A considerable measure of success has crowned the efforts, until now it is very generally agreed that not toxemia1but blood volume changes due to loss of fluid in the injured part play the chief rôle. With this concentration of blood there is also hypochloremia, low venous pressure, insufficient venous return flow to the heart and therefore rapid heart action and...Bibliography1.
