title: Biochemical changes occurring after blunt chest trauma in monkeys.
abstract: Anesthetized adult female rhesus monkeys were impacted in the middle of the sternum with a 10 kg stunner traveling at a speed of 22-25 mph to simulate an automobile accident. Blodd was obtained at 10 and 60 min following the impact, and approximately 50 values were measured with an autoanalyzer. Blunt chest shock and trauma produced a biochemical, hematologic, and urinary profile which might be used to aid life saving measures.
