A method is outlined for the determination of cardiac output by the injection of iodinated ('131) human serum albumin and continuous recording of the dilution curve. The calibration of the flow system by means of the final dilution and blood volume is discussed along with the possible application to an external measuring method. The results of eight dilution curves obtained from dogs are presented and the calculated cardiac outputs compared with the values measured by the rotameter method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
