Cardiac Output and Central Blood Volume as a Function of Body Weight in the Baboon.
Abstract
The relationship between cardiac output and central blood volume as a function of body weight was investigated in tranquilized adult baboons. Cardiac output was determined by the dye dilution method. Central blood volume was calculated as the product of cardiac output, and mean transit time. It was concluded, that weight raised to the .62 power offers a slight improvement in comparing cardiac outputs between animals of different sizes. A simple weight index for central blood volume should be a satisfactory expression for the parameter.
