A New Approach to the Control of Shock

ELIZABETH M. MARTIN MD1

1 Highland Hospital, Rochester, N.Y., U.S.A.

A method for the control and alleviation of traumatic and haemorrhagic shock is presented, using the principle of vasodilatation by sympathetic blockade obtained variously by high subarachnoid block, Hexamethonium compounds, or Chlorpromazine. By using position and blood replacement therapy in conjunction with sympathetic blockade it is possible to arrest and reverse the shock phenomena more promptly and safely for the patient and render immediate surgical interference feasible for repair of injury.
