    Abstract:
    Effect of exposure to acute hypoxia and hypoxia for 2 weeks on the skin temperature and content of glycogen of frostbitten feet in rabbits were observed. The results showed that the skin temperatures and content of glycogen were decreased in frostbite at normoxia (FN) group frostbite during acute hypoxia (FAH) group and frostbite hypoxia for 2 weeks (FH-2w) group. After treatment with warm chlorhexidine immersion the skin temperature and glycogen content in treated feet of FN and FAH group were increased, as compared with untreated feet. However, there was no difference between treated and untreated feet in FH-2w group, suggesting that there may be severe disturbance of blood circulation on frostbitten feet under this condition.
