Measurement of Central Blood Volume by External Monitoring

Measurement of central blood volume by external monitoring.

W ITH EXTENSIVE application of the Hamilton-Stewart dj'e-dilution technique for measurement of central blood volume (CBV), it has become apparent that the method may be insensitive to small but significant changes in volume. Reasons for this, presumably, rest with the rather large volume measured and the inherent errors of the technique. 1 Using a peripheral vein injection , the volume measured...

Optimized Blood Volume Monitoring during Hemodialysis Procedure based on Ultrasonic Speed Measurement

Fast reduction of blood water volume due to ultra-filtration via hemodialysis machine and critical threshold of blood water volume can result in clinical complications such as hypotension. When blood water volume reduces during hemodialysis process, the concentration of blood forming elements will increase. One of the methods for the monitoring of the concentration changes is ultrasonic speed m...

The measurement of cerebral blood flow by external isotope counting.

The Kety-Schmidt nitrous oxide method (2) is presently the only well-accepted technique for the quantitative estimation of human cerebral perfusion. In spite of theoretical objections (3) and practical limitations it has provided a wealth of otherwise unobtainable information. The procedure is tedious, however, and has remained predominantly a laboratory research tool. Efforts have continued to...
