Alteration of hemodynamics, blood gases and lung morphology in bromocarbamide intoxication (animal experiments).

The reaction to animals in bromocarbamide intoxication with respect to blood pressure, resistance in the systemic and pulmonary circulation, cardiac output and arterial blood gas values is presented and discussed in reference to morphological changes in the lung. The animals die due to peripheral circulatory failure if paralysis of respiration is prevented by means of artificial ventilation. The observed morphological lung changes are not the cause of death.
