Conscious, chronically instrumented pigs were subjected to a progressive, fixed-volume hemorrhage (37.5 ml/kg over 1 h) and subsequent resuscitation with 7.5% hemorrhage (37.

Hyperosmolar salt solutions appear to have benefits over isosmolar solutions. Both, however, produce hypoproteinemia, which can lead to edema formation due to changes in the transcapillary oncotic gradient and possibly by changing the interstitial matrix.

In each case angiography was performed and intracranial pressure was measured. Dexamethasone, a low molecular weight dextran, and mannitol were administered.

Selective hypoxia of the left lower lobe of the lung in open chested dogs caused the electromagnetically measured blood flow to the lobe to decrease 51 plus or minus 4 (SE) percent and its vascular resistance to increase 132 plus or minus 13 percent. Pressure and blood flow in the main pulmonary artery and left atrial pressure did not change during the hypoxic response.
