Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To find whether the principal indices of blood rheological disorders related to the microcirculation undergo drastic changes during the traumatic shock. METHODS: RBC aggregability and deformability, as well as the systemic hematocrit, were assessed in white laboratory rats with the techniques that provided us with direct and quantitative data. RESULTS: We found that in the experimental animals the RBC aggregability was sharply increased, the RBC deformability significantly decreased, while the systemic hematocrit underwent considerable lowering during the traumatic shock. CONCLUSION: The blood rheological properties are significantly disordered during development of the traumatic shock.
