BACKGROUND
Severe hemorrhagic shock often results in cardiac arrest due to vital organ hypoperfusion, especially of the heart. Although fluid resuscitation is the mainstay of management in hemorrhagic shock, treatment of cardiac arrest in association with severe hemorrhagic shock is
Alpha methyl tyrosine (AMT) or reserpine administered intravenously 24 hours before sacrificed in the nontraumatized cat resulted in significant reduction in tissue levels of norepinephrine (NE) tested at the T-5 spinal cord level. Phenoxybenzamine given 2 hours before sacrifice did not alter NE
We compared electrocardiographic abnormalities and plasma norepinephrine concentration in 40 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage within the first 24 hours, at 72 hours, and after 1 week. In the 20 patients with high plasma norepinephrine concentrations within the first 24 hours, sinus tachycardia
We compared electrocardiographic abnormalities and plasma norepinephrine concentrations in 40 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage within the first 24 hours, at 72 hours, and after 1 week. In 20 patients with high plasma norepinephrine concentrations within the first 24 hours, sinus tachycardia (p
Severe depletion of endogenous norepinephrine was observed in the brain, heart, liver, and spleen of albino rabbits in which hemorrhagic shock had been induced. On the other hand, the epinephrine content of these tissues was significantly elevated above the levels in tissues of control animals. The
The involvement of the sympathetic nervous system in the cardiovascular response to hemorrhage and subsequent opiate receptor blockade was studied in conscious rabbits. Plasma catecholamines were measured by high-pressure liquid chromatography to indirectly assess sympathetic activity. Arterial
BACKGROUND
The effect of vasopressors on pulse pressure variation (PPV), stroke volume variation (SVV) and on the volumetric variable global end-diastolic volume (GEDV) during changing loading conditions is currently under debate. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of norepinephrine
BACKGROUND
We have shown previously that hemorrhagic hypotension is associated with a progressive development of vascular hyporeactivity to norepinephrine (NE). The present study investigated whether select crystalloid or colloid resuscitation fluids would ameliorate this
Intraperitoneal and intragastric instillation of norepinephrine in high concentration can arrest bleeding of various origins in the gastrointestinal tract. Of the 21 cases studied, the hemorrhage was controlled in 80% of cases. This form of therapy is simple, prompt, safe and can be performed as a
Hemorrhages of various magnitudes were performed on conscious rats, and arterial pressure, heart rate, and plasma levels of adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH), epinephrine, and norepinephrine were measured. Eight rats were prepared with chronic femoral arterial cannulas and received a 10, 15, or 20
Neuroendocrine and autonomic responses were assessed in chloralose-anesthetized cats after nociceptor activation and after acute blood loss, two of the sensory components that accompany injury. Plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), catecholamines (peripheral and adrenal), and cardiovascular
Intravenous l-norepinephrine was given to dogs in hemorrhagic shock to determine the effect on myocardial zonal lesions which are characteristically seen in hypovolemic shock. Zonal lesions produced by hemorrhagic shock in drug-treated and nondrug-treated groups were quantitatively compared both at
Under clinical conditions catecholamines are infused to elevate cerebral perfusion pressure and improve impaired posttraumatic cerebral microcirculation. This, however, is associated with the risk of additional hemorrhage in the acute phase following traumatic brain injury. In the present study we
While electrocardiographic abnormalities in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients have been known since 1947, the provocative mechanism has not yet been satisfactorily explained. The purpose of this study was to evaluate with some tests, the role of autonomic nervous system in provoking the
OBJECTIVE
The majority of patients with ventricular wall motion abnormality (WMA) associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are postmenopausal women. In addition to elevated catecholamine, the role of estrogen in the pathogenesis of WMA has recently been implicated. The objective of this study
