Accordingly, the levels of serum inorganic phosphorus were determined for several animals subjected to these injuries and were found to be strikingly high. A more detailed study, including shock produced by other methods, was then undertaken.

Dogs were used in all experiments. Anesthesia was produced by the subcutaneous injection of 0.030 Gm. of morphine sulfate followed thirty minutes later by the intravenous injection of soluble pentobarbital U. S. P. (pentobarbital sodium) in doses of 0.02 Gm. per kilogram of body weight. Subsequent injections of 0.006 Gm. per kilogram . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
