HEMODYNAMIC DISTURBANCES DURING ACUTE EXPERIMENTAL HEMORRHAGIC-PANCREATITIS IN CONSCIOUS RATS

The aim of the present study was to determine the hemodynamic effect of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis in conscious rats. For this purpose, radiactive microspheres were used in 3 groups: control (n = 5); 25 min pancreatitis (n = 10); 50 min pancreatitis ( n = 10), performing a basal and final (25 or 50 minutes postpancreatitis) hemodynamic study. Acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis was induced in 25 min and 50 min pancreatitis groups overwhelming shock with decrease of 55% in cardiac output, 58% in renal blood flow while total peripheral resistances increased in 342%. No changes were registered the in control group.
