Hemodynamic evaluation of ibuprofen in canine hypovolemic shock.
This study was done to evaluate the role of ibuprofen, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, in a standard model of hypovolemic shock. Fifteen dogs were subjected to fixed mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) shock (40-45 mmHg) for 45 min and then treated with physiologic saline (NS), low-dose ibuprofen (6.25 mg/kg), and high-dose ibuprofen (12.5 mg/kg) by IV bolus and continuous IV infusion. After 60 min of treatment, the shed blood was returned. Survival was monitored for 72 h. Both dose levels resulted in a significant increase in MABP and total peripheral resistance over NS during the infusion period but heart rate, cardiac output, and left ventricular contractility were similar for all groups. Survival at 72 h was also similar for the three groups. Ibuprofen treatment, while increasing MABP and total peripheral vascular resistance did not seem to alter cardiac function or improve survival when compared to NS in this model of hypovolemic shock.
