Avaliação da dinâmica de eletrolíticos e albumina em equinos submetidos a coleta de plasma por método manual e automatizado

Abstract

Equines for their docility and large blood supply and goodimmunological response, facing immunizations is chosen asan animal of choice for the production of Hyperimmue plasmas. The traditional method of collection developed for more than 50 years and has limitations of volume and quality of the hemoproduct. Thus the option of collection for automated means produces a hemocomponent with lower rate of contamination (by red blood cells) and still returning to the animal the bloodline series. It is necessary to evaluate the losses of electrolytes that are removed from the hyperimmune plasma, thus evaluatingthe replacement needs. Were used twenty six equines, divided into two groups of thirteen animals each, namely: control group - GC - (manual plasma collection) and experimental group - GE - (automated plasma collection). In order to demonstrate the immediate dynamics of the profile of electrolytes, sodium, potassium and calcium, and albumin, compared to horses submitted to collection by manual and automated methods. The animals showed small losses of simple correction, without clinical significance.
