Hemorrhagic Shock in Rats

Abstract
This work presents a method of inducing hemorrhagic shock in the rat similar to the Wiggers type of controlled hypotension produced by hemorrhage in dogs. Studying hemorrhagic shock in the rat has the following advantages: The canine hemorrhagic shock model used in this laboratory1 is associated with mortality of 50% of the dogs when all the blood removed to produce the hypotension is returned to the circulation at the end of the period of controlled hypotension. In other words, termination of the hemorrhagic shock by giving back the blood provides
