On the treatment of intestinal obstruction. Gosset, Binet, Dr. Petit-Dutaillis (Presse méd., 1928, No. 2)

Experimental studies by mostly American authors have shown that infusion of hypertonic NaCl solution into animals with intestinal obstruction can prolong animal life up to 28-30 days. Based on these data, Proff. Gosset and Binet and Dr. Petit-Dutaillis used infusion of this solution in 2 cases, in one of which the patient, after surgical removal of the obstruction, threatened death from the strongest intoxication, intravenous injection of 10% NaCl solution led to his real "resurrection", and in another the phenomena of intoxication were prevented by using NaCl from the first day.
