Abstract

Abstract Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion injury is one of the consequences of tourniquet application for extremity surgery. The aim of the study was to establish the effect of dexmedetomidine on the acute lung injury following lower extremity experimental ischemia-reperfusion model in rats. Methods: Twenty-eight Wistar-Albino breed Rats were recruited after Ethics Committee approval and allocated into 4 groups, each with 7 subjects. Group 1 (SHAM) received only anesthesia. Group 2 (IR) had experienced 3 h of ischemia and 3 h of reperfusion using left lower extremity tourniquet after anesthesia application. Groups 3 (D-50) and 4 (D-100) had undergone the same procedures as in the Group 2, except for receiving 50 and 100 mg·kg-1, respectively, dexmedetomidine intraperitoneally 1 h before the tourniquet release. Blood samples were obtained for the analysis of tumor necrosing factor-α and interleukin-6. Pulmonary tissue samples were obtained for histological analysis. Results: No significant difference regarding blood tumor necrosing factor-α and interleukin-6 values was found among the groups, whereas pulmonary tissue injury scores revealed significant difference. Histological scores obtained from the Group 2 were significantly higher from those in the Groups 1, 3 and 4 with p-values 0.001 for each comparison. Moreover, Group 1 scores were found to be significantly lower than those in the Groups 3 and 4 with p-values 0.001 and 0.011, respectively. No significant difference was observed between the Groups 3 and 4. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine is effective in reduction of the experimental ischemia-reperfusion induced pulmonary tissue injury in rats, formed by extremity tourniquet application.

Resumo

Resumo Objetivo: A lesão de isquemia-reperfusão é uma das consequências da aplicação do torniquete em cirurgias de extremidades. O objetivo do estudo foi determinar o efeito de dexmedetomidina em lesão pulmonar aguda após modelo experimental de isquemia-reperfusão em extremidade inferior de ratos. Métodos: Vinte e oito ratos albinos Wistar foram recrutados após aprovação do Comitê de Ética e alocados em quatro grupos, cada um com sete indivíduos. O Grupo 1 (Sham) recebeu apenas anestesia. O Grupo 2 (IR) foi submetido a 3 horas de isquemia e 3 horas de reperfusão com o uso de torniquete em extremidade inferior após a aplicação da anestesia. Os grupos 3 (D-50) e 4 (D-100) foram submetidos aos mesmos procedimentos do Grupo 2, exceto por receberem 50 e 100 mg.kg-1 de dexmedetomidina, respectivamente, por via intraperitoneal uma hora antes da liberação do torniquete. Amostras de sangue foram coletadas para análise de TNF-α e Interleucina-6 (IL-6). Amostras de tecido pulmonar foram coletadas para análise histológica. Resultados: Não houve diferença significativa quanto aos valores sanguíneos de TNF-α e IL-6 entre os grupos, enquanto os escores de lesão em tecidos pulmonares revelaram diferença significativa. Os escores histológicos obtidos no Grupo 2 foram significativamente maiores do que os dos grupos 1, 3 e 4, com valores-p de 0,001 para cada comparação. Além disso, os escores do Grupo 1 foram significativamente menores do que os dos grupos 3 e 4, com valores-p de 0,001 e 0,011, respectivamente. Não houve diferença significativa entre os grupos 3 e 4. Conclusão: Dexmedetomidina mostrou eficácia na redução de lesão em tecido pulmonar induzida por isquemia-reperfusão experimental em ratos, ocasionada por aplicação de torniquete em extremidade.
