ObjectiveTo compare hemodynamic effects of resuscitation with Parkland formula or with the improved protocol on projectile-burn combined wound in dogs with seawater immersion.MethodsA model of projectile-burn combined wound in dogs with seawater immersion was reproduced, and 20 dogs were randomized into three groups: projectile-burn combined wound with seawater immersion (immersion group, n=8), Parkland formula resuscitation (lactated Ringer's solution 4 ml/kg per 1%total body surface area for 24 hours, standard resuscitation group, n=6), and improved protocol groups (lactated Ringer's solution 2.5 ml/kg per 1% total body surface area colloid solution 6% hetastarch 0.5 ml/kg per 1% total body surface area for 24 hours, improved group, n=6). Changes of hemodynamics and central temperature (CT) before injury, and 4, 7, 10, 20 and 28 hours after injury were observed. The mortality was observed.ResultsAfter resuscitation with Parkland formula, CT as well as hemodynamic indexes and amount of urine were improved, but central venous pressure (CVP) and the amount of urine were higher in early period of resuscitation. CVP was (14.7+/-3.1)cm H2O and the amount of urine was (2.38+/-0.18)ml.h(-1).kg(-1) at 7 hours after injury. Hemodynamics was not stable during later period of experiment. After resuscitation with the improved protocol, the hemodynamics ameliorated better than resuscitation with Parkland formula. No animals died in improved group, but 4 and 1 died respectively in immersion group and standard resuscitation group.ConclusionFluid resuscitation according to the improved protocol is more suitable for projectile-burn combined wound in dogs with seawater immersion than resuscitation with Parkland formula.
