The role of the pituitary-adrenal system in the restoration of the vital functions after clinical death

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

The course of resuscitation was compared after fatal blood loss in hypophysectomized and healthy cats. Experiments have demonstrated that removal of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis impedes the restorative process. Hypophyseal-adrenal insufficiency becomes manifest during functional normalization of the subcortical centers and metabolism. ACTH and cortisone therapy is recommended in terminal conditions.
