Circulating Blood Volume in Various Respiratory Diseases

Circulating Coronary Blood Volume.

• The development of catheterization and indicator dilution techniques has made it possible to measure the volume of circulating blood within many organs in the intact animal. Hirche and Lochner injected measured amounts of dye into the coronary arteries of dogs and recorded the subsequent time course of dye concentration in blood from the coronary sinus. From this single curve both coronary bl...

Circulating blood volume in burn resuscitation.

Circulating blood volume (CBV) was prospectively measured in patients with almost solely smoke inhalation injury (Group I: 10 patients) and in patients with severe cutaneous burn (Group B: 6 patients) consecutively until 96 hours after injury, to assess the effect of either injury on intravascular volume status by the pulse dye-densitometry method. All participants were treated by an ordinary f...

The Circulating Blood Volume in Diabetic Acidosis.

The clinical evidences of dehydration which are present during severe acidosis in diabetes mellitus raises the question as to whether alterations may occur in the volume of the circulating blood. Such alterations, if present, would influence the apparent concentration of various blood constituents in acidosis and would be of pathological significance in several particulars. It seems likely that...

On-line control of circulating blood volume.

We developed an experimental method which enabled continuous determination of the circulatory blood volume, when the blood volume was subjected to alterations. The blood volume was modified by a servo system to control transfer of the blood between an external reservoir and the cardiovascular system. Possible application of our method to the analysis of circulatory responses to blood volume cha...
