[An experimental study on the delayed resuscitation of dogs with burn shock].

OBJECTIVE

To explore the effects of delayed resuscitation on burn shock with ringer's solution.

METHODS

Twelve mongrel dogs were randomly divided into control (S, n = 6) and treatment (LR, n = 6) groups. The dogs in LR group were inflicted by 35% TBSA III degree burn and were resuscitated with Lactate Ringer's solution. Urine output in amount of 1 ml.kg-1.h-1, and cardiac output at level of 70% approximately 80% of pre-burn level were referred for the modulation of the speed and amount of fluid infusion. The postburn changes of volumetric load, mean arterial pressure (MAP), LVSP +/- dp/dtmax, CI, DO2 and VO2 during the first 24 hours of resuscitation were observed.

RESULTS

The infusion amount of LR solution was 8.87 +/- 1.02 ml/kg per 1% TBSA during the first 24 hours of resuscitation, which was 1.2 times more than that with Parkland formula. Furthermore, the infusion fluid amount within the first 4 hours of resuscitation was (3.63 +/- 0.99) ml.kg(-1).1% TBSA-1, which was 41% of total amount within the first 24 hours. MAP, LVSP, +/- dp/dtmax, CI, DO2 and VO2 reached or approached the levels in S group within 2 hours of resuscitation.

CONCLUSION

The infusion amount of Lactate Ringer's solution needed in delayed resuscitation was larger than that in early resuscitation. And the indices of hemodynamics and myocardial mechanics were improved obviously within 2 hours of resuscitation.
