THE PHYSIOLOGY OF MECHANICAL TRAUMA
Abstract
Renal plasma flow and filtration rate appeared to increase slightly but significantly after minor abdominal operations. Following large abdominal operations these functions are significantly depressed. Thoracic operations even of great magnitude do not depress renal function presuming that shock has not intervened. Morbidity and mortality in dogs subjected to hemorrhagic shock is diminished by the use of heparin and is also diminished by the omission of all wetable surfaces from the exsanguination and retransfusion system. Methods for measuring oxygen consumption during shock are described and the usefulness of the measurement of this parameter is indicated.
