Summary

The author has studied the secretory and motor (“hunger” perlodical motions) stomach activity in the gastrooesophagotomized dog. Following the establishment of standards of the activity under investigation, the dog was twice bled to death in short experiments. The clinical death lasted 2 minutes in the first experiment and 7 minutes in the second. Then the changes of the stomach activity and the dynamics of the processes of recovery were studied. Exhaustion of the secretory function of the organism and chaotic motor function of the stomach were revealed. The process of recovery took from 2 to 4 months.
