Correlação da pressão coloidosmótica com a evolução clínica de cadelas com sepse submetidas a tratamento intensivo / Correlation of colloid osmotic pressure with clinical progress in female dogs with septicemia submitted to intensive therapy

Caldeira, Juliana de Araujo 17 December 2010 (has links)
Nos quadros de sepse ocorre o aumento da permeabilidade vascular, translocação e perda de albumina para o espaço extravascular, resultando assim em hipoalbuminemia e redução da pressão coloidosmótica plasmática. Desta forma o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a relação da pressão coloidosmótica com a evolução clínica de 41 cadelas com sepse grave ou choque séptico decorrente de piometra que foram submetidas a ovariosalpingohisterectomia. Para tanto, os valores da pressão arterial sistólica, do débito urinário, do lactato, do déficit de base venoso e da pressão coloidosmótica foram avaliados a cada três horas ao longo do período de internação. O momento da mensuração da pressão coloidosmótica foi distinto entre os grupos, sendo grupo I (critério clínico) (n= 21) avaliado após o fim do tratamento e no grupo II (critério quantitativo) (n= 20), as amostras foram avaliadas imediatamente após a colheita. As variáveis clínicas utilizadas como guia a administração de coloide no grupo I não apresentaram correlação com os valores de pressão coloidosmótica baixo. A administração de coloide não apresentou impacto sobre os valores de albumina e pressão coloidosmótica, bem como não interferiu na perfusão tecidual. A pressão coloidosmótica apresentou uma correlação não significativa e inversamente proporcional com o SOFA. Desta forma, a partir dos resultados obtidos é possível concluir que os valores da pressão coloidosmótica não apresentaram correlação com os valores das variáveis de perfusão tecidual; o coloide não contribuiu para a melhora da perfusão tecidual e da manutenção da pressão coloidosmótica após a administração de grandes volumes de solução cristaloide. / Sepsis induces increased vascular permeability, translocation and albumin loss to extracellular space, resulting in hypoalbuminemia and lower plasma colloid osmotic pressure. This study correlate colloid osmotic pressure with the clinical progress of 41 female dogs presenting severe sepsis or sepsis shock due to pyometra, submitted to ovario-salpingo-hysterectomy. The parameters evaluated were: systolic arterial pressure, urinary debt, blood lactate, venous base excess and colloid osmotic pressure. Samples were collected every three hours during the inpatient period. Laboratorial analysis of colloid osmotic pressure was performed in different timings: group I (clinic criteria, n=21), samples analyzed only after the end of the treatment; and group II (quantitative criteria, n=20): samples analyzed immediately after collection. The parameters were a guide to evaluate the necessity of colloid administration. We found no correlation between the parameters evaluate and the values of colloid osmotic pressure. The administration of colloid presented a non-significant and inversely proportional correlation with SOFA. We concluded that colloid osmotic pressure is not directly correlated with tissue perfusion and colloid administration does not improve tissue perfusion or colloid osmotic pressure, even after the administration of substantial volumes of crystalloid solution.

Avaliação de parâmetros hemostáticos em cães de diferentes categorias de risco anestésico no período peri-operatório / Evaluation of hemostatic parameters in dogs of different anesthetic risk categories at perioperative periods

Moroz, Ludmila Rodrigues 12 December 2008 (has links)
A hemostasia é um evento biológico passível de ser avaliado e estudado, assim como seus distúrbios. Há situações durante a anestesia que podem cursar com alterações hemostáticas culminando com aumento do sangramento ou até mesmo hemorragias graves. Os tempos de coagulação têm recebido especial atenção tendo-se em vista os diferentes contratempos hemostáticos que pode ocorrer durante o procedimento anestésico-cirúrgico. Sendo assim, nesse estudo buscou-se estabelecer os valores padrões para tempo de protrombina (TP) e de tromboplastina parcial ativada (TTPA) para cães submetidos a diferentes procedimentos cirúrgicos. Foram estudados 50 cães hígidos para padronização dos valores de TTPA e TP utilizando aparelho automático. Os valores de TTPA estavam dentro dos valores de normalidade da literatura (6,9 a 17,6 segundos) e valores de TP discretamente maiores (de 6,65 a 12,8 segundos). Foram estudadas 20 cadelas classificadas como ASA I e 18 cães ASA II e III. Nestes animais observaram-se aumentos significativos de valores de TTPA (de 12,04 para 14,29 segundos em ASA I, com P<0,0378; e de 13,4 para 15,11 segundos nos cães ASA II e III, P<0,0067) e de TP (de 8,36 para 9,7 segundos em ASA I, P<0,0323; e de 8,32 para 9,34 segundos nos caes ASA II e III, P< 0,0084) entre os momentos pré e pós-anestésicos Estes aumentos acompanham quedas da pressão coloidosmótica, indicando que o processo de anestesia, cirurgia e fluidoterapia causam hemodiluição, e conseqüente aumento nos tempo de coagulação. / Hemostasis is a biological event that could be evaluated and studied, just like yours disturbs. There are situations in to anesthetic procedures that could curse with hemostatics disturbs causing bleeding increase or even critical blood loss. The blood clotting times have been received special attention because different hemostatic setbacks that could occur during the anesthetic and surgical procedures. This way, this study look for establish the values for reference to protrombine time (PT) and to activated partial tromboplastin time (APTT) for dogs. Were studied 50 healthy dogs to standardize the values of PT and APTT utilizing an automatic instrument. The APTT values was in agreement with the literature values (6,9 to 17, 6 seconds), and the PT values was discret increased when compared with literature (from 6,65 to 12,8 seconds). Was studied 20 bitches classifieds as ASA I and 18 dogs classifieds as ASA II and III. In this animals observed significant increase values of APTT (from 12,04 to 14,29 seconds in the ASA I, P<0,0378; and from 13,4 to 15,11 seconds in the dogs ASA II and III, P<0,0067) and of PT (from 8,36 to 9,7 seconds in ASA I, P<0,0323; and from 8,32 to 9,34 seconds in the ASA II and III dogs) between the pre and post anesthetic moments. These increases attendance decease in the colloid osmotic pressure, indicating that the anesthetic, surgical and fluid therapy procedures can cause hemodilution, and consequent increase in the blood clotting times.

Effects of Tetrastarch Administration on Hemostatic, Laboratory, and Hemodynamic Variables in Healthy Dogs and Dogs with Systemic Inflammation

Gauthier, Vincent 05 September 2013 (has links)
Hydroxyethyl starches (HES) are the most routinely used synthetic colloids during fluid resuscitation and have reported effects on coagulation. The overall goal of the investigation in this thesis was to evaluate the effects of tetrastarch administration on hemodynamic, laboratory, and hemostatic variables in healthy dogs and dogs with systemic inflammation. The objectives were to compare hemodynamic and laboratory variables in dogs receiving an isotonic crystalloid (0.9% NaCl) or tetrastarch during health and after induction of systemic inflammation; to compare the hemostatic effects of an isotonic crystalloid (0.9% NaCl) and synthetic colloid (tetrastarch) in healthy dogs and dogs with induced systemic inflammation; to compare two different protocols for TEG® activation and to determine the correlation between TEG® variables and traditional coagulation test results. Sixteen adult purpose-bred Beagles were randomized into one of two groups receiving fluid resuscitation with either 40 mL/kg IV isotonic crystalloid (0.9% NaCl) or synthetic colloid (tetrastarch) after administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 5 μg/kg, IV) or an equal volume of placebo (0.9% NaCl, IV). Blood samples, for analysis, were collected at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 24 hours from the time of fluid resuscitation. After a 14-day washout period, the study was repeated such that dogs received the opposite treatment (LPS or placebo) and the same resuscitation fluid. Resuscitation with equal volumes of 0.9% NaCl and tetrastarch caused similar changes in hemodynamic and laboratory variables in dogs with LPS-induced systemic inflammation; however, larger increases in HR and blood pressure were seen within the first 2 hours following tetrastarch administration compared to 0.9% NaCl. Tetrastarch administration increased COP in all dogs, despite a decrease in TS. Tetrastarch bolus administration to dogs with LPS-induced systemic inflammation also resulted in a transient hypocoagulability characterized by a prolonged PTT, decreased clot formation speed and clot strength, and acquired type 1 von Willebrand disease. Considering the limited additional benefit of tetrastarch administration on hemodynamic variables demonstrated, as well as the transient adverse hemostatic effects of tetrastarch administration, the increased cost associated with the use of tetrastarch likely negates its use as a first line treatment during fluid resuscitation in dogs. / Pet Trust Fund

Effects of xylazine, romifidine and detomidine on haematology, serum biochemistry and splenic size in horses

Kullmann, Anne 30 November 2011 (has links)
Alpha 2 agonists are frequently used in equine medicine. This study focused primarily on α2 agonist-induced changes in PCV and TSP. A secondary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of α2 agonist on selected serum biochemical parameters and splenic size in order to identify potential causes for the changes seen in PCV and TSP. Four healthy adult mares were treated in a blinded, randomized, cross-over design with a single dose of xylazine (0.5 mg/kg), romifidine (0.04 mg/kg) or detomidine (0.01 mg/kg) intravenously, or detomidine (0.02 mg/kg) intramuscularly. A 1-week washout period was allowed between treatments. Haematology, TSP, COP, plasma osmolality, glucose, BUN, serum lactate, electrolytes, venous blood pH, ultrasonographic splenic size and degree of clinical sedation were evaluated at different time points post-injection and compared to baseline values. All treatments induced similar clinical sedation in the mares. A significant change over time in PCV and TSP following each treatment was identified, with overall median (range) maximal reductions compared to baseline of 20.9% (12.9 - 27.3%) and 5.8% (3.0 - 10.3%), respectively. Additionally, changes over time were significant for RBC count, BUN, COP and Ca2+, which decreased; and glucose, plasma osmolality, Na+ and splenic size, which increased, when compared to baseline. There was no significant main effect of treatment on PCV, TSP or any other parameters measured except for glucose. This study concluded that changes in PCV, TSP and other biochemical parameters induced by α2 agonists should be taken into consideration when assessing critically ill horses that received these drugs. There was evidence of splenic RBC sequestration as well as fluid shifts; therefore, the results suggest a multifactorial cause for the changes in PCV and TSP. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Companion Animal Clinical Studies / unrestricted
