Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Effect of resuscitative mild hypothermia and oxygen concentration on the survival time during lethal uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock in mechanically ventilated rats.
To test the hypothesis that resuscitative mild hypothermia (MH) (34 degrees C) or breathing fractional inspired oxygen (FIo2) of 1.0 would prolong survival time during lethal uncontrolled haemorrhagic shock (UHS) in mechanically ventilated rats. ⋯ MH prolonged the survival time during UHS in mechanically ventilated rats. However, an FIo2 of 1.0 did not influence the survival time or blood loss from the tail.
