The effect of hypertonic glucose upon survival in hemorrhagic shock utilizing a re-stress model in sheep.
Twenty-three adult sheep were subjected to hemorrhagic shock using a re-stress model. Eleven of the animals served as controls and were resuscitated with shed blood and crystaloid. The remaining twelve were resuscitated in the same manner with the addition of hypertonic glucose. There was a highly significant increase in survival of the animals given hypertonic glucose.
