metabolic acidosis and severe hypotension are the main causes of irreversibility during hemorrhagic shock. the influence of these two factors on durations of shock period and survival time were studied in four groups of anesthetized cats. in group i the animals were made hypotensive by reducing mean arterial blood pressure (pa) to 45 mmhg with concurrent metabolic acidosis. [n group ii the same...
