THE INFLUENCE OF PLASMA LEVELS OF P2S (AND ADJUVANT TREATMENT WITH ATROPINE) UPON SURVIVAL OF RABBITS AND DOGS POISONED WITH GB OR VX

Abstract

The importance of the concentration of P2S in the plasma of rabbits and dogs has been studied as a determinant of death or survival after poisoning by GB or VX and treatment post poisoning with atropine. It has been shown that 4 micrograms P2S/ml of plasma is a critical concentration for survival against 10 x LD50 of GB or VX provided that atropine is given immediately after poisoning or on the objective signs of poisoning.
