Abstract
Observations were made of the changes of specific gravity in blood in the tonsillectomy, and the following results were obtained.1) After the injection of 0.5% Procain solution for the local anaesthesia, the specific gravity of whole blood (GB) and that of blood serum (Gs) were found to decrease in a similar process, although the decrease of (Gj) was less than that of (GB) in a slight extent.2) In order to detect a more detailed relation between the (GB) and the (Gs) reduction, an examination was made of the relative change between (GB-Gs) and (Gs- 1).The paradoxical phenomena was seen as a relationship between the two values during the period from the local injection to thirty minutes after the operation as well as at the point of two hours after the operation.3) From the above results it seems likely that the time inducing the shock reaction which has been clinically experienced after the tonsillectomy may be associated with the paradoxical phenomenon.
