Abstract

Experimental trauma and hemorrhage acutely reduce capillary blood flow in all organs except the heart. After reinfusion of the withdrawn blood a long-lasting increase of pulmonary bronchial blood flow and hepatic and renal blood flow is observed parallel to a rise in cardiac output. However, blood flow in the intestines, pancreas, and spleen remains significantly reduced. Particularly, renal and pulmonary bronchial blood flow is significantly higher in animals surviving for 72 hr than in animals succumbing after an average of 32 hr.
