Blood-volume: a commentary.

نویسنده

چکیده

Under physiological conditions and on average, the total volume of blood in the circulation is constant. The total blood volume (BV) and the separate volumes of plasma and erythrocytes vary according to climatic conditions, in pregnancy and in the presence of disease. Such changes can have clinical significance although they are rarely revealed in common clinical practice because of a lack of availability of accurate, cheap and simple techniques for the measurement of BV. Diminution of BV may occur under intensive-care regimes and is life-threatening; acute exposure to a hot climate leads to an expansion of plasma volume and a corresponding fall in the circulating haemoglobin level. The same changes occur in normal pregnancy and are, perhaps, exaggerated in the tropics. Failure of expansion of PV in pregnancy has adverse effects on the foetus. New investigations in Singapore of BV in health, disease and pregnancy seem to be desirable now that people, including pregnant women, move frequently between a hot climate and a cold environment provided by air-conditioning.

Commentary on 'Current computational models do not reveal the importance of the nervous system in long-term control of arterial pressure'.

Arterial pressure is regulated over long periods of time by neural, hormonal and local control mechanisms, which ultimately determine the total blood volume and how it is distributed between the various vascular compartments of the circulation. A full understanding of the complex interplay of these mechanisms can be greatly facilitated by the use of mathematical models. In 1967, Guyton and Cole...

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...
