Abstract:
The invention provides a physiologically acceptable solution for treating circulatory shock in mammals which is hyperosmotic as compared to blood plasma. The solution contains a reabsorbable solute and sodium salt in a concentration having an osmolarity in excess of about 1000 mOsms. The physiologically acceptable solution can be easily administered by rapid infusion of 4-6 ml/kg body weight and results in rapid normalization of circulatory function.
