摘要
It is known that hypothermia can improve outcome when induced during ischemia. We evaluated whether hypothermia can decrease ischemic injury if it is induced after incomplete ischemia. Rats were anesthetized with 1.4% inspired isoflurane, and ischemia was produced by right carotid ligation combined with hemorrhagic hypotension to 30 mm Hg for 30 min. Hypothermia (31-degrees-C) was induced or normothermia (37-degrees-C) was maintained for 1 h after completion of the ischemic challenge. Isoflurane anesthesia was maintained during this period. Five of 15 normothermic rats and 3 of 15 hypothermic rats died of stroke after ischemia. For all rats tested, hypothermic-treated animals had a significantly better neurologic outcome than normothermic rats (p < 0.05). Histopathology showed a correlation of r = 0.67 (p < 0.05) with neurologic outcome, and neuronal damage was significantly worse in normothermic compared with hypothermic rats (p < 0.05). These results show that post-ischemic hypothermia will decrease neuronal injury and improve neurologic outcome associated with incomplete ischemia.
