To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A sharp rise in the pulse rate may occur in the second twenty- four hours, the rate sometimes reaching 130-140. This is often an accompani- ment of acute dilatation of the stomach, and indeed a rapidly rising pulse may be the first noticeable symptom of this complication and should be taken as a danger signal. With marked intestinal distention the pulse will usually be rapid, but in these cases the change will be gradual and not as sudden as in dilatation of the stomach. In other complications ...the pulse rate follows the temperature fluctuations more or less closely, except that in cases of general peritonitis a rising pulse will often be associated with a dropping temperature in the terminal stages. As a general rule a dropping pulse is a favorable sign in cases of infection, even though the temperature remains high, and a favorable prognosis can be given in such cases, since the temperature will follow the pulse within a day or two, the improvement in the pulse rate being an index of the increased resistance of the patient.
