Summary
The effect of mechanical asphyxia, caused by the complete obstruction of trachea, on some parameters of the blood coagulability and on the number of corpuscular elements in the blood, was studied in male rabbits. The mechanical asphyxia resulted already after 2.5 to 3.0 min in the significant shortening of the coagulation time, as well as of the prothrombin time, the recalcification time being unchanged. The number of thrombocytes, eosinophils was significantly diminished, the number of leucocytes and lymphocytes was on the contrary greater. The finding of the elevated coagulability of the blood during the acute phase of the mechanical asphyxia suggests, that the finding of the liquid blood in corpses, died for instance owing to strangulation is secondary, caused probably by the activation of the fibrinolysis.
The adrenal hormones play in the origin of the above mentioned changes of the blood an important role, because after the bilateral adrenalectomy the mechanical asphyxia did not influence neither the coagulation time nor the prothrombin time. The number of lymphocytes and eosinophils did not change and the number of leucocytes was even lower. Adrenalectomy did not influence the reaction of thrombocytes on asphyxia.
