Pathophysiological Responses of the Subhuman Primate in Experimental Septic Shock.

Abstract

The serious problem of clinical septic shock has demanded a closer look at the development of a more suitable experimental animal model. The present study was designed to more closely approximate the human clinical entity by studying the cardiovascular-pulmonary-morphologic responses of the baboon to slow infusions of live E. coli organisms. Findings demonstrate notable interactions of cardiovascular-pulmonary dysfunction and renal, cardiac and pulmonary morphological lesions. The baboon shock model appears ideally suited for studies of experimental septic shock and bears suitable resemblance to human clinical entity.
