BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of small volume resuscitation with 7.5% hypertonic sodium chloride (HSS), hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 solution (HES), and hypertonic sodium chloride hydroxyethyl starch 40 injection (HSH) on endotoxin shock rat lung.
METHODS
Thirty Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided randomly into 5 groups ，Group C (negative control group), Group E (lipopolysaccharide, LPS +4 ml/kg saline), Group HSS (LPS +4 ml/kg HSS), Group HES (LPS +4 ml/kg HES) and Group HSH (LPS +4 ml/kg HSH). Endotoxin shock model of rat was produced by injection with LPS. Then small volume resuscitation with different fluids was implemented in each group, respectively.
RESULTS
Compared to Group C(negative control group）, lung injury in the other four groups was increased. Compared to Group E(LPS +4 ml/kg normal saline), lung injury of Group HSS(LPS +4 ml/kg HSS), HES(LPS +4 ml/kg HES), and HSH (LPS +4 ml/kg HSH)was lessened. Compared to Group C, oxygenation index in Groups E, HSS, HES, and HSH were decreased (P < 0.01). Compared to Group E, oxygenation indexes in Groups HSS, HES, and HSH were significantly increased (P < 0.01). Data of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α of lung tissue had similar results. However, protein concentration of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) concentration indicated contrary results.
CONCLUSIONS
Small volume resuscitation with 7.5% hypertonic sodium chloride, hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 solution, and hypertonic sodium chloride hydroxyethyl starch 40 injection could lessen lung injury caused by lipopolysaccharide. And this effect had relation to change of TNF-α and H(2)S.
