Clinical study of intramedullary route as an alternative for fluid administration in young dogs

Intramedullary infusion technique was evaluated in 31 dogs less than three months of age, weighing 920 to 3,385 grams and showing no clinical signs of disease. They were randomly divided into group 1 (G1) and group 2 (G2) of 15 and 16 dogs, respectively. G1 received 0.9% NaCI solution and G2 receive...

Zusammenfassung:Intramedullary infusion technique was evaluated in 31 dogs less than three months of age, weighing 920 to 3,385 grams and showing no clinical signs of disease. They were randomly divided into group 1 (G1) and group 2 (G2) of 15 and 16 dogs, respectively. G1 received 0.9% NaCI solution and G2 received whole blood. The time necessary to perform intramedullary needle placement, maximum intramedullary infusion rate and any other event observed during the infusion period were recorded. The dogs were clinically evaluated on a daily basis during 30 days and radiographies were taken on days 15 and 30 after the procedure. Intramedullary infusion technique was easily accomplished and rapidly performed. Our results show that intramedullary route is safe and may be of great value as an alternative on the treatment of young dogs with critical hemodynamic alterations when the intravenous route is not accessible. 0 uso da via intramedular foi avaliado em 31 cães clinicamente normais, de até três meses de idade e com peso entre 920 e 3.385 g, divididos, aleatoriamente, em grupo 1 (G1), com 15 animais, e grupo 2 (G2), com 16. Aqueles do G1 foram tratados com NaCI a 0,9% e os do G2 com sangue total. Foram anotados os tempos gastos para implantação da agulha, as velocidades máximas de infusão obtidas e as ocorrências havidas durante o período de infusão. Todos os animais foram avaliados clinicamente durante os 30 dias de experimentação e por meio de radiografias nos dias 15 e 30 do experimento. Constatou-se que a técnica é de fácil e rápida execução e pouco cruenta. Os resultados observados indicam que a via intramedular é segura, sendo uma alternativa valiosa à via intravenosa no tratamento de filhotes de cães com graves alterações hemodinâmicas.
