Abstract | OBJECTIVE: DESIGN: Experimental, prospective study. SETTING: Medical center research laboratory. SUBJECTS: Sprague Dawley male rats. INTERVENTIONS: Series 1: femur fracture was induced in anesthetized rats, followed by pressure-controlled hemorrhage (40 mm Hg for 20 minutes) and resuscitation. Groups: 1) no therapy; 2) 15 mL/kg hetastarch; and 3) 3 mg/kg benzamide, N-(aminoiminomethyl)-4-[4-(2-furanylcarbonyl)-1-piperazinyl]-3-(methylsulfonyl), methanesulfonate (BIIB513) (NHE-1 inhibitor) + 15 mL/kg hetastarch infusion over 40 minutes. The experiment was terminated at 6 hours after resuscitation. Series 2: the rats received laparotomy and closure under anesthesia and subsequently remained conscious for the rest of the study. The rats were subjected to volume-controlled hemorrhage (2.5 mL/100 g) followed by resuscitation as described in series 1. The experiment was terminated at 24 hours after resuscitation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: NHE-1 inhibition facilitated the hemodynamic response to fluid resuscitation, attenuated tissue inflammatory injury, and organ dysfunction, but most importantly improved survival.
