining stable. Despite of the effect on subarachnoid pressure, lumbar myelography can be considered safe in sheep.
RESUMO: O objetivo foi avaliar os efeitos da mielografia lombar na pressão subaracnóidea, parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios e índice pressão-volume em ovinos. Oito ovelhas foram avaliadas. Os animais foram submetidos à punção da cisterna magna para monitoramento da pressão subaracnoidea (SaP). A mielografia lombar foi realizada com a aplicação de Iohexol (0,4mL/kg). Os momentos estudados foram: imediatamente após a estabilização anestésica (M0), durante a punção lombar (M1), dois, quatro e seis minutos após a aplicação do contraste (M2, M3 e M4, respectivamente), para avaliar as seguintes variáveis: ToC, PAS, PAD, MAP, InspISO, FeISO, Sap e CPP. A pressão arterial aumentou inicialmente, depois diminuiu, retornando aos valores iniciais, padrão também observado para o InspISo e o FeISo. O SaP subiu inicialmente, posteriormente, permanecendo estável. A mielografia lombar, apesar de influenciar a pressão subaracnoidea, pode ser considerada segura em ovinos.

To compare intrahematomal pressure(IH) with epidural pressure(EP), lumbar subarachnoid pressure(LP) and intraventricular pressure(IV), 34 intracerebral hemorrhage patients from Dec. 1986 to Aug. 1987 were selected. We measured IH via stereotacically placed catheter and at the same time, we measured EP with fiberoptic sensor, LP by lumbar puncture and IV via stereotactically placed catheter during communication between hematoma and ventricle. The results obtained were as follows : 1) IH was the highest in most cases and IH, IV, LP and EP in orders by mean values. 2) In distribuion of EP, LP and IV compared with IH, EP had wide range of distribution(17~500%) compared to LP and IV. 3) There was a tendency of increased rate of higher IH than EP according to increased size of hematoma. 4) There was a tendency of increased rate of higher IH than EP in thalamic hemorrhage than putaminal hemorrhage. 5) ICP curves showed abrupt increase or decrease in cases of rebleeding or communication between hematoma and ventricle. 6) In analysis of low IH compared with EP and LP, the causes were due to checking of IH just after aspiration of large amount of hematoma(3 cases) and normal variations(6 cases). 7) In analysis of failed monitoring, EP was 5 cases(19%) and IH was 3 cases(8.8%) so more failed monitoring were found in EP than IH and there was no failed cases in LP and IV. From above results, we concluded that IH was the highest in most cases and EP was less reliable than other pressures.
