  • Title: Blood volume in cardiac decompensation; determinations by use of radiochromium.
    Author: REILLY WA, FRENCH RM, LAU FY, SCOTT KG, WHITE WE.
    Journal: Calif Med; 1954 Oct; 81(4):256-8. PubMed ID: 13199703.
    Abstract:
    RADIOCHROMIUM HAS THESE ADVANTAGES FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF WHOLE BLOOD VOLUME: it remains in the erythrocytes many hours; it can be measured easily and accurately; the amount of radiation from it is very low.As measured by the radiochromium method, the whole blood volume of normal patients was determined to be 65.6 cc. +/- 5.95 cc. per kilogram of body weight or 2.49 +/- 0.28 liters per square meter of body surface. In a majority of a series of patients with heart disease, hypervolemia was found during right ventricular failure but not in those having left ventricular failure or mitral stenosis alone.
