Abstract
After intracardiac surgery for valvular heart disease, blood volume was lower and right atrial pressure was the same as, or higher than, preoperative values. A value for “venous blood volume” was derived by subtracting central blood volume (including, in this study, cardiopulmonary blood volume and blood in the aorta and central large arteries) from total blood volume. “Venous blood volume” was decreased proportionally more than central blood volume after operation.It is concluded that whole body venous tone is increased early after intracardiac operations and that there is some redistribution of blood in favor of the central blood volume.
