Studies on the Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygenation on the Opsonic Index and Haematological Blood Image in Rabbits

Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen toxicity studies were conducted on rabbits using the opsonic index determination.The study was conducted on 15 animals that had opsonin index examined prior to hyperbaric oxygen exposure. They were then subjected to an hourly exposure to hyperbaric oxygen with overpressure values of 1.8, 2.4 and 3.1 atm in groups of 5 animals. After the exposure, the opsonium index was re-examined upon the lapse of 1, 2 and 10 days. Parallelly, the morphological image of the blood was examined.There was a sta… Show more

“…For these animals, it was impossible to significantly exceed the critical pressure value due to the non-negative effects of high partial pressure of oxygen, nitrogen and high density of the breathing mixture. The animals would be exposed to central oxygen poisoning, nitrogen anaesthesia and hypercapnia, which would not be without impact on the results of the studies [2][3][4]7,8,10,18,19,21,[22][23][24]27,30,35,38,39,41].…”

“…Previous reports on nitrogen release from the human body and large experimental animals were based on the determination of the rate of excretion following administration of oxygen or a gas mixture containing no nitrogen [1,5,7,10,14,[17][18][19]22,24,26,29,30,31,40]. Due to the inert gas distribution process in the system, this method cannot be used for small animals.…”
