Ephedrine in the initial treatment of haemorrhagic shock.

Abstract:

:The initial treatment for hypotension due to blood loss is intravenous fluids. Occasionally there is need for additional medication, as well as stopping the source of the bleeding. The literature in the main discusses the use of dopamine. Ephedrine has not been reviewed as useful in such situations. This article discusses the immediate use of ephedrine in the treatment of shock due to bleeding; its special quality is as a catecholamine whose venoconstrictor component is stronger than its arterioconstrictor component. Thus, its effect of increasing venous return is more significant than arterial vasoconstriction.

  • Is there a role for lymph in intestinal glucose absorption?

    abstract::Although the role of the lymphatic circulation in the uptake of dietary fat is well established, the absorption of water-soluble compounds, secreted by the enterocyte into the lymph, has received little attention. In the present study an estimate is made of the amount of dietary glucose that can be absorbed via the ly...
