✦ Synopsis

An interactive computer model is described which uses 'blood volume deficit' and 'bleeding duration' together with rates of infusion to simulate the first two hours of haemorrhage. it allows multiple infusions of various fluids to be spe@ed and includes an estimation of the volumes added by the transcapillary ref;ll mechanism. The output is expressed graphically in terms of blood pressure and haematonit at intervals of one minute. This computer model has p-roved useful for assessing the effects of a range of variables in hypovolaemic shock. It has considerable potential for investigating the relative efficacy of various clinical protocols and could provide an alternative to animal expermentation which has so far been the primary method of obtaining data on acute haemon-hage. It is also a useful teaching aid. Cojpright
