Physiology and Relief of Traumatic Arterial Spasm

Traumatic arterial spasm its relief in man and in monkeys

“…Practical Considerations.-Most of the clinical recommendations based on the earlier experimental studies still stand (Kinmonth, 1952) and have been confirmed by subsequent work. There are some details which can be amplified and so the following somewhat general principles can be laid down for dealing with a case of artificial spasm.…”

“…The knife Simeone, 1952.; Kinmonth, 1952) indicates that was used first, then blunt dissection. This was often traumatic arterial spasm is myogenic in nature and sufficient to make the vessel contract into a white independent of nervous control.…”

“…been used for spasmolysis during angiographic procedures," but has not proved to be a reliable or lasting therapeutic intraoperative modality. 2 Nifedipine is ineffective in reversal of spasm in medium to large arteries, regardless of its route of administration. ":" If pharmacotherapeutic measures fail to reduce the spasm, mechanical dilation via an arteriotomy is recommended.…”

Fundamental Principles Governing the Care of Traumatic Arteriovenous Aneurysms

“…The injured vessel was then isolated immediately above and below the site of injury, and controlled by serrated bulldog or Potts clamps. These manipulations of the artery occasionally produced a spasm in the proximal segment but this was easily dissipated according to the method of Kinmonth (12) by wrapping the proximal artery at and above the spasm with a sponge soaked in 2.5 per cent papaverine hydrochloride solution (Jahnke).…”
