[Oxygen consumption in the lungs of dogs with external hemorrhage and after reinfusion of blood].

In experiments on 10 dogs with external blood loss and reinfusion it was demonstrated, that in hemorrhagic and posthemorrhagic periods oxygen consumption by the organism is determined not only by O2 demands of the large circulation tissues, but to a great extent by demands in O2 in the system of lesser circulation, what is being evidenced by activation of the metabolic function of the lungs. It turned out that in pathogenesis of postinfusion respiratory insufficiency reactions of lipid oxidation in the lungs play a significant role.
