SOME REPRESENTATIVE 

 EXPERIMENTS 



The experiments described below in the form of 

 the actual protocols are representative of many which 

 show the toxic nature of shock induced in various 

 ways. These have been presented as a further il- 

 lustration of some of the concepts discussed in the 

 text. Experiments concerning the influence of cytost 

 upon the growth, development, and breeding of ani- 

 mals have not been included because the descrip- 

 tions of these in the text are believed to be sufficiently 

 detailed to permit of a proper understanding of their 

 technical details. 



TRAUMATIC SHOCK 



Cat, Male, Weight 4,300 grams. Temperature 

 39.5°. Room Temperature 21°. Ether anesthesia be- 

 gun at 9.15 A.M. 



9.30 A.M. Temperature 38.5°. Esmarch bandage ap- 

 plied so as to exert pressure on internal iliacs and ab- 

 dominal aorta, thus keeping blood from lower ex- 

 tremities. Animal placed on radiator to keep warm.
