Abstract
In order to clarify the influence of hemorrhage associated with hemothorax on the circulatory system, 58 mongrel dogs were bled by bleeding bottle method until blood pressure fell to 50mmHg and oleothorax with liquid paraffin was created, simulating acute hemothorax.Analysis was made on the relation between circulatory failure and the amount of injected paraffin which parallel the severity of hemothorax.1) The oleothorax with the paraffin injection in amonnts of 20cc/kg and 40cc/kg did not overload the circulatory system, while the injection of 80cc/kg was followed by irreversible circulatory failure.2) The most effective treatment for the oleothorax associated with hemorrhage was blood transfusion, supplemented by O2 inhalation and removal of paraffin.
