Abstract
Objectives
Autologous blood transfusion techniques are well applied in surgery, but the red blood cells (RBCs) collected during laparoscopic surgery may forfeit their ability to oxygenate. O3 is a potent oxidation gas. This study investigates whether O3 could improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of RBCs, reduce inflammatory reactions, and offer organ protection.
Methods
We established a hemorrhagic shock model in rabbits, and simulated CO2 pneumoperitoneum and O3 were applied before autologous blood transfusion. Perioperative mean arterial pressure and arterial blood gas were recorded, blood gas and RBC morphology of collected blood were analyzed, plasma IL-6, ALT, AST, CRE, and lung histopathology POD0 and POD3 were tested, as well as postoperative survival quality.
Results
Autologous blood that underwent simulated CO2 pneumoperitoneum had a lower pH and SaO2 and a higher PaCO2 than the control group. After O3 treatment, PaO2 and SaO2 increased significantly, with unchanged pH values and PaCO2. RBCs in autologous blood were drastically deformed after CO2 conditioning and then reversed to normal by O3 treatment. Rabbits that received CO2-conditioned autologous blood had a compromised survival quality after surgery, higher plasma IL-6 levels, higher lung injury scores on POD0, higher ALT and AST levels on POD3, and O3 treatment alleviated these adverse outcomes.
Conclusion
O3 can restore RBC function, significantly improve blood oxygenation under simulated CO2 pneumoperitoneum, offer organ protection, and improve the postoperative survival quality in the rabbit hemorrhage shock model.
