The results of treatment of haemorrhagic shock on survival, blood volumes and metabolism.

“Shock is a depression of the vital powers, induced suddenly by external injury and essentially dependent on loss of innervation. It bears the same relation to the nervous system as syncope to the vascular. In the one case, the result is caused by a diminution of the nervous fluid, in the other, by a diminution of the blood.” (94). This thought of Dr. Samuel Gross, 1872, pathologist and surgeon, marks the beginning of the investigation of shock mechanism.
