Abstract:Objective To quantitatively analyze the changes in renal blood perfusion during early resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock
(HS) by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Methods Thirty-two healthy experimental rabbits were randomly divided into
4 groups, 1 group was randomly selected as the normal control group, the other three groups were used to establish the HS model
according to the Wiggers modified method, of them, 1 group was used as the shock group, the remaining 2 groups were divided into 2 h
resuscitation group and 6 h resuscitation group according to the different resuscitation time. CEUS was used to observe the rabbits’
renal perfusion and the perfusion parameters were recorded including amplitude of peak intensity (A), time to peak (TTP), area under
the curve (AUC) and gradient between start frame to peak frame (Grad). The correlation between the above parameters and renal
function and pathological results was analyzed. Results Compared with the normal control group, the TTP of the shock group had
prolonged, the A, AUC and Grad decreased, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), the HS model was successfully
established; Creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) increased, which suggested that kidney function was impaired. In the
2 h resuscitation group, the A , AUC and Grad increased; TTP, BUN and Cr decreased slightly compared with the shock group, the
difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), which indicated that the parameters gradually recovered after fluid resuscitation.
However, compared with the normal control group, TTP, Grad, BUN and Cr were still statistically different (P<0.05). Compared the
6 h resuscitation group with the shock group, all parameters were statistically different (P<0.05), compared with the normal control
group, the parameters were not significantly different, and the correlation between AUC and laboratory indicators (BUN and Cr)
was the highest, which was consistent with the pathological results. Conclusion CEUS can quantitatively analyze the changes in
renal cortex blood perfusion in the early stage of resuscitation from HS. AUC can be used as a sensitive indicator and has a good
correlation with renal function indicators. CEUS can be used as a non-invasive monitoring method.
