Prediction of blood volume in normal human adults

SB Nadler, JU Hidalgo, T Bloch - Surgery, 1962 - surgjournal.com
The circulating blood volumes in 155 normal adult men and women were determined by the
I 131 HSA method. The measured volumes were plotted against body weight, surface area,
and the height cubed-body mass formulas. Significant statistical improvement was attained
when the data were plotted against predicted volumes based upon computer-corrected
surface area and height cubed-body mass formulas. Both computer-corrected formulas yield
the same prediction data when sex, height, and weight are the only parameters used. The …
