In experiments on dogs, which were anesthetized and underwent hemorragic shock, the hemodynamics, oxygen transport and acid-base status were studied. Cardiac function was studied using ultrasound equipment. It was established that administration of Volekam and Polyoxidin corrects hypovolemia with subsequent restoration of arterial pressure in the aorta and cardiac cavities and increase in the myocard contractility and cardiac output. Comparative analysis has shown that Polyoxidin exerts a more prolonged action than Volekam. In addition, Polyoxidin decreases the blood and plasma viscosity, lowers the blood cells aggregation which promotes the restoration of peripheral circulation. The efficiency of Volekam and Polyoxidin is not inferior to that of the well known blood substitute Polyglukin (dextran group) and, in respect of some parameters, is even superior to that of the latter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
