Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock in rabbits produces definite changes in the electroencephalogram. These are characterized basically by the appearance of slow waves of increased amplitude. In shock irreversible to transfusion there occurs a progressive decrease in cortical electrical activity which is shown on the electroencephalogram as a continued reduction in the frequency and voltage (amplitude) of the wave pattern. The effects on the electroencephalogram of blood transfusion in reversible and irreversible hemorrhagic shock are discussed. It is tentatively suggested that the electroencephalographic response to blood transfusions in shock may be used as a means of differentiating the reversible and irreversible forms. © 1949, Sage Publications.
