Abstract:
Objective Objectives To investigate the gender difference affecting the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the mouse cardiac arrest (CA) model.Methods CA was induced in 30 Kunming mice (15 male and 15 female) by trans-oesophageal cardiac pacing for 4 minutes.Epinephrine was then administrated intra-artery,and CPR was performed.The time required for restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was observed,but if ROSC failed to appear at 10 minutes after CPR,resuscitation was discontinued.Blood pressure and electrocardiograms of resuscitated animals were invasively monitored for an additional 60 minutes.Blood pressure,heart rate,the restoration of spontaneous respiration (ROSR) and survival time were observed and recorded.Results All 15 female mice and 14 of 15 male mice had ROSC.There were no significant differences in the time required for ROSC,ROSR,and survival between the two groups [(50±17)svs.(46±12)s; (2.4±1)minvs.(2.5±1)min; 28 (1,72)h vs.16 (3,72)h,P ＞ 0.05)].Moreover,neither blood pressure nor heart rate showed significant differences one hour after ROSC between the two groups.Conclusions Sex differences did not affect the efficacy of CPR,but the precise mechanism is still unclear,and further investigations are required.
