Capillary and Venous pressure in man1

Effect of Venous Pressure on Mean Capillary Pressure and Vascular Resistance in the Intestine.

• It is well known that capillary pressure depends to a considerable degree upon venous pressure. Bayliss and Starling pointed out the importance of this reationship in 1894, but few studies have dealt with its quantitative aspects. Krogh et al. found that capillary filtration in the human forearm was influenced greatly by venous pressure, although changes of the latter were quantitatively less...

Tissue Pressure (intracutaneous, Subcutaneous, and Intramuscular) as Related to Venous Pressure, Capillary Filtration, and Other Factors.

Evaluation of Hemoglobin Concentration of Cord, Capillary and Venous sampling in Neonates

Abstract Background Anemia is one of the most common abnormalities in pediatric medicine. Considerable differences are seen in the peripheral blood indices of infants in developing countries. The aim of this study was to determine and compared blood hemoglobin concentration in three sites of sampling in neonate. Materials and Methods 1600 term and preterm new infant in three sites of sampli...

The influence of the pulmonary arterial pressure on the pulmonary capillary venous pressure in man.

In two cases with a well-defined pulmonary capillary venous pressure pulse, the lobular pulmonary artery was occluded with a balloon while the pulmonary capillary venous pressure was registered. There was no change in the tracing obtained. In two other cases positive pressure respiration almost completely damped out the pulmonary capillary venous pressure variations, but the mean pressure remai...

Determination of Central Venous Pressure from Intraocular Pressure

Background: In many clinical situations, knowledge of central venous pressure (CVP) is important.  Measurement of CVP is not always possible. Objective: To determine if intraocular pressure (IOP) can be used as an estimate for CVP. Methods: IOP and CVP were measured concurrently in 30 candidates of coronary artery bypass graft surgery.  Those with carotid artery or jugular venous diseases as we...
