CHIEN, SHU, ROBERT J. DELLENBACK, SHUNICHI USAMI, DAVID A. BURTON, PAUL F. GUSTAVSON, AND VOJISLAV MAGAZINOVIC. Blood volume, hemodynamic, and metabolic changes in hemorrhagic shock in normal and splenectomized dogs. Am. J. Physiol. 225(4): 866-879. 1973.-Normal and splenectomized beagles were subjected to 3 hr of oligemic hypotension. Presence of the spleen was associated with larger bleeding ...

Conscious, chronically instrumented pigs were subjected to a progressive, fixed-volume hemorrhage (37.5 ml/kg over 1 h) and subsequent resuscitation with 7.5% hemorrhage (37.5 ml/kg over 1 h) and subsequent resuscitation with 7.5% NaCl/6% Dextran 70 (4 ml/kg). Hemorrhage led to increases in arterial PO2, HbO2, plasma lactate, base deficit, and mixed venous PCO2. It led to decreases in arterial ...

PURPOSE To determine whether metabolic and hemodynamic parameters are "mathematically" coupled in rats submitted to portal triad occlusion following controlled hemorrhagic shock state. METHODS Pearson's coefficient (r-value) analysis was performed. Differences considered significant at p < 0.05 and -0.50 > r > 0.50. RESULTS It was observed that there is a direct proportional relationship to...

The aim of this study was to identify factors that predict morbidity and mortality in patients with traumatic pancreatic injuries. A retrospective review was performed on 75 consecutive patients with traumatic pancreatic injuries admitted to the Emergency Medical Center at Masan Samsung Hospital and subsequently underwent laparotomy during the period January 2000 to December 2005. Overall morta...

A 32 year old primiparous woman presented with decreased fetal movements and her cardiotocograph (CTG) showed sinusoidal trace. She was taken up for emergency Cesarean section. A 39 weeks female baby was delivered. She was pale; there was no spontaneous breathing and the heart rate was less than 100/min. She was dried and wrapped, intubated and CPR was commenced. Venous cord pH was 6.9, base de...

introduction: acute traumatic coagulopathy (atc) is defined as having evidence of coagulopathy in patients with severe trauma. the aim of this preliminary study was to assess the prevalence and associated factors of atc in severely traumatic patients presenting to emergency department (ed). methods: in this retrospective cross sectional study, all patients with severe traumatic injury and avail...
