CHANGES IN PHOSPHATE OF MUSCLE DURING TOURNIQUET SHOCK

Abstract
The changes which occur in the phosphates of muscle, the blood supply of which has been completely occluded, are those of autolyzing muscle. Adenosine tri-phosphate almost disappears after 3 hrs. and phospho-creatine is almost completely hydrolyzed in 1 hr. The inorganic phosphates of the muscle rapidly increase to a maximum in about 4 hrs. The total of the acid-soluble phosphates is not changed. If the flow of blood is restored.
