Septic shock and the formation of pulmonary edema were studied in 19 baboons. Four animals served as controls. Four were subjected to deep septic shock by infusion of live E. coli and then deliberately killed while in deep shock. Four were subjected to septic shock, resuscitated with Ringer's lactate (RL), and then killed 11/2 hours after resuscitation was started. Seven were subjected to shock and resuscitation attempted with Plasmanate (PL). Resuscitation with RL was successful for 11/2 hours in all four RL-animals. Resuscitation with PL was successful for 11/2 hours in three of the 7 PL-animals. There was an increased tendency for albumin to extravasate into the interstitium of the lungs after resuscitation. The amount of pulmonary edema, measured by both the thermodye technique and by analysis of post-mortem lung composition, was the same in animals resuscitated with RL and PL. Administration of pure colloid offers no protection to the lungs in resuscitating patients from septic shock.

Baboons were subjected to deep hemorrhagic shock by using a membrane potential of -65 mv as an endpoint. They were then resuscitated with either Plasmanate plus their shed blood or Ringer's lactate plus their shed blood. As compared with their own preshock values, the Plasmanate-resuscitated animals accumulated more extravascular lung water than the Ringer's lactate-resuscitated animals. Another group of baboons resuscitated from deep shock demonstrated significant extravasation of albumin on postmortem analysis of lung composition. This increased tendency for extravasation of albumin after shock partially explains why resuscitation with Plasmanate gave no protection against the formation of pulmonary edema. The authors believe that Plasmanate, and probably other colloidal solutions, should be used sparingly in the initial treatment of deep hemorrhagic shock.
