[Prevention of phenylephrine-induced acute experimental pulmonary edema in the rat using furosemide].
The intravenous, intraperitoneal or oral administration of furosemide before intravenous infusion of phenylephrin protects rats, the highest doses and the longest the time between administration of the diuretic drug and the beginning of injection, inducing the best protection. The diuretic effects of furosemide do not seem to be the only ones involved because rehydrated animals by isotonic saline solution are still protected. Moreover other diuretic drugs as acetazolamide are useless and on the other hand ethacrynic acid, without any diuretic activity in the Rat, can protect that animal from the edematous effects of phenylephrin.
