Popis: The aim of the present study was to develop an animal model of pulmonary fat embolism (PFE) caused by femoral intramedullary procedures, and to investigate the initial changes in the hemodynamics, cytokines and risk factors of PFE. Sixteen dogs were randomly divided into two groups: Group A (intramedullary reaming and bone cement injection, n=8) and Group B (surgical approach without opening the medullary cavity, n=8). The hemodynamics, arterial blood gases and relevant cytokines were evaluated, and the lungs were examined using Oil Red O staining. In the animals of Group A, the heart rate, central venous pressure, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and extravascular lung water (EVLW) were increased compared with the baseline levels, while the mean arterial pressure was decreased immediately following the reaming and bone cement infusion (P
