The paper followed hemodynamic changes in the rabbit developing after a complete occlusion of inferior vena cava (VCI) below or between branching of the renal veins. Experimental lung edema induced 14 days after the VCI occlusion served as a standard load. In all groups there was a development of massive lung edema within 10-20 minutes with similar hemodynamic changes as in the control group, where there was only the lung edema without changes in the internal diameter of VCI. The experiment indicate a rapid adaption of the organism, as suggested in the works of Moretz.
