A porcine model of peritonitis and bacteremia simulates human septic shock

Shock

Abstract

Cardiovascular responses to systemic bacteremia were evaluated in a pre-instrumented, conscious pigs. Basal observations were obtained 5-7 days after instrumentation. On the next day, Escherichia coli 0111.B4 (1.1 to 33 x 10(9) CFU/kg)-laden fibrin clots were implanted intraperitoneally. Nonsurvivors (9/18) demonstrated rapid cardiovascular decompensation. Survivors (9/18) demonstrated significant cardiovascular injury, which was reversed by 5-7 days postimplant. Cardiac inotropicity was significantly reduced in this period, but recovered by day 7. Circulating myocardial depressant substance activity (assayed by serum-induced depression of beating neonatal rat myocytes) was present on days 1-4 of bacteremia and recovered to basal values on day 6. No clinical or cardiovascular changes were seen in pigs implanted with sterile clots (n = 4). These data demonstrate that implantation of bacteria-laden fibrin clots in pigs induces cardiovascular alterations that mimic responses seen in human sepsis.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
