Still making the case against prehospital intubation: A rat hemorrhagic shock model.
Summary of "Still making the case against prehospital intubation: A rat hemorrhagic shock model."
Prehospital intubation does not appear to result in a survival advantage for patients experiencing penetrating trauma; yet, there is still resistance to the practice of "scoop and run" to speed access to advanced care. An animal model was used to determine whether intubation provides a survival advantage during potentially lethal hemorrhage.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
A distinct and virulent form of DENGUE characterized by thrombocytopenia and hemoconcentration (grades I and II) and distinguished by a positive tourniquet test. When accompanied by circulatory failure and shock (grades III and IV), it is called dengue shock syndrome. (From Dorland, 28th ed)
Exsanguination
Rapid and extreme blood loss leading to HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK.
Shock, Hemorrhagic
Acute hemorrhage or excessive fluid loss resulting in HYPOVOLEMIA.
Hemorrhagic Fevers, Viral
A group of viral diseases of diverse etiology but having many similar clinical characteristics; increased capillary permeability, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia are common to all. Hemorrhagic fevers are characterized by sudden onset, fever, headache, generalized myalgia, backache, conjunctivitis, and severe prostration, followed by various hemorrhagic symptoms. Hemorrhagic fever with kidney involvement is HEMORRHAGIC FEVER WITH RENAL SYNDROME.
Hsp40 Heat-shock Proteins
A family of heat-shock proteins that contain a 70 amino-acid consensus sequence known as the J domain. The J domain of HSP40 heat shock proteins interacts with HSP70 HEAT-SHOCK PROTEINS. HSP40 heat-shock proteins play a role in regulating the ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATASES activity of HSP70 heat-shock proteins.

Vagal nerve stimulation modulates gut injury and lung permeability in trauma-hemorrhagic shock.
Hemorrhagic shock is known to disrupt the gut barrier leading to end-organ dysfunction. The vagus nerve can inhibit detrimental immune responses that contribute to organ damage in hemorrhagic shock. T...
