Background The combination of isoflurane anesthesia and mechanical ventilation reduces
urinary output and promotes redistribution of a crystalloid bolus into the extravascular space …

Objective We prospectively studied the agreement between transpulmonary aortic fiberoptic-
based and pulse dye densitometry (PDD) measurements of cardiac output and circulatory …

Plasma volume (PV) can be an important marker of health status and may affect the
interpretation of plasma biomarkers, but is rarely measured due to the complexity and time …

Potential overestimation of plasma volume (PV) determination by the conventional
indocyanine green (ICG) dilution method (PV-ICG) can occur when generalized capillary …

Objectives: To determine whether the initial distribution volume of glucose (IDVG) rather
than plasma volume or blood volume is correlated better with cardiac output during the 4 …

IMPLICATIONS: Routine cardiovascular variables immediately after major surgery cannot
predict the subsequent hypovolemic hypotension produced by the shift of the extracellular …

Background (1) To determine the optimal administration site and dose of indocyanine green
(ICG) for blood volume measurement using pulse spectrophotometry,(2) to assess the …

Objective We have reported that initial distribution volume of glucose indicates the central
extracellular fluid volume in the presence of fluid gain or loss. The purpose of this study was …

IMPLICATIONS: The initial distribution volume of glucose (IDVG) is supposed to reflect
effective circulating blood volume. We assessed the sensitivity of this method to a fluid …

A clinically important misinterpretation of cardiac preload or circulating blood volume could
cause serious consequences in critically ill patients. However, many physicians do not …
