Abstract:
Objective:The study was aimed to inverstigate the effects of different levels of pressure and dura-tion of carbon dioxide and saline in the neck of rabbits on metabolic, hemodynamic, serum sodium concentrations and hematocrit changes. Method:Twenty-one New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 7 groups according to the following pressure of CO_2 or saline:0 kPa, 0. 67 kPa CO_2, 1.33 kPa CO_2,2.00 kPa CO_2 , 0.67 kPa saline, 1.33 kPa saline, and 2.00 kPa saline. In order to make a space for the endoscopic thyroidectomy, we filled the neck of rabbits with carbon dioxide and saline . Arterial partial pressure of CO_2(PaCO_2), pH, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) , central venous pressure (CVP), serum sodium concentration and hematocrit were measured at baseline, 45 min and 90 min after filling with gas or saline and 30 tnin post-filling. Result:Insufflation of CO_2 at 0.67 kPa did not have any significant effect on the parameters. PaCO_2 increased significantly 45 min and 90 min after insufflation of 1.33 kPa CO_2(P<0.01). Marked changes in PaCO_2, pH and CVP occurred 45 min and 90 min after insufflation of 2.00 kPa CO_2 (P<0.01), and the parameters did not return to baseline in 30min after desufflation(P<0.05). In animals receiving saline irrigation no significant changes occurred in PaCO_2, pH and serum sodium concentrations at any time point. There was a tendency of decrease in HCT, but no statistically significant changes were found (P>0.05). CVP increased significantly 90min after saline irrigation at 1.33 kPa(P <0.05). A significant increase in CVP occurred 45 min and 90 min after saline irrigation at 2.00 kPa(P<0.05). No significant changes in HR and MAP occurred in all animals. Conclusion: Filling with saline which does not cause hypercapnia, acidosis or dilutional hyponatremia can be used in endoscopic neck surgery to create and maintain a working space.
