Abstract

An arm-to-tongue circulation time with 3 c.c. of 15 per cent sodium fluorescein has been described. It is different from those previously reported in that the tongue has been used as an end point. Careful complete histories and physical examinations were obtained on normal patients to establish a valid control series. The circulation times on fifty normal individuals gave results which very closely approximated those previously reported with other drugs. The results on the twenty-five patients with congestive heart failure also closely approximated those previously reported but were outstanding in that there were no failures noted with sodium fluorescein.
