    Abstract

    The objective of the present study is to evaluate the pharmacodynamic properties of polymerized porcine hemoglobin (pPolyHb) in an exchange transfusion model. Each of two groups of rats received a volume of pPolyHb or hetastarch that equalled 120–140% of estimated total blood volume (70 ml/kg) exchange transfusion. The results showed pPolyHb retained hemodynamic stability and exhibited superior volume expansion capability. Furthermore, pPolyHb effectively reverse anaerobic metabolism caused by a large amount of volume exchange. In comparison with hetastarch, pPolyHb increased blood oxygen content and tissue oxygenation. All these properties contribute to a higher effectiveness in sustaining the lives of rats in pPolyHb group
