Abstract
The effects of external pneumatic pressure on muscle blood-flow through the calf have been estimated by a Xenon-133 clearance curve technique. Flow was found to be greatly reduced at 40 mm. of mercury external pressure, and it was concluded that for first-aid purposes inflation pressures in excess of 30 mm. of mercury should not be used.Keywords
