[LOGNORMAL-NLSQ-technique. Evaluation of a new mathematical method for determining blood volume]

Abstract:
This paper describes the investigation of a new mathematical method of calculating blood volume. The new method determines the blood volume by calculating the product of the mean circulation transit time. The mean transit time is calculated from the body transport function. To examine the accuracy of the LOGNORMAL-NLSQ technique, 45 concentration time curves were measured in an in vitro recirculation model with variable clearance. The calculated volume was 4% smaller than the actual volume. This may be attributed to the functional dead space within the model, and is tolerable for clinical situations. The LOGNORMAL-NLSQ technique might acquire considerable importance in future, especially since it provides accurate results very quickly.
