Key result
High-volume, high-pressure pulsatile lavage during bilateral cemented arthroplasty in dogs significantly reduced pulmonary physiological derangements and reduced fat microemboli to 25.7% of the no-lavage group.

Does high-volume, high-pressure pulsatile lavage prevent cardiopulmonary dysfunction and fat embolism in dogs undergoing bilateral cemented arthroplasty?
High-volume, high-pressure pulsatile lavage effectively reduces pulmonary physiological derangements and fat emboli during cemented arthroplasty in a canine model.
Byrick et al. (1989) studied Cardiopulmonary dysfunction and fat embolism during cemented arthroplasty (n=28). High-volume, high-pressure pulsatile lavage vs. No lavage and low-volume, low-pressure manual lavage was evaluated on Cardiopulmonary dysfunction and fat embolism. High-volume, high-pressure pulsatile lavage during bilateral cemented arthroplasty in dogs significantly reduced pulmonary physiological derangements and reduced fat microemboli to 25.7% of the no-lavage group.
