[Quantitative registration of blood flow during topical application of ice to patients after vago-sympathicotomy (author's transl)].
The volume of the blood flow through the forearm was investigated in 10 patients after vago-sympathicotomy. Venous occlusion rheography was used to determine the changes of blood flow during and after topical application of ice. The increase of blood flow during application was statistically significant. After application only a tendency of increased blood flow could be registrated. These results confirm the theory that the increase blood flow is caused mainly by reflex reactions based on humoral mechanisms.
