Intraperitoneal Metabolic Consequences of Supraceliac Aortic Balloon Occlusion in an Experimental Animal Study Using Microdialysis

Supraceliac ABO caused severe hemodynamic, renal, and systemic metabolic disturbances compared with SMA occlusion, most likely because of the more extensive ischemia-reperfusion injury. The intra-abdominal metabolism, measured by microdialysis, was affected by both ABO and SMA occlusion but the most severe disturbances were caused by ABO. The i.p l/p ratios and the glycerol concentrations increased during ischemia and reperfusion and may serve as markers of these events and indicate anaerobic metabolism and cell damages respectively.
