Abstract
Hemorrhage is a common and significant complication of trauma or surgical procedures. Rapid and accurate assessment of a patient's condition during hemorrhage is crucial for management. The primary objective was to describe pupillometry parameters and parasympathetic tone activity (PTA) during hemorrhage. The secondary objective was to develop a model to predict blood losses.
In this preclinical study, 15 pigs were used. After anesthesia, 35 mL/kg of blood was removed over 1 h. Hypovolemia was maintained for 90 min. Indirect assessment of autonomic nervous system balance was based on the monitoring of heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), shock index (SI), PTA and pupil diameter (PD). PD and the pupillary light reflex (PLR) were measured using a portable pupillometer.
HR and SI significantly increased during hemorrhage, whereas BP decreased. PD increased significantly during hemorrhage (+0.03 mm/min, [0.01; 0.04]; then +0.01 mm/min, [0.01; 0.02]) and the hypovolemia period (+0.004 mm/min, [0.002; 0.005]). PLRs were absent in 251/254 measurements. Large variations in PTA parameters were observed over time, which prevented statistical analysis. The best models predicted blood losses with a mean absolute error ranging from 3.61 to 3.67 mL/kg.
In conclusion, hemorrhage was associated with an increased PD potentially influenced by anesthesia. The selected models allowed reasonable prediction of blood losses with a slight tendency to overestimate. The study provides proof of concept for the use of this kind of models to predict blood losses. The results must be confirmed in other contexts: with different species, other anesthetic protocols, or different surgical procedures.
期刊介绍:
Research in Veterinary Science is an International multi-disciplinary journal publishing original articles, reviews and short communications of a high scientific and ethical standard in all aspects of veterinary and biomedical research.
The primary aim of the journal is to inform veterinary and biomedical scientists of significant advances in veterinary and related research through prompt publication and dissemination. Secondly, the journal aims to provide a general multi-disciplinary forum for discussion and debate of news and issues concerning veterinary science. Thirdly, to promote the dissemination of knowledge to a broader range of professions, globally.
High quality papers on all species of animals are considered, particularly those considered to be of high scientific importance and originality, and with interdisciplinary interest. The journal encourages papers providing results that have clear implications for understanding disease pathogenesis and for the development of control measures or treatments, as well as those dealing with a comparative biomedical approach, which represents a substantial improvement to animal and human health.
Studies without a robust scientific hypothesis or that are preliminary, or of weak originality, as well as negative results, are not appropriate for the journal. Furthermore, observational approaches, case studies or field reports lacking an advancement in general knowledge do not fall within the scope of the journal.
