Abstract
Changes in the parameters of the hemodynamics and gas exchange during an artificial increase in the circulating blood volume produced by intravenous injection of dextran (2% of the body weight) were studied in experiments on rabbits with lethal burn shock. Depending on the changes in the parameters studied following injection of dextran the burned animals can be divided into three groups: in group 1 the decrease in the minute volume of the heart was due mainly to cardiac failure, in group 2 to a lowering of the tone of the low pressure system, and in group 3 to a combination of both factors.
