Experimental protocols. All rabbits were anesthetized, intubated femoral artery and vein in right-hind limbs. The soft tissues of rabbits’ left-hinds were injured by a steel-ball shooting, and were exsanguinated until shock, then bundled with rubber tourniquets and treated with different temperature (5 ± 1 °C, 10 ± 1 °C and 20 ± 1 °C, respectively) for 4 h. Then animals were monitored for 6 h until the end of the experiment
