Abstract

To test the effect of hemorrhage on survival following wholebody exposure to a supralethal dose of radiation, three groups of dogs were bled 25% of their estimated blood volume. In group 1, bleeding was accomplished immediately before irradiation; in groups 2 and 3, 30 min and 48 hr, respectively, following irradiation. No significant alterations in the course of acute radiation sickness or survival time (LD100) were observed.
