- Sildenafil in endotoxin-induced pulmonary hypertension: an experimental study(2023) KEMPER, Daniella Aparecida Godoi; OTSUKI, Denise Aya; MAIA, Debora Rothstein Ramos; MOSSOCO, Cristina de Oliveira; MARCASSO, Rogerio Anderson; CUNHA, Ligia Cristina Camara; JR, Jose Otavio Costa Auler; FANTONI, Denise TabacchiBackground: Sepsis and septic shock still represent great challenges in critical care medicine. Sildenafil has been largely used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, but its effects in sepsis are unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that sildenafil can attenuate endotoxin-induced pulmonary hypertension in a porcine model of endotoxemia. Methods: Twenty pigs were randomly assigned to Control group (n = 10), which received saline solution; or to Sildenafil group (n = 10), which received sildenafil orally (100 mg). After 30 min-utes, both groups were submitted to endotoxemia with intravenous bacterial lipopolysaccharide endotoxin (LPS) infusion (4 & mu;g.kg-1.h-1) for 180 minutes. We evaluated hemodynamic and oxy-genation functions, and also lung histology and plasma cytokine (TNFa, IL-1(3, IL6, and IL10) and troponin I response. Results: Significant hemodynamic alterations were observed after 30 minutes of LPS contin-uous infusion, mainly in pulmonary arterial pressure (from Baseline 19 & PLUSMN; 2 mmHg to LPS30 52 & PLUSMN; 4 mmHg, p < 0.05). There was also a significant decrease in PaO2/FiO2 (from Baseline 411 & PLUSMN; 29 to LPS180 334 & PLUSMN; 49, p < 0.05). Pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly lower in the Sildenafil group (35 & PLUSMN; 4 mmHg at LPS30, p < 0.05). The Sildenafil group also presented lower values of systemic arterial pressure. Sildenafil maintained oxygenation with higher PaO2/FiO2 and lower oxygen extraction rate than Control group but had no effect on intrapulmonary shunt. All cytokines and troponin increased after LPS infusion in both groups similarly.Conclusion: Sildenafil attenuated endotoxin-induced pulmonary hypertension preserving the correct heart function without improving lung lesions or inflammation.& COPY; 2021 Published by Elsevier Editora Ltda. on behalf of Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia.

- Methylene blue as an adjuvant during cardiopulmonary resuscitation: an experimental study in rats(2024) XAVIER, Marcelo Souza; OLIVEIRA, Cristiano C.; OTSUKI, Denise Aya; VANE, Matheus F.; VIEIRA, Roberta F.; MAIA, Debora R. R.; CASTRO, Leticia U. C. de; CARMONA, Maria Jose Carvalho; JR, Jose Otavio Costa AulerIntroduction: Methylene Blue (MB) has been shown to attenuate oxidative, in flammatory, myocardial, and neurological lesions during ischemia-reperfusion and has great potential during cardiac arrest. This study aimed to determine the effects of MB combined with epinephrine during cardiac arrest on myocardial and cerebral lesions. Method: Thirty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups: the sham group (SH, n = 5), and three groups subjected to cardiac arrest (n = 11/group) and treated with EPI 20 mg.kg (- 1) (EPI), EPI 20 mg.kg - 1 + MB 2 mg.kg(- 1) (EPI + MB), or saline 0.9% 0.2 ml (CTL). Ventricular fibrillation was induced by direct electrical stimulation in the right ventricle for 3 minutes, and anoxia was maintained for 5 minutes. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) consisted of medications, ventilation, chest compressions, and de fibrillation. After returning to spontaneous circulation, animals were observed for four hours. Blood gas, troponin, oxidative stress, histology, and TUNEL staining measurements were analyzed. Groups were compared using generalized estimating equations. Results: No differences in the Returning of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC) rate were observed among the groups (EPI: 63%, EPI + MB: 45%, CTL: 40%, p = 0.672). The mean arterial pressure immediately after ROSC was higher in the EPI+MB group than in the CTRL group (CTL: 30.5 [5.8], EPI: 63 [25.5], EPI+MB: 123 [31] mmHg, p = 0.007). Serum troponin levels were high in the CTL group (CTL: 130.1 [333.8], EPI: 3.70 [36.0], EPI + MB: 43.7 [116.31] ng/mL, p < 0.05). Conclusion: The coadministration of MB and epinephrine failed to yield enhancements in cardiac or brain lesions in a rodent model of cardiac arrest. (c) 2023 Sociedade Brasileira de Anestesiologia.
