BACKGROUND: To elaborate the impact of new haemostatic agents we developed an instrument for the pressure-controlled induction of blunt liver injuries in a porcine animal model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A dilutional coagulopathy of 80% of animal blood volume was induced in 9 anaesthetized pigs. Animals were randomly assigned to be injured with a force of 112 Newton (N) (n = 1), 224 +/- 19 N (n = 4) or 355 +/- 35 N (n = 4). The impact of injury was measured by blood loss, survival time and coagulation parameters. Liver histology was obtained to evaluate the degree of liver injury. RESULTS: The profound haemodilution resulted in a significant alteration of all coagulation parameters. After inflicting the injury with 355 +/- 35 N, both the survival time (30 +/- 9 min; p = 0.006) and blood loss (68 +/- 16 ml min(-1), p = 0.002) were significantly different as compared to injuries with 224 +/- 19 N (survival time: 76 +/- 20 min, blood loss: 23 +/- 4 ml min(-1)). In contrast, an injury with 112 N led to an insignificant blood loss of only 239 ml. CONCLUSION: We developed a pressure-controlled clamp that allows for the induction of blunt liver traumas with highly reproducible injuries with a positive correlation with blood loss and survival.
