An experimental study of normothermic abdominal aorta clamping in dogs: I. The safe time limit and syndromes after abdominal aorta clamping

Abstract

The results of our study show that 25 min are the safe time limit for abdominal aorta clamping in dogs. Beyond this time limit there is a great tendency to produce severe changes in hemodynamics, blood biochemistry and ultrastructure of organs, leading to a series of syndromes, such as, respiratory distress, acute hypertensive cerebral edema, multi-organ microthrombosis — diseased cell — syndrome.
