Abstract

The effect of local brain cooling on the resistance of erythrocytes to chemical and osmotic hemolytics was studied in experiments on dogs. With lowering of the body temperature of the animals from 38 to 24°C, cells with increased resistance disappeared from the blood stream and erythrocytes with minimal chemical resistance became predominant. Meanwhile reticulocytes disappeared from the blood and erythrocytosis developed. The osmotic resistance of the red cells either rises a little or remains at its initial level in hypothermia.
