Effect of Intravenous Injections of Peritoneal Fluids Recovered from Dogs Dying of Experimental Intestinal Strangulations. 20

Abstract

Conclusions

The peritoneal fluid obtained from dogs dying of strangulation obstruction is non-toxic. R hen injected intravenously into normal dogs providing the strangulated loop is not ruptured or about to rupture and the fluid does not give off a foul odor. We do not deny that the peritoneal fluid may contain toxic products, but they are not demonstrable, at least on injection into other dogs until rupture of the loop.
