Study Notes
Experimental Pulmonary Edema in Rabbits
- The study aims to replicate experimental pulmonary edema in rabbits and understand its manifestations and underlying mechanisms.
- Edema is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in tissue spaces or body cavities.
Purpose and Principle
- The purpose is to understand the method for replicating experimental pulmonary edema and the mechanisms of edema.
Four Factors Affecting Fluid Exchange
- Capillary hydrostatic pressure (↑)
- Plasma colloid osmotic pressure (↓)
- Microvascular permeability (↑)
- Lymphatic drainage obstruction
Effective Filtration Pressure
- Effective filtration pressure = (capillary filtration pressure + tissue colloidal osmotic pressure) – (tissue hydrostatic pressure + capillary colloidal osmotic pressure)
- This pressure impacts fluid movement between capillaries and tissue.
Imbalance of Fluid Exchange (Intra/Extracellular)
- Imbalance occurs when the normal exchange between intra and extracellular fluids is disrupted.
GFR and Reabsorption
- Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) fluctuations affect reabsorption.
- Abnormal GFR leads to changes in urine output and reabsorption, impacting fluid balance.
- Changes can impact the glomerulotubular balance which can affect urine production rates.
Pulmonary Edema
- Pulmonary edema involves fluid accumulation in the lung tissue.
- Fluid builds up in lung tissue causing various physiological problems.
Methods and Procedures
- Procedures include inducing massive and rapid fluid accumulation in the marginal ear vein.
- Blood pressure elevation procedures are a key part of the experimental methods and procedures, influencing the induced edema.
Measurement and Observation
- Includes observing corneal reflection and muscle tension, using a stethoscope placed on the chest to measure internal sounds, and measuring rate via a specific time-scale.
Data Collection
- Size, weight, colour, and edge details of the lungs.
Questions
- The document contains questions but the questions are not discernible (or provided) to answer.
