THE SPECIFIC FEATURES OF CELL DEATH OF CIRCULATING NEUTROPHILS IN A SETTING OF EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED CRUSH SYNDROME.

Although the overall incidence of trauma-induced crush syndrome (CS) is as low as 0.1 per 10,000 of population, which makes it one of the least common traumatic injuries, the hazard of CS lies in the high incidence of hemodynamic and metabolic complications, which call for an early diagnosis of this syndrome. This paper reports the specific features of cell death of neutrophils in rat blood as they changed with time using the model of endogenous toxemia formed in a setting of crush syndrome.
