Abstract
Background:
Hypovolemic shock is a common disease in polytrauma patients and may develop
ischemia in various organs, increasing morbidity and mortality. The bowel is
usually most affected by this condition.
Aim:
To evaluate the effects of copaiba oil on the intestinal mucosa’s injury of
rats submitted to hypovolemic shock.
Method:
Fifteen rats were divided into three groups: sham - simulated surgery;
ischemia - animals submitted to hypovolemic shock; and copaiba - animals
submitted to hypovolemic shock previously treated with copaiba oil. Mean
blood pressure, arterial blood gas after shock induction, degree of
intestinal lesion and villus length were evaluated.
Results:
The sham presented the lowest values of lactate and PaCO2 and the
highest values of mean arterial pressure, pH and bicarbonate in relation to
the other groups. The degree of mesenteric lesion was zero in the sham
group; 3.00±1.00 in the ischemia group; and 3.00±0.71 in the copaiba group.
The villus length was 173.60±8.42 in the sham, 142.77±8.33 in the ischemia
and 143.01±9.57 in the copaiba group. There was a significant difference
between the sham and the other groups (p<0.05); however, there not
significant difference between groups Ischemia and copaiba.
Conclusion:
Administration of copaiba oil did not reduce the intestinal mucosa lesion of
rats after hypovolemic shock.
