EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT WITH "ENERGY-CONTAINING LACTATED RINGER'S SOLUT|ON"OF TRAUMATIC SHOCK IN RABBITS / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Our experiment aims to compare the effects of "energy-containing lactated Ringer's solution"(EL-RS) with those of "lactated Ringer's solution" (LRS) as an initial resuscitation fluid for the treatment of traumatic shock in rabbits. Deep shock animal models were produced in 74 adult rabbits using the method of pincers pressure and Wiggers' hemorrhagic shock method to produce crush injury of the soft tissue on the thigh and comminuted fracture of the femur. Results showed that blood pressure of the experimental group rose more rapidly than control group and the survival time of the former were longer than the later. The lowering of serum lactate and blood pH etc. showed a similar difference. It is suggested that ELRS is more efficient than LRS for the treatment of traumatic shock in rabbits.
