Abstract
Forty-one dogs were subjected, in 4 groups, to controlled hypotension of 40 mm. Hg
for 2 hours. The groups were variously given room air, 100 percent oxygen, 100 percent
oxygen by respirator, and 100 percent oxygen at 3 atmospheres pressure to breathe
during the period of hypotension.
Mortality rates were 90 percent in the control, 50 percent in those receiving 100
percent oxygen at one atmosphere, and 27 percent in those receiving 100 percent oxygen
at 3 atmospheres.
It is believed that any means available for increasing the arterial oxygen content
during hemorrhagic hypotension exerts a beneficial effect on mortality rates.
