We hypothesized that bone marrow failure after hemorrhagic shock might be secondary to impaired apoptosis regulation. Our objective was to assess the morphologic alterations and the rate of apoptosis in bone marrow after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. ⋯ There was an increase in bone marrow apoptosis after hemorrhagic shock. The type of resuscitation scheme used did influence bone marrow morphology.
