Abstract
SummaryTourniquet shock in rats cannot be prevented by a rigid cast applied to the hind extremity immediately after removal of the tourniquet. The effect of the cast is to reduce the rapidity rather than the ultimate magnitude of local fluid loss. Survival time of the animals is prolonged but there is no decrease in mortality. The development of shock is accompanied by hemoconcentration and rise in serum creatine both of which occur more gradually than in control rats without casts.
