Purpose: To compare the effects of resuscitation with hemoglobin-based oxygen-carriers
and conventional resuscitation fluids on hemodynamics, oxygen transport, and oxygen
consumption in an animal model of the use of these fluids in the treatment of hemorrhagic
shock. Protocol: Twenty-eight immature swine were surgically prepared, allowed to recover
five days, water deprived for 48 hours, hemorrhaged of 25 ml/kg over one hour, resuscitated
promptly with 1) Ringer's lactate, 75 ml/kg, 2) 7% albumin in Ringer's acetate, 25 ml/kg, 3) …
