In critically ill patients, fluid infusion is aimed at increasing cardiac output and tissue
perfusion. However, it may contribute to fluid overload which may be harmful. Thus, volume …

Aim To evaluate the effects of canagliflozin on plasma volume, urinary glucose excretion
(UGE), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and additional …

The indocyanine green (ICG) dilution technique (DT) is frequently used for plasma volume
(PV) measurement. However, because of inadequate knowledge about the properties of this …

Background: In previous work, extravascular expansion was observed to be enhanced by
isoflurane anesthesia in sheep when a crystalloid bolus was administered. The aim of the …

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

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 …

The aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effect of CABG (coronary artery
bypass graft) surgery on the rates of synthesis of muscle protein, the positive acute-phase …

Background: Blood products derived from donors on medication can contain drugs which
might pose a risk for the recipients or influence the quality of the product itself. Material and …

Background Although haematocrit and haemoglobin value are concentrations, they are
commonly used to guide clinical decisions involving red cell and plasma volumes. A study …

Background The indocyanine green dilution method is one of the methods available to
estimate plasma volume, although some researchers have questioned the accuracy of this …
