Experimental studies in dogs were performed to develop a model simulating clinical patients with penetrating wounds of the major abdominal vessels who develop sudden cardiac arrest following laparotomy and decompression of an acute massive hemoperitoneum. Hypovolemic dogs with a saline-distended tense abdomen and major arterial bleeding after laparotomy develop a sudden deterioration of cardiac function despite raped blood infusion, thus simulating the clinical problem. However, thoracic aortic occlusion before laparotomy and until control of distal arterial bleeding prevented such a cardiovascular collapse. Increased intra-abdominal pressure it itself was determental to cardiovascular function; its sudden release by laparotomy was associated with an improvement in cardiovascular function. An approach of thoracic aortic control before laparotomy is recommended in patients with acute massive hemoperitoneum who remain hypotensive before laparotomy.
