INTRACELLULAR FLUID LOSS IN HEMORRHAGE

Intracellular Fluid Loss in Hemorrhage.

Following a sublethal loss of blood an immediate inflow of fluid into the capillary bed takes place. This fact has been repeatedly demonstrated by measurements of reduction in the concentration of plasma protein, fall in specific gravity of the plasma (1), and diminution in dry residue of serum (2). There seems to be no clear evidence regarding the sources of the fluid by which plasma volume is...

Hemorrhage, Shock, and Fluid Resuscitation

Cerebrospinal fluid in cerebral hemorrhage and infarction.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) abnormalities were correlated with pathological diagnoses in 61 patients with autopsy-verified intracerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction. Lumbar punctures were performed within one week of onset of symptoms. The CSF color and red blood cell counts were the most useful CSF parameters in differentiating between intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction. In 7...

Cerebrospinal fluid circulation following subarachnoid hemorrhage.

1 33 6 165 Yes 1 yr. Complete recovery Alterations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cir culation may follow subarachnoid hemorrhage a! though the frequency and extent to which this occurs is unknown. Accurate definition of these abnormali ties is important because in some instances they result in symptomatic communicating hydrocephalus (1 ,2) . Current methods of assessing the patency of the su...

Transdermal fluid loss in severely burned patients

INTRODUCTION The skin protects against fluid and electrolyte loss. Burn injury does affect skin integrity and protection against fluid loss is lost. Thus, a systemic dehydration can be provoked by underestimation of fluid loss through burn wounds. PURPOSE We wanted to quantify transdermal fluid loss in burn wounds. METHOD Retrospective study. 40 patients admitted to a specialized burn unit ...
