ASSOCIATE LE-RER IU ANESTHESIA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF THE W E S T I h U l E S DURING past decade the popularity of perarterial blood transthe fusion in the treatment of severe hzmorrhage or traumatic shock has increased considerably. Binghaml et alia report their clinical impressions and observations in support of their belief that perarterial transfusion will succeed where intravenous transfusions will fail in resuscitaticn of patients cearly or apparently dead from circulatory collapse due to shock or hzmorrhage. It is suggested that the reason for rapid improvement in moribund patients is due to the improvement in the coronary arterial blood supply to the heart, quite apart from the increase in the circulatory blood volume. On the other hand, intravenous transfusion, it is thought, acts by increasing the volume of venous return to the heart and thereby increasing the cardiac output. Arterial pressure in the effective part of the circulation must then rise.
