Abstract

ObjectiveTo investigate the changing behavior of cats' vital signs and death factors after craniocerebral missile wound in the environme nt of high temperature and humidity. MethodsA total of 32 hy brid cats were randomly divided into four groups and respectively put into the f ollowing environments after wound, ie, Group A at 25℃ with relative humidity (R H) of 50%, Group B at 35℃ with RH 85%, Group C at 38℃ with RH 90% and Group D at 40℃ with RH 95%. Then, blood pressure, pulse, respiratory frequency and body temperature were recorded every 10 minutes for six hours. Results The vital signs of normal gunshot wound group during the experiment were stable, while body temperature, respiratory frequency and heart rate of cats in each group were significantly different at the same time point with the increa se of temperature and humidity ( P
