Abstract
The study of plasma electrolytes notably, the potassium and sodium ions during hemorrhagic stress and other forms of shock, were once the subject of intense investigation (42). However, the advent of new investigative techniques enabled more complex, experimental designs and methods to be used in which it was possible to study the many other variables which exist as a result of shock regardless of cause. The proponents of the probable electrolyte mechanism in shock subsequently diminished in numbers until recent times.
It is felt by this author that recent renewal regarding the various ions, especially the cations, sodium and potassium and calcium and their physiologic importance must be directed toward their role during shock with specific reference made to hemorrhagic hypotension. It is to this cause that this paper is directed.
