Increased Splenic Capacity in Response to Transdermal Application of Nitroglycerine in the Dog

Abstract: This study was conducted to determine if application of transdermal 2% nitroglycerine ointment (TDNG) to dogs anesthetized with alpha chloralose would produce splenic dilatation by relaxation of venous smooth muscle. Sonomicrometer crystals were applied to the spleen in each of 15 dogs, and a pressure-measuring catheter was inserted into a splenic vein. The sonomicrometer crystals permitted measurement of splenic dimension, which is known to correlate with splenic volume. Ten dogs were given 2.5 cm TDNG/10 kg,… Show more
