PV determination by peripheral i. v. injection of ICG produced reliable and consistent results when a reactive hyperaemia was produced by a tourniquet prior to injection. Therefore, central venous injection of ICG may not be prerequisite for precise measurements of PV. The expected acute increase in PV after infusion of commonly used plasma expanders after cardiac surgery was not found.
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.
