ABSTRACT
Introduction: Mongrel dog is a good animal model used in experimental thoracic surgery research according to some important features such as genetic variability and the size of its anatomic structures. Objective: To report results of blood gases and acid-base balance obtained from 50 mongrel adults dogs used for thoraco-abdominal surgery research made in both experimental surgery departments from Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Respiratorias (INER) and Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición “Salvador Zubirán” (INCMNSZ). Material and methods: Dogs were assessed immediately after intubation with an FIO2 of 1, a tidal volume of 15 mL/kg and a respiratory rate of 20 breaths/min; two catheters were inserted into the femoral artery and femoral vein. Anesthesia was supported with 1% halothane. The assessed parameters were: PaO2, femoral PvO2, PaCO2, femoral PvCO2, pHa, femoral pHv, SaO2, femoral SvO2, CaO2, femoral CvO2, HCO3-a, femoral HCO3-v, CO2Ta, femoral CO2Ta and femoral DavPO2. Results: Mean results ± SD were: PaO2 (349.6 ±63.12mmHg), femoral PvO2 (45.7±10.86 mmHg), PaCO2 (22.2±4.48mmHg), femoral PvCO2 (28.7±5.52mmHg), pHa (7.5±0.06), femoral pHv (7.4±0.06), SaO2 (99.9±0.05%), femoral SvO2 (77±12.52%), CaO2 (21.8±0.29 Vol%), femoral CvO2 (16.1±2.63 Vol%), HCO3-a (15.45±2.31 mmol/L), femoral HCO3-v (16.85±2.09 mmol/L), CO2Ta (16.58±5.72 mmol/L), femoral CO2Ta (17.64±2.14mmol/L) and femoral DavPO2 (14.60 ±14.88mmHg). Conclusions: These results are useful as a reference for researchers that use this experimental model, for our departments of experimental surgery research and for those researchers involved in dog pulmonary physiology.REFERENCES
