Abstract
The blood-volume was measured and the central venous pressure monitored in sixteen patients in a state of shock, with a view to assessing the relative merits of these two methods. Blood-volume measurements indicated that after circulatory upset the volume of blood required to maintain a satisfactory circulation often exceeded the predicted " normal " volume. Monitoring of central venous pressure did not always reveal alterations in blood-volume, but provided a useful means of assessing the circulatory needs, and the safety of rapid intravenous infusion.
