Measure Blood Pressure

Arterial lines with three-way taps are used to measure blood pressure and aspirate blood, and are a potential source of catheter-related sepsis. Swabs were taken daily from 118 three-way taps on 98 arterial lines in a general intensive care unit. Infusion lines were changed weekly but arterial cannulae were not changed routinely. An overall contamination rate of 24.6% was found with the predominant organism being coagulase negative staphylococcus. The three-way taps became increasingly contaminated with time but this was shown to be unrelated to the manipulation rates. Blood culture organisms in those showing contamination of the three-way taps showed no relationship to the bacteria causing the contamination.

Characteristic Curve ◽  
Short Time

1. As a result of the intravenous infusion of a solution of sodium chloride a characteristic curve indicating the fluid retained in the vascular system is obtained. In the first period of the infusion the maximum of retention of fluid is noted. Then more fluid is removed from the blood vessels, so that for a short time a fall in the curve of dilution takes place, after which the dilution again slowly increases. 2. This curve is not materially changed by the addition of calcium chloride or of adrenalin to the infused solution, and under such conditions adrenalin does not lead to an increased pressing out of fluid from the vascular system, although is causes a constant and decided rise in blood pressure. Myocarditic lesions lead to an increased intravascular retention of fluid. Nephrectomy does not lead to an increased intravascular retention of fluid, but probably causes a diminution of the amount of fluid retained in the blood vessels.

Salt Gland Secretion

The osmotic regulation of the salt gland secretion was studied in the domestic duck. The response to the intravenous infusion of 5% sodium chloride (850 meq Na per liter) was established in unanesthetized ducks. Sodium bicarbonate (892 meq Na/l) produced a salt gland secretion similar to that after 5% sodium chloride, except that it was accompanied by a moderate diuresis. Mannitol and sucrose had similar effects. On the other hand, urea, ammonium chloride, dextran, and meralluride produced only a small amount of salt-gland secretion of low electrolyte concentration. Antidiuretic doses of Pitressin did not induce secretion of the salt gland.
