Struct ural changes in the human brain in hemorrhagic shock
The brains of 17 patients died at the in - patient department of acute anemia, complicated by hemorrhagic shock have been studied by means of histological methods of investigation. In 9 of them alcohol was revealed in blood. The results of hemorrhagic shock are the following: spasm of brain arteries, particularly small ones, irregular blood content in microcirculatory system, venous dystonia. Revealed changes in vessels correlate with damage of neurons and neuroglia. Hemorrhagic shock on the background of alcoholic intoxication is characterized histologically by disturbance of morphofunctional state of pial and intracerebral arteries and veins, blocking blood flow in microcirculatory bed (MCB) vessels, disturbance of reological properties of blood. Noted vascular disturbances result in marked pathology of neurons and neuroglia.
