Doronina, in an experiment on dogs and in clinic in 30 patients, determined the minute blood volume by the Grolman method. She found that in peritonitis despite a drop in circulating blood mass the minute volume is maintained at an elevated or optimal level. Complete normalisation of cardiac output and concentrations occurred by the 17th-20th day of the disease. This work appears to be the only one, and we regard it as important and original. However, our results of studying myocardial contractile function, regional circulation and some aspects of cardiac muscle metabolism are in contradiction with some conclusions of I.K. Doronina.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
