Popis: ConclusionsConstant displacement of the S-T segment in several leads (one exception) during the periods of severe hypotension indicates that functional myocardial changes occurred as a result of reduced coronary blood flow. The persistence of such changes after reinfusion, or their reappearance before arterial pressure has declined a great deal, strongly support the concept that functional ventricular fibrillation) developed after vigorous massage. The results suggest that toxic substances with potassium-like actions are present in damaged tissues, that they do not enter the blood stream in sufficient amounts to be detectable when limbs are kept at rest, but that they may contribute materially to the circulatory failure and even lead to prompt cardiac death whenever limbs are massaged.
