[Comparative evaluation of the protective effect of furantril and bloodletting in experimental pulmonary edema].

The author carried out studies on the protective effect of furanthril and bleeding, administered 15 minutes before adrenaline in rabbits with lung oedema induced by adrenaline. The gravity of lung oedema was evaluated by the size of lung coefficient and percentage of the survivals. The obtained results showed that furanthril in a dose of 15 mg per kg showed considerably more manifested effect in comparison with that of bleeding of 7 ml per kg. Their combined usage revealed stronger protective action in comparison with their single application.
