Not illustrated. 1918 Excerpt: ...with. Fig. 28.--Gum-Saline in Wound Shock. Case of abdominal shell wound. Apparently moribund on admission. On operation, two pints of blood in peritoneal cavity. Six perforations of intestine sutured. Intravenous injection of gum during operation. At end of operation (thirty minutes)--blood pressure. 80 mm. and fair pulse. Next day--blood pressure, 120 mm. and later 140 mm., remaining permanently. (Fraser and Cowell, 1917, p. 22. 6 -- Properties.--The solutions are easily sterilised without loss of viscosity. The temperature of a steam steriliser was sufficient for the experiments which were made on cats, although it might be Fig. 29.--Gum Solution (5 per cent.) after Haemorrhage in Cat. a. Initial height of blood pressure (zero at base of figure). Horizontal line marks 100 mm. b. After 66 per cent. of the blood had been removed in three stages. c. After replacement of the blood lost by gum arabic in saline. Note that the viscosity is not sufficient to raise the pressure to its original height. d. After 2 "5 hours. e. After three hours. The tracings are spaced in order to compare with Fig. 9. safer to use an autoclave. Solutions exposed to the air do not easily grow moulds or bacteria, probably because of the absence of nitrogenous compounds. Since they do not contain protein, it is unlikely that anaphylaxis would be produced. But it seemed best to test it. Cats and guinea pigs received intravenous injections three weeks after a previous injection without showing any signs of anaphylactic shock. Govaerts (1917), in his studies of post-haemorhagic anaemia, found what he calls "artificial serum" of scarcely any value compared with transfusion of blood. But his solutions were simple saline solutions and the results merely serve to con...
