The hemostasis system evaluation in rabbits after lifetime experimental modeling of retroperitoneal hematoma

The purpose of research is to study the dynamics of the hemostasis system in rabbits after intravital experimental modeling of retroperitoneal hematoma. The object of the study was 50 male rabbits of the Gray Giant breed, from which experimental and control groups of 25 individuals each were formed. Animals of the experimental group under non-inhalation anesthesia underwent intravital modeling of a retroperitoneal hematoma using a method we developed, including taking blood from the ear artery with the addition of an anticoagulant and subsequent injection of autologous blood into the retroperitoneal space. Animals in the control group were subjected to non-inhalational anesthesia only. Intravital experimental modeling of retroperitoneal hematoma in rabbits led to a number of significant changes in the hemostatic system, which were most pronounced in the first 14 days after the experiment. The international norma-lized ratio (INR) in the experimental group of animals had significantly low values compared to the control group only on the 1st, 3rd and 7th days, and the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) - on the 1st, 3rd days , 7th and 14th days after the experiment. There were no significant differences in the level of fibrinogen in blood plasma between the animals of the experimental and control groups. Thrombin time (TT) in animals of the experimental group was significantly higher only on the 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th days, and the D-dimer content was significantly higher in all studied periods after the experiment in comparison with the control group animals. The highest level of D-dimer in the blood plasma of animals in the experimental group was recorded on the 7th day and probably indicated that in retroperitoneal hematomas the most active processes of fibrinolysis occur at this time. Low values of INR in the first 7 days and aPTT in the first 14 days, as well as prolongation of TT in the first 14 days after the experiment, give reason to believe that with retroperitoneal hematomas, the threshold for the likelihood of thrombus formation increases during these periods.
