A volume-displacement plethysmograph to measure limb blood flow in the newborn infant. 1976

F Kleinberg, and L L Newmann, and L Dong, and R H Phibbs

An instrument is described that measures limb blood flow in newborn infants by venous occlusion plethysmography. The plethysmograph is filled with air and a pneumotachygraph measures the volume displaced during venous occlusion. The response of the system is linear for flows over the range 1 to 100 ml/min and the frequency response to a square wave pressure change is 22 Hz with a 95% response time of 0.5 second. The average flow in the forearm of 10 normal newborn infants was 5.9 ml/min per 100 ml of tissue.

D001811 Blood Volume Determination Method for determining the circulating blood volume by introducing a known quantity of foreign substance into the blood and determining its concentration some minutes later when thorough mixing has occurred. From these two values the blood volume can be calculated by dividing the quantity of injected material by its concentration in the blood at the time of uniform mixing. Generally expressed as cubic centimeters or liters per kilogram of body weight.
