PURPOSE: Study the effect of the volemic correction with different solutions, in the mucous of the small bowel in rats. METHODS: Were used 120 rats Wistar (Rattus norvegicus albinus), males, adults, seemingly healthy, with individual weight varying between 310 and 410g, originating from of the Instituto Evandro Chagas of Belém of Pará, submitted to an adaptation period of 15 days, receiving water and ration ad libitum, during the role experiment. For the research, ten animals were distributed, in groups and subgroups as following: Standard group (S), Shock group (Sh), Physiological Solution group (PS) and Hypertonic Solution Group (HS). The groups were divided in subgroups with 10 animals each, in agreement with the day of postoperative (DPO) foreseen for the euthanasis of the animals, (1st, 3rd or 7th DPO), being after this, picked material for cellular viability in every animals. RESULTS: The group PS took less quantity viable cells. CONCLUSION: The volemic correction with chloride of sodium solution at 7.5%, when compared the correction with chloride of sodium at 0.9% (isotonic solution), took the maintenance of larger amount of viable cells, in the small bowel in rats.
