Effect of Hypovolemic Shock on the Generalized Shwartzman Reaction
View through CrossRef
The generalized Shwartzman reaction was produced in rabbits by two intravenous injections of endotoxin given 20–22 h apart. Prior to the second injection of endotoxin, the animals were made hypovolemic by removal of 40% blood volume or reduction of the systolic pressure to 70% of normal, whichever came first. This blood removal produced a persistent hypotensive episode. 8/9 rabbits made hypotensive in this manner had evidence of glomerular capillary thrombi compared to 8/8 in a group that did not have blood removed. It is concluded that hypovolemic shock of this magnitude does not prevent the generalized Shwartzman reaction.
