HYPOTHERMIA AND BLOOD FLOW THROUGH SKELETAL MUSCLE

Abstract

The general purpose of this study is to determine the vascular response of an isolated gracilis muscle to hypothermia. Data are presented on three pertinent aspects of this problem: (1) the effect of the rate of lowering the temperature on the vascular response of the isolated gracilis muscle, (2) the effect of hypothermia on the oxygen consumption of the resting isolated muscle, and (3) the effect of hypothermia on the reactivity of the vasculature of the isolated muscle.
