Abstract
|
|
|
This experiment was conducted in order to find out the hernatologic responses to hyperbaric pressure in rabbits.
Twenty-nine male rabbits weighing about 2 kg were used. Blood samples were collected through the ear vein of rabbit with heparinized syringe before and after exposure to 5 atmospheric air pressure absolute (5 ATA) in overcompression chamber.
The analyzed items were blood pictures; RBC, WBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, chemical compositions; glucose, cholesterol, specific gravity, pH, and plasma electrolytes; Na, K, Cl.
The results obtained were as follows:
1. Hyperbaric pressure did not influence on the numbers of RBC and WBC.
2. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were decreased significantly by hyperbaric pressure.
3. Blood cholesterol level did not change, while the glucose level, specific gravity and pH changed significantly.
4. Plasma electrolytes were increased in K, not in Na and Cl.
