Abstract
Summary Bilateral splanchnic neurectomy prevented the occurrence of circulatory collapse in dogs following acute bilateral adre-nalectomy. Sham splanchnic neurectomy was not effective in this, regard. The mechanism of this protective effect is not by delaying the disappearance of the corticosteroids, but rather by preventing hyperactivity of the sympathetic nervous system in the face of adrenal insufficiency.
