Abstract
To compare the effects of Shenfu Injection (SFI) and epinephrine (EPI) on catecholamine levels in a porcine model of prolonged cardiac arrest (CA). After 8 min of untreated ventricular fibrillation, 24 Wuzhishan miniature pigs were randomly assigned to one of the three groups (n=8 per group) and received central venous injection, respectively: SFI group (1 mL/kg), EPI group (20 μg/kg EPI), and normal saline (NS) group. Cardiac output (CO), maximum rate of increase/decrease in left ventricular pressure (±dp/dt), serum levels of EPI, norepinephrine (NE), and dopamine (DA) were determined at baseline and at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h after restoration of spontaneous circulation. The duration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation was shorter in the EPI and SFI groups than in the NS group (P<0.05). The EPI level increased significantly after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in all three groups, and was significantly different between the EPI group and the other two groups immediately after ROSC (both P<0.01), but these differences gradually disappeared over time. There were no significant differences in NE or DA levels among the three groups, and there were no correlations between catecholamine levels and CO or dp/dt (P>0.05). SFI d...Continue Reading
