- The effect of intraportal infusion of norepinephrine (NE) on primary hemostasis in the cirrhotic rat was investigated at standardized liver trauma. Cirrhosis was induced by simultaneous administration of increasing amounts of carbontetrachloride (CCl4) and phenobarbitone. Infusion of norepinephrine took place after cannulation of the gastroduodenal vein. Intraportal infusion of NE resulted in a significant increase in arterial blood pressure and portal pressure in all animals. No difference was observed between cirrhotic and control rats. Cirrhotic animals bled longer and more profusely as compared with the controls. Infusion of NE resulted in significant decrease in bleeding time and blood loss. NE did not affect hematocrit, hemoglobin, platelet, or white cell count. Platelet aggregation was not influenced by the compound. In conclusion, intraportal infusion of NE proved effective in decreasing hemorrhage at liver trauma in cirrhotic rats.

- The effect of the simultaneous administration of norepinephrine and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the uptake of radiolabelled 5-FU by liver tumours was studied in rats. Three different concentrations of 5-FU were used (15, 1.5 and 0.15 microgram/g body weight). The drugs were infused over a 30 min period via the hepatic artery, following cannulation of the gastroduodenal artery. The radioactivity in liver tumour, normal liver, lungs and intestines was estimated by liquid scintillation counting. At all concentrations tested, an increased uptake of radioactive 5-FU was found in the tumour when norepinephrine was infused. Tumour/liver ratios also increased significantly in all these cases. No significant differences were noted between norepinephrine infused and control animals in the radioactivity in normal liver, lungs and intestines. The effects noted were possibly due to changes in blood flow within the liver, but the possibility of a direct effect of norepinephrine on DNA metabolism is discussed.

Arrest of haemorrhage at experimental liver trauma by intra-portal infusion of nor-epinephrine

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The efficacy of intraportal (i.p.) nor-epinephrine infusion in controlling bleeding upon liver trauma in the presence of normal as well as defective platelet function was evaluated in the rat. Infusion of nor-epinephrine (10-4 M, NE) took place after cannulation of the gastro-duodenal vein, during 5 min prior to liver trauma. Simultaneously blood pressure (BP) was registered. Platelet aggregation was rendered defective by per os administration of acetyl-salicylic acid (2.5 mg/100 g bW ASA) 30 min prior to liver trauma. Liver trauma constituted of a standardized liver resection involving 2-3 per cent of the total liver weight, bleeding time and blood loss from the wound being registered. Haemoglobin (Hb), Haematocrit (Hct), platelet count (PC), APT-time and platelet aggregation were studied upon resection. I.p. infusion of NE resulted in significant increase of BP from 122.5 3.2 mm Hg in controls to 166.2 ± 3.2 mm Hg. NE infusion significantly decreased bleeding time at liver trauma from 270 ± 15 sec in controls to 154 ± 10 sec. Simultaneously blood-loss was decreased from 0.9 ± 0.1 g to 0.4 ± 0.1 gr. Administration of ASA increased bleeding time to 513 ± 17 sec and blood loss to 2.1 ± 0.1 gr. Infusion of NE in ASA pretreated rats reduced bleeding time to 253 ± 24 sec and blood loss to 1.1 ± 0.2 gr compared with animals receiving only ASA. Hb, Hct, PC and APT-time were not affected. Platelet aggregation was diminished after administration of ASA, but was not affected by NE.

The effects of pneumatic antishock garments in the treatment of critical abdominal injuries in rats

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Thirty rats were subjected to a standardized critical aortic injury and divided into six groups. In addition to controls, the animals were treated with a pneumatic antishock garment (PASG), massive intravenous or intra-aortic saline infusion, or PASG in combination with either massive intravenous or intra-aortic saline infusion. Twenty-six rats were subjected to a standardized hepatic injury and divided into four groups. In addition to controls, the animals were treated with PASG, massive intravenous saline infusion, or PASG in combination with massive intravenous saline infusion. These animals were allowed to bleed for 5 minutes before the treatment was started. The treatment with PASG alone prolonged the median survival time significantly from 7 min in the control group to greater than 120 min in the PASG group in rats with an aortic injury and from 33 to greater than 120 min in rats with a hepatic injury. Intravenous infusion of saline did not prolong the median survival time. Intravenous infusion in combination with PASG did not have any positive effects on median survival time or median mean aortic pressure and failed to prolong the median survival time significantly in rats with a liver injury, as six out of eight animals developed a lethal pulmonary edema.

Implantable drainage after major abdominal surgery in compromised patients

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The risk of superinfection following routine abdominal drainage after major surgery is debated. Especially in patients with malignant diseases and a compromised host defense, this might be a factor increasing morbidity and mortality. During a 3-year period (1986-1988) 41 patients operated on for malignant abdominal conditions received a peritoneal catheter connected to a subcutaneous portal inserted in order to participate in a trial on postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy using 5-Fluorouracil. No abdominal drains were inserted. In 15 patients, the subcutaneous portal was used for evacuation of postoperative fluid accumulation within the abdomen. The mean age was 53 (range 41-70) years. Inserted catheters were used for drainage up to 14 days postoperatively. The daily amount of fluid drained varied from 20 to 2,000 ml with a mean of 610 ml/patient and day. One patient required removal of the catheter due to infection around the subcutaneous chamber. Otherwise, the catheter system was not associated with any other complications or complaints. One patient developed a postoperative left subphrenic abscess drained percutaneously by the guidance of ultrasonography, a complication that could not be attributed to the catheter system but merely to the major operation per se. An implantable device for peritoneal access thus also seem useful for drainage of postoperative fluid collection, as evaluated in this preliminary report.
