[Effects of anisodamine on microcirculation of the asystole rats during the cardiopulmonary resuscitation].
OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of anisodamine (Ani) on microcirculation and reperfusion volume of intestine wall in Wistar rats during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for cardiac arrest (CA).


METHODS
Healthy Wistar rats subjected to CA and resuscitation were randomly divided into four groups, 15 rats in each group. After a 4-minute-non-intervention interval, CPR was started. After CPR for 4 minutes the animals in control group received normal saline, group epinephrine (Epi) received Epi (bolus dose of 200 microg/kg), Epi plus low dosage Ani (Ld Ani) group received Epi plus Ani (bolus dose of 200 microg/kg Epi followed by Ani of 5 mg/kg), and Epi plus high dosage Ani (Hd Ani) group received Epi plus Ani (bolus dose of 200 microg/kg Epi followed by Ani of 10 mg/kg). The recanalization rate of mesenteric arterioles and venules, caliber of the recanalized mesentery arteriole and venule, and the reperfusion volume of intestine wall were observed in vivo in rats with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).


RESULTS
As the rate of recanalization of mesenteric arterioles and venules was compared, group Hd Ani (66.6%, 60.0%)>group Ld Ani (60.0%, 53.3%)>group control (40.0%, 40.0%)>group Epi (26.7%, 20.0%), and group Ld Ani and group Hd Ani was much better than group Epi(all P<0.05). When the caliber of arterioles and venules was compared, group Hd Ani>group Ld Ani>group control>group Epi 30 minutes and 60 minutes after ROSC. Thirty minutes after ROSC, the caliber of arterioles and venules was much larger in group Ld Ani and group Hd Ani than that in group Epi (all P<0.05). Sixty minutes after ROSC, there was no statistical difference in the caliber of venules between group Ld Ani and group Epi, so as between group Ld Ani and group Hd Ani. Reperfusion volume of intestine wall in group Ld Ani and group Hd Ani was higher than that in groups control and Epi 15 minutes after ROSC, and it kept on to be better up to 60 minutes after ROSC.


CONCLUSIONS
Administration of Ani at earlier period of resuscitation could improve microcirculation of the tissue and raise ROSC rate and successful rate of resuscitation.
