Abstract
A procedure is described for comparing the effectiveness of different infusion media in the prevention of fatal shock. Using this procedure it was found that each of the solutions increased the chances for survival if given in adequate amounts early in shock. While 97% of the animals died without treatment, only 8% died after receiving a transfusion of plasma. Saline gave about one-third as many survivals as plasma, and the solutions of isinglass and polyvinyl alcohol were intermediate in their effectiveness.
