[Prevention of hemodynamic disorders during anesthesia in middle-aged and elderly patients with essential hypertension. Components of anesthesia. II].

Hemodynamic parameters were evaluated during various stages of anesthesia in two groups of patients aged 60-85 years with mild essential hypertension. In group 1, routine preoperative treatment with hypotensive drugs was carried out and in group 2 differentiated preoperative treatment with calcium antagonists was carried out with consideration for a hemodynamic type. Group I patients were operated on under traditional neuroleptic analgesia (NLA), group 2 under NLA with 40% lower drug doses than in group 1 and with addition of calcium antagonists. To patients with hypo- and eukinetic hemodynamics, nifedipine was injected (bolus injection) in a dose of 14.2 micrograms/kg before induction and then was infused in a dose of 6.0-14.2 micrograms/kg/min. Patients with hyperkinetic hemodynamics were injected verapamil in a dose of 70-140 micrograms/kg (bolus injection) and then the same dose every hour of the operation. Differentiated use of calcium antagonists during anesthesia helped transform the hyper- and hypokinetic types of hemodynamics into a more rational eukinetic type, which was associated with a decrease of MVO2. Calcium antagonists, exerting analgesic, automatic stabilizing, and antihypoxic effects, prevented the hyperdynamic reactions complicating NLA in 30% cases and precluded complications of concomitant ischemic diseases, which were observed in 40% of group 1 patients.

[Effects of acute pharmacological blockade of the renin-angiotensin system on intrarenal hemodynamics in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic scleroderma].

AIM: To evaluate effects of an ACE inhibitor captopril on intrarenal hemodynamics during acute test in patients with lupus nephritis (LN) and chronic sclerodermic nephropathy (CSN). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Renal hemodynamics was studied using ultrasound duplex scanning of renal vessels (UDS) on Vingmed SD-100 unit in 5 patients with SLE with renal affection, 5 patients with scleroderma systematica (SS) with renal affection. The hemodynamic parameters were measured before and 1 hour after administration of 50 mg captopril. RESULTS: LN were found to have low arterial perfusion. CSN patients exhibited low intrarenal blood flow in high resistance of small vessels. Captopril improved intrarenal hemodynamics (enhancement of linear and volume blood flow) in LN patients; in CSN renal artery dilated and resistance of small vessels reduced while renal arterial perfusion increased. CONCLUSION: Improvement of intrarenal hemodynamics in LN and CSN patients in response to captopril allows to recommend administration of ACE inhibitors in SLE and SS with renal damage. Ultrasonic duplex scanning of renal vessels provides detailed information about the condition of intrarenal vessels without invasion.

Cerebral hemodynamics on MR perfusion images before and after bypass surgery in patients with giant intracranial aneurysms.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Preoperative assessment of the anatomy and dynamics of cerebral circulation for patients with giant intracranial aneurysm can improve both outcome prediction and therapeutic approach. The aim of our study was to use perfusion MR imaging to evaluate cerebral hemodynamics in such patients before and after extraintracranial high-flow bypass surgery. METHODS: Five patients with a giant aneurysm of the intracranial internal carotid artery underwent MR studies before, 1 week after, and 1 month after high-flow bypass surgery. We performed MR and digital subtraction angiography, and conventional and functional MR sequences (diffusion and perfusion). Surgery consisted of middle cerebral artery (MCA)-internal carotid artery bypass with saphenous vein grafts (n = 4) or MCA-external carotid artery bypass (n = 1). RESULTS: In four patients, MR perfusion study showed impaired hemodynamics in the vascular territory supplied by the MCA of the aneurysm side, characterized by significantly reduced mean cerebral blood flow (CBF), whereas mean transit time (MTT) and regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) were either preserved, reduced, or increased. After surgery, angiography showed good canalization of the bypass graft. MR perfusion data obtained after surgery showed improved cerebral hemodynamics in all cases, with a return of CBF index (CBFi), MTT, and rCBV to nearly normal values. CONCLUSION: Increased MTT with increased or preserved rCBV can be interpreted as a compensatory vasodilatory response to reduced perfusion pressure, presumably from compression and disturbed flow in the giant aneurysmal sac. When maximal vasodilation has occurred, however, the brain can no longer compensate for diminished perfusion by vasodilation, and rCBV and CBFi diminish. Bypass surgery improves hemodynamics, increasing perfusion pressure and, thus, CBFi. Perfusion MR imaging can be used to evaluate cerebral hemodynamics in patients with intracranial giant aneurysm.

[Central hemodynamics in the remote period in children operated for extrahepatic portal hypertension].

The authors studied functional state of circulation in various terms after operation. Depending on anastomosis creation two group of patients different by visceral hemodynamics change were identified. 58 patients were examined before operation, one year and later after the operation. Functional state of central hemodynamics was evaluated with echo- and Dopplercardiography. It was revealed that after operation the number of children with hyperdynamic type of circulation decreased. A year after distal splenorenal anastomosis creation number of children with hyperdynamic type of central hemodynamics decreased by 20%. Later, regardless of anastomosis type increased cardiac index was revealed in 32.32 and 36.3% children respectively after total and selective anastomosis creation. After total bypass more severe hemodynamic disorders (diastolic dysfunction and inotropic disorders) developed. After distal splenorenal anastomosis creation hemodynamic disorders were seen later due to increase of bypass volume blood flow. Increase of venous return leads to moderate diastolic overloading and myocardial hypertrophy.

Impact of small valve size on hemodynamics and left ventricular mass regression with the Toronto SPV stentless aortic bioprosthesis.

BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: The hemodynamic performance of stentless aortic bioprostheses has been previously well described. Because the potential for prosthesis-patient mismatch is greatest for small valves in the aortic position, the present study sought to compare the hemodynamic performance and degree of left ventricular (LV) mass regression between valve sizes for the Toronto SPV valve, with special interest in measures of relief of LV outflow obstruction afforded by the smallest valves. METHODS: This study included 257 patients (178 men, 79 women; mean age 63.5+/-11.4 years; range: 34-93 years) from six investigative centers with complete echocardiography/Doppler data obtained through three years. Valve sizes implanted were 21 mm (n = 11), 23 mm (n = 23), 25 mm (n = 58), 27 mm (n = 83), and 29 mm (n = 82). Echocardiography was performed at discharge, six months, one year, and yearly thereafter, and interpreted in a centralized core laboratory. Mean gradient, effective orifice area (EOA), indexed EOA, and absolute and percent change in LV mass index were used as markers of hemodynamic performance. RESULTS: For all valve sizes, mean and peak gradients fell and EOA increased early after surgery. There were no differences between groups in the degree to which gradients fell, and EOA increased from discharge to one year follow up. At one year, indexed EOA was 0.9 cm2/m2 for valve sizes 21 and 23 mm, and 1.0-1.2 cm2/m2 for sizes 25, 27 and 29 mm. There was statistically significant LV mass regression for all valve sizes (p <0.05), and no differences between valve sizes in the magnitude of absolute or percent change in LV mass index between baseline and three years. CONCLUSION: The Toronto SPV valve demonstrates excellent parameters of hemodynamic performance for all valve sizes, including the smallest valves used in only a minority of patients. Findings of indexed EOA > or = 0.9 cm2/m2, and equivalent degrees of LV mass regression for all valve sizes, reinforces the excellent hemodynamic performance of stentless aortic bioprostheses, and suggests that prosthesis-patient mismatch should be minimized with these valves.

The effect of magneto-treated blood autotransfusion on central hemodynamic values and cerebral circulation in patients with essential hypertension.

OBJECTIVE: The work was carried out to study the effect of magneto-treated blood autotransfusion on the values of central and cerebral hemodynamics in patients with essential hypertension. METHODS: Sixty-six patients with stage II essential hypertension aged 31-60 years who underwent magneto-treated blood autotransfusion were evaluated and treated, at the Cardiology Department, Hospital of Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Azerbaijan Republic, over a period of 8 years. The diagnosis was based on clinical examination and generally accepted criteria of essential hypertension stages proposed in 1978 by the World Health Organization. RESULTS: Sixty-six patients with stage II essential hypertension with stable drop in blood pressure, simultaneously showed a positive clinical effect. Central hemodynamic changes in the process of magneto-treated blood autotransfusion were different and depended on the initial state of circulation. High clinical effect showed the patients with hyperkinetic type of hemodynamics. Their blood pressure were significantly lower than the patients with hypokinetic type of circulation. CONCLUSION: Rheoencephalographic study demonstrated that magneto-treated blood autotransfusion possessed insignificant effect on cerebral hemodynamics, mainly expressed by the reduction of arterial blood flow tension in the patients with hypokinetic type of hemodynamics.

[Effect of different infusion volume on hemodynamics of portal hypertension canines after hemorrhagic shock].

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of different infusion volume on hemodynamics of portal hypertension (PHT) canines after hemorrhagic shock (HS). METHODS: PHT canine models were made by coarctating a half main portal vein with silk line chronic embolization. Two weeks later, the canine models were assigned to hemorrhagic shock by femoral artery venesection quickly. They were divided into two groups: large volume infusion group (n=6) and small volume infusion group (n=6). Hemodynamics indexes of PHT canines after HS were monitored continuously. We also examined the effect of different infusion volume on hemodynamics. RESULTS: PHT canines showed a series of hemodynamics changes in hemorrhagic shock stage, which aggravated hemodynamics disorder in PHT. After quick infusion, MAP, IVCP, PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF, and HBF increased significantly. These indexes in large volume infusion group were higher than those in small volume infusion group. PVR, SVR, HAR decreased significantly. PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF, and HBF showed a rebound increase above baseline values in large volume infusion group. The changes of PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF, and HBF were parallel with MAP and IVCP and without rebound increase in small volume infusion group. In large volume infusion group PVPG increased earlier and more significant than PVP and exceeded baseline by 13% (2.58 0.37) kPa, so the danger of rebleeding rose greatly. In small volume infusion group PVPG was over 22% (1.67 0.27) kPa lower than baseline, which infers that the danger of rebleeding reduced greatly. SVR and HAR were lower in large volume infusion group. PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF, and HBF showed a positive correlation with accumulated vein infusion volume. PVR showed a positive correlation with accumulated vein infusion volume in small volume infusion group. HAR showed a negative correlation with accumulated vein infusion volume in large volume infusion group. CONCLUSIONS: PHT canines after HS show a rebound increase of PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF, and HBF above baseline values in large volume infusion group. In small volume infusion group, however, no rebound increase is noticed. Large volume infusion may cause PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF, and HBF increase higher than small volume infusion.

[Renal and uterine hemodynamics in pregnancy with chronic glomerulonephritis of the hypertonic type].

AIM: To study gestational changes in renal and uterine hemodynamics and their relation to systemic and intracardiac hemodynamics in pregnant hypertensive women with chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Echocardiography, ultrasonic dopplerography of renal and uterine arteries were made in 16 pregnant women with CGN and AH syndrome in trimester II-III and 1-3 months after the delivery. Hemodynamic indices in pregnancy were compared to those after the delivery which were considered baseline. RESULTS: In CGN pregnant women with AH syndrome resistance of renal arteries did not change in pregnancy and were similar postpartum. With advancing pregnancy, the resistance of the uterine arteries diminished. The indices of the resistance in the main trunk of the renal artery correlated with volumetric cardiohemodynamic indices, heart rate and total peripheral resistance in segmental interlobular arteries. No significant correlation were found between uterine, systemic and cardiac hemodynamics though it existed between renal and uterine blood flow. CONCLUSION: Pregnancy does not affect vascular resistance of renal arteries in CGN pregnant women with AH syndrome, but contrary to pregnancy with essential hypertension in that with CGN and AH syndrome renal circulation responds to changes in systemic hemodynamics and volumetric indices of cardiohemodynamics. These findigns may reflect disturbances in autoregulation of renal circulation and additional effects on pregnancy outcome in women with CGN and AH syndrome.

[Change in central hemodynamics in lymphoma patients].

AIM: To elucidate features of hemodynamics in patients with lymphoma and hemodynamic effects of polychemotherapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Parameters of central hemodynamics were studied echocardiographycally in 42 patients with lymphoma. RESULTS: In a definite rise in the levels of tumor progression markers, changes in the immunity, impaired hemopoiesis there was rearrangement of hemodynamics (development of tachycardia, trend to excentric remodeling of the left ventricle). The above changes in hemodynamics enhanced in conduction of polychemotherapy. CONCLUSION: To avoid cardiotoxicity of polychemotherapy, lymphoma patients should receive cardioprotectors.

[Effect of electromagnetic irradiation of the millimetric range on hemodynamics in patients with arterial hypertension].

The study of efficacy of combined therapy including exposure to millimetric electromagnetic radiation (MER) in hypertensive patients has found a corrective hemodynamic effect of such treatment which appeared more potent than pharmacotherapy alone or combinations with sinusoidal modulated currents and placebo electromagnetic radiation. In hypokinetic and eukinetic types of hemodynamics MER raises cardiac output, lowers peripheral vascular resistance; in the hyperkinetic type there was a fall in the stroke and cardiac indices, compensatory rise of vascular resistance. The above changes in the course of treatment result in decline of both systolic and diastolic pressure and conversion of "extreme" types of hemodynamics in eukinetic in 11% patients. In hypertensive patients with eukinetic and hyperkinetic type of hemodynamics the best hemodynamic efficacy was achieved in combined therapy with 5.6 mm radiation.

Hemodynamics of the male fat distribution pattern.

A male fat distribution pattern with abdominal obesity increases the risk for hypertension and cardiovascular disease, and is closely linked to a number of metabolic aberrations including insulin resistance. Recent observations suggest that changes in the peripheral vasculature may be of pathophysiological importance for the development of hypertension and its associated metabolic disturbances. We therefore investigated the hemodynamic correlates of abdominal obesity. A central fat distribution was found to be associated with a specific hemodynamic profile, characterized by elevated total peripheral resistance and lower cardiac output. In response to sympathoadrenal activation during mental stress, the normal cardiac output-dependent pressor response was reversed into a systemic vasoconstrictor response. There was a direct relationship between degree of abdominal obesity (expressed as waist-hip ratio) and fasting serum insulin. Furthermore, the stress-induced increase in total peripheral resistance correlated positively with fasting serum insulin concentration, whereas there was an inverse relation between serum insulin and cardiac output and heart rate. In a second study, the circulatory responses to stress during physiological hyperinsulinemia were investigated. During hyperglycemic hyperinsulinemia the central hemodynamic response to stress was changed into a systemic vasoconstrictor response. In the forearm the physiological vasodilation during stress was markedly attenuated, suggesting that insulin may have peripheral vascular effects. In conclusion, central obesity is associated with a specific hemodynamic pattern characterized by higher total peripheral resistance and lower cardiac output, and a vasoconstrictor response to psychosocial stress. This hemodynamic response pattern may be related to insulin metabolism.

Carvedilol in hypertension: effects on hemodynamics and 24-hour blood pressure.

Nineteen men (mean age, 44 years) with moderately severe essential hypertension were studied invasively at rest and during exercise. After initial predrug recordings, patients received 25 mg carvedilol orally, and central hemodynamics at rest and during exercise were recorded 1 and 2 h after tablet intake to evaluate the immediate effects of carvedilol. Blood pressure decreased by 11% within 1 h, and the hemodynamic results indicated a combination beta-blocking and vasodilating effect. After 6-9 months of treatment (dose, 25-100 mg), supine hemodynamics were recorded, first 12-24 h after the last dose and then 1 and 2 h after an additional 25-mg dose. During chronic treatment (2 h after the last dose with the patient at rest and in the supine position), mean arterial pressure was reduced by 17% (p less than 0.001) and total peripheral resistance index was reduced by 6% (NS), whereas heart rate and cardiac index were reduced by 12%. Exercise hemodynamics demonstrated a decrease in blood pressure of 17% (p less than 0.001). Exercise stroke index increased by 5% (NS), in part compensating for the reduction in heart rate of 17%. Total peripheral resistance index was reduced by 5% (NS). Twenty-four-hour blood pressure monitoring (Accutracker II) demonstrated significant blood pressure reductions in awake as well as in asleep patients. Blood pressures decreased from 163/102 to 141/84 mm Hg in from 135/78 to 122/68 mm Hg in awake and asleep patients; respectively. Carvedilol is an effective antihypertensive agent, and the hemodynamic mode of action reflects alpha 1- and beta 1-blocking activities.

[Effect of the severity of liver disease on renal hemodynamics and renal oxygen consumption in patients with cirrhosis].

In patients with cirrhosis, it has been shown that abnormal systemic and splanchnic hemodynamics and systemic oxygen (O2) consumption are related to the severity of liver disease. Little is known on the relationship between the severity of cirrhosis, on one hand, and renal hemodynamics and O2 consumption, on the other. We measured renal hemodynamics and renal O2 consumption in 31 patients Pugh's grade A and B and in 13 patients grade C. Systemic and splanchnic hemodynamics as well as systemic O2 consumption were studied. Renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate, and renal O2 consumption were not significantly different between grades A and B and grade C patients. The renal fraction of systemic O2 consumption was higher (11.4 +/- 5.9 vs 7.9 +/- 4.1 percent respectively; P less than 0.05) and the systemic O2 consumption (111 +/- 23 vs 128 +/- 26 ml.min-1.m-2 respectively; P less than 0.05) lower in patients with grade C than in grades A and B patients. The degree of systemic hyperkineticism and portal hypertension was related to the severity of cirrhosis. In our patients, renal hemodynamics and renal O2 consumption were not related to the severity of cirrhosis. However, liver failure was associated with an increased renal fraction of systemic O2 consumption due to unchanged renal O2 consumption and decreased systemic O2 consumption.

[New approaches to an understanding of hemodynamic norms].

Tetrapolar rheography was used to investigate central hemodynamics parameters in a group of 80 healthy subjects aged 25-68. Hyperkinetic, eukinetic and hypokinetic types of circulation were determined by interval distribution according to cardiac index. The proportion of the examinees by their hemodynamic type was: 16.3:63.7:20.0%. In hyperkinetic type the optimal level of average blood pressure was provided by a relatively high cardiac output (CO) and low total and specific peripheral resistance (TPR, SPR). The hypokinetic type of hemodynamics was characterized by a low level of CO and a high value of TPR and SPR. Subjects with eukinetic hemodynamic type were in an intermediate position. It is suggested to take into consideration the hemodynamic type in hypertensive subjects for drug selection and treatment control.

[Effect of Milkvetch Injection on cardiac function and hemodynamics in children with tetralogy of Fallot after radical operation].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of Milkvetch Injection (MI) on cardiac function and hemodynamics in children with tetralogy of Fallot after radical operation. METHODS: Thirty-two children with tetralogy of Fallot were divided into two groups, the 20 patients in the control group treated with conventional treatment and the 12 patients in the treated group treated with 15 ml of MI every 12 hrs for 7 days. The cardiac function and hemodynamic parameters were determined by echocardiography and thermodilution catheter inserted in pulmonary artery. RESULTS: Patients' cardiac function and hemodynamic parameters were improved significantly 1 hr after administering 15 ml of MI Injection, but restored to the level before medication in 2-4 hrs. Administering MI injection for successive 7 days could gradually improve patients' cardiac function and hemodynamic parameters after operation, and the improvement became more evident with the prolonging time of medication. The intubation time, intensive care unit duration and the time of intravenously administration of inotropic drugs in the treated group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: MI could significantly improve the hemodynamics and cardiac function, and shorten the recovery time in children with tetralogy of Fallot after radical operation.

Transesophageal echocardiography in hypotensive patients after cardiac operations. Comparison with hemodynamic parameters.

Because it is sometimes difficult to determine the cause of hypotension in patients after cardiac operations, we assessed the value of transesophageal echocardiography in this respect, and we studied 60 consecutive patients who had hypotension despite positive inotropic medication and, in some patients, mechanical support. Echocardiographic diagnoses were compared with diagnoses based on hemodynamic parameters. Follow-up examinations were completed in all patients to confirm the final diagnoses. Echocardiographic signs of hypovolemia were present in 14 patients, tamponade in six, left ventricular failure in 16, right ventricular failure in 11, and biventricular failure in eight. Echocardiographic examination proved to be inconclusive in five patients. Comparison with hemodynamic parameters showed agreement on diagnoses (hypovolemia versus tamponade versus cardiac failure) in 30 patients (50%). Echocardiography correctly identified two patients with tamponade and six with hypovolemia; these conditions were not suspected by standard hemodynamic data; in five patients unnecessary reoperation was prevented, although hemodynamic values were suggestive of tamponade. Echocardiography also identified subcategories of patients at high risk of death (those with signs of right ventricular and biventricular failure). These findings suggest that transesophageal echocardiography performed on patients after cardiac operations, at the bedside in the intensive care unit, can readily elucidate the cause of hypotension in the large majority of patients and is a valuable adjunct to hemodynamic evaluation in patient management. Furthermore, it appears to be possible to identify subcategories of high-risk patients, based on these echocardiographic findings.

Effects of different infusion volumes on hemodynamics of portal hypertension canines after hemorrhagic shock.

BACKGROUND: Portal hypertension (PHT) with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage as its chief complication is a very common disease with great harm to humans. The effects of infusion volume, speed, and type on hemodynamics in case of cirrhosis, PHT esophageal variceal bleeding, and their mechanism should be clarified. This study was designed to assess the effects of different infusion volumes on hemodynamics of PHT canines after hemorrhagic shock (HS). METHODS: PHT canine models were made by chronic embolization via coarctating half of the main portal vein with silk suture. Two weeks later, the models were subjected to hemorrhagic shock by quick femoral artery venesection. The canines were divided into two groups to resuscitate: one to receive a large volume of infusion (n=6) (large volume infusion group) and the other to receive a small volume of infusion (n=6) (small volume infusion group). Hemodynamic indexes of PHT canines after HS and infusion were observed closely. RESULTS: The PHT canines showed a series of hemodynamical changes in hemorrhagic shock stage, which aggravated hemodynamical disorder in PHT. After quick infusion, mean arterial pressure (MAP), inferior vena cava pressure (IVCP), portal venous pressure (PVP), portal vein pressure gradient (PVPG), portal vein blood flow (PVBF), hepatic artery blood flow (HABF) and hepatic blood flow (HBF) increased significantly. These indexes in the large volume infusion group were higher than those in the small volume infusion group. Portal vascular resistance (PVR), splanchnic vascular resistance (SVR), hepatic arterial resistance (HAR) decreased significantly, but PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF and HBF showed a rebounding increase above the baseline values in the large volume infusion group. The changes of PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF and HBF were in parallel with those of MAP and inferior vena cava pressure (IVCP), without a rebounding increase in the small volume infusion group. In the large volume infusion group PVPG increased earlier and more significantly than did PVP; moreover PVPG exceeded the baseline by 13%, making the possibility of rebleeding great. In the small volume infusion group, PVPG was lower than the baseline by more than 22%, indicating a small possibility of rebleeding. SVR and HAR were lower in the large volume infusion group. PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF and HBF were positively correlated with accumulated volume of vein infusion. PVR showed a positive correlation with accumulated volume of vein infusion in the small volume infusion group. HAR was negatively correlated with accumulated volume of vein infusion in the large volume infusion group. CONCLUSIONS: PHT canines after HS, resuscitated by vein infusion, may show a rebounding increase of PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF and HBF above the baseline values in the large volume infusion group but not in the small volume infusion group. A large volume infusion causes PVP, PVPG, PVBF, HABF and HBF to increase higher than does a small volume infusion.

[Comparison of resuscitation with Parkland formula and with improved protocol on hemodynamics in projectile-burn combined wound in dogs with seawater immersion].

OBJECTIVE: To compare hemodynamic effects of resuscitation with Parkland formula or with the improved protocol on projectile-burn combined wound in dogs with seawater immersion. METHODS: A model of projectile-burn combined wound in dogs with seawater immersion was reproduced, and 20 dogs were randomized into three groups: projectile-burn combined wound with seawater immersion (immersion group, n=8), Parkland formula resuscitation (lactated Ringer's solution 4 ml/kg per 1%total body surface area for 24 hours, standard resuscitation group, n=6), and improved protocol groups (lactated Ringer's solution 2.5 ml/kg per 1% total body surface area colloid solution 6% hetastarch 0.5 ml/kg per 1% total body surface area for 24 hours, improved group, n=6). Changes of hemodynamics and central temperature (CT) before injury, and 4, 7, 10, 20 and 28 hours after injury were observed. The mortality was observed. RESULTS: After resuscitation with Parkland formula, CT as well as hemodynamic indexes and amount of urine were improved, but central venous pressure (CVP) and the amount of urine were higher in early period of resuscitation. CVP was (14.7+/-3.1)cm H2O and the amount of urine was (2.38+/-0.18)ml.h(-1).kg(-1) at 7 hours after injury. Hemodynamics was not stable during later period of experiment. After resuscitation with the improved protocol, the hemodynamics ameliorated better than resuscitation with Parkland formula. No animals died in improved group, but 4 and 1 died respectively in immersion group and standard resuscitation group. CONCLUSION: Fluid resuscitation according to the improved protocol is more suitable for projectile-burn combined wound in dogs with seawater immersion than resuscitation with Parkland formula.
