THE PHYSIOLOGY OF PROLONGED OLIGEMIC HYPOTENSION.

Abstract

Clinical case histories of forty patients with shock are presented in the first section of this report. The cases are discussed under the following classifications: (1) Surgical shock, (2)hemorrhagic shock, (3) septic shock, (4) septic shock with hemorrhage, (5) traumatic shock with hemorrhage, and (6) miscellaneous types of shock. In some of the cases trimethaphan and phenoxybenzamine were administered. The effects of these drugs are included in the case histories. The second section summarizes the research on prolonged, induced oligemic hypotension in animals. These summaries include the effects of hemorrhage and prolonged oligemia on (1) blood volume, (2) lymph flow, (3) splanchnic circulation and (4) the effects of intestinal sterilization with antibiotics on survival in hemorrhagic hypotension.
