[Wider potentials for determining the circulating blood volume in clinical practice].

Methods of dilution of the dye T-1824 and electroplethysmography with the help of an apparatus for integral rheography of the body were used in 31 parallel determinations of the circulating blood volume. It was shown that in patients without pronounced disorders of hemodynamics and water-electrolytic state the second method is not inferior to the so-called "standard" method. The circulating blood volume was determined by the electroplethysmographic method with the N.M. Shestakov formula modified by the authors in patients with noncomplicated calculous cholecystitis. It was shown that the certain rate of the infusion therapy can maintain the preoperative level of volemia in the patients during operation.
