چکیده

Cinephotomicrography shows emboli are formed in the lung during stages of anaphylactic and endotoxin shock and platelet counts are decreased. Rabbits in anaphylactic shock had a 50 percent mortality while 100 percent mortality was associated with endotoxin shock. During the terminal phase, the platelet count recovers in anaphylactic shock but not in endotoxin shock. This suggests a difference in the emboli formed during these two forms of shock. This study was directed at determining what might be the difference. Periodic measurement of electrocardiographic tracings, fibrinogen, factor VIII and fibrin degradation products (FDP) were made using standard equipment and test kits. The results of the study showed no changes in any of the measured clotting factors during anaphylactic shock. However, in endotoxin shock FDP appeared after seven to 10 hours, fibrinogen levels decreased from 221 mg per dl to 85 mg per dl and factor VIII time increased significantly. From these results, it is concluded that platelet aggregation in anaphylactic shock does not involve fibrin deposition, whereas in endotoxin shock platelet aggregation and fibrin deposition are both a factor in the formation of the emboli, possibly explaining the irreversible aggregation observed in terminal endotoxin shock.

Within 30 to 60 seconds after endotoxin is injected into adult mongrel dogs there is a decline in systemic blood pressure, a rise in portal vein pressure, a reduction in the venous return of blood to the heart, and a decrease in renal blood flow (1, 2). Endotoxin shock is comparable in many ways to acute anaphylactic shock in the dog (3). Several observations have suggested that an immune mecha...

Plasma changes in endotoxin and anaphylactic shock (ATP, ADP and Creatine phosphorus).

Decisive patterns have been demonstrated in plasma adenosine 5' triphosphate (ATP) levels in both endotoxin and anaphylactic shock which correlate with periods of low platelet counts, low arterial pressures and abnormal electrocardiograms. When these irregularities were occurring, the plasma ATP level was low; when improvement occurred, the plasma ATP level rose. Plasma ATP levels appear to be ...
