Translocation of body fluids from one compartment to another, such as from the vascular to the interstitial compartments. Fluid shifts are associated with profound changes in vascular permeability and WATER-ELECTROLYTE IMBALANCE. The shift can also be from the lower body to the upper body as in conditions of weightlessness.

Effects of feeding frequency and voluntary salt intake on fluid and electrolyte regulation in athletic horses. (1/48)

The effect of feeding frequency and voluntary sodium intake (VSI) on fluid shifts and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) were studied at rest and after exercise in six athletic horses. The horses were fed twice a day (2TD) and six times a day (6TD) for 25 days for each protocol, according to a changeover design. VSI was measured by weighing each horse's salt block daily. Feeding 2TD or 6TD caused no major alterations in fluid shifts, but in the 2TD treatment there was a postprandial increase in plasma protein concentration and osmolality that lasted <1 h. PAC and VSI were not affected by feeding frequency. VSI ranged from 0 to 62 mg x kg body weight-1 x day-1 and caused significant alterations in PAC. At VSI <26 mg x kg body weight-1 x day-1, a diurnal rhythm for PAC was noted. Water intake, fecal concentrations of sodium and potassium, and packed cell volume during exercise were influenced by VSI. The response to exercise did not differ between treatments. In conclusion, VSI, but not feeding frequency, has significant effects on fluid and electrolyte regulation in athletic horses.  (+info)

Measurement of fluid shift in CAPD patients using segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis. (2/48)

OBJECTIVE: To determine, using segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), the characteristics of fluid shift of each body segment in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients during and after peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution exchange. DESIGN: Observational study with repeated measurements of bioelectrical impedance, which is inversely related to tissue fluid content. PATIENTS: Thirteen clinically stable CAPD patients. METHODS: Bioelectrical impedance was measured at frequencies of 5, 50, 250, and 500 kHz in each body segment four times: (1) before and (2) after drainage of dialysate, and (3) at 1 hour and (4) at 2 hours after exchange of new 1.5% dextrose PD solution. RESULTS: Impedance of both arms was significantly increased at 1 hour post exchange at all frequencies. In the trunk, impedance at all frequencies increased significantly after drainage, decreased significantly at 1 hour post exchange, and then increased again for the next hour without significance. Impedance of both legs showed a decreasing tendency at all frequencies during and after exchange. Net calculated water volume changes between the time before drainage and 2 hours post exchange were -0.5 L in the trunk, -0.25 L in both arms, +0.47 L in both legs, -0.28 L in total. The change in body weight between the time before drainage and 2 hours post exchange was -0.21 kg, on average, and significantly correlated with total net calculated water volume change (p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS: Each body segment of the CAPD patient has its own characteristic pattern of fluid shift in response to PD solution exchange or dwell. Segmental BIA may be a useful tool for understanding the physiological changes in fluid shift in CAPD patients.  (+info)

Effects of the sitting position on the distribution of blood volume in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures. (3/48)

The use of the sitting position in neurosurgery is often associated with decreased arterial pressure (MAP) and stroke volume index (SVI). A shift in blood from the intra- to the extrathoracic compartment may be responsible for this cardiovascular response. However, little is known of the amount of shift in blood volume after transfer from the supine to the sitting position. Therefore, we measured simultaneously changes in intrathoracic blood volume (ITBV) caused by a change in body position in anaesthetized patients. Measurements of cardiac index (CI), ITBV, pulmonary (PBV) and total circulating (TBVcirc) blood volumes were performed in the supine and sitting position. CI, ITBV, PBV and TBVcirc were measured using a thermodye dilution technique. Fluid input was restricted to 14 ml kg-1 before induction of anaesthesia. Change in body position caused a significant decrease in ITBV and was accompanied by a significant decrease in CI, SVI and MAP. Changes in ITBV correlated (r = 0.78) with changes in SVI. Thus a change in blood volume distribution between the intra- and extrathoracic compartment occurred after a change from the supine to the sitting position. Indicator dilution enables quantification of this shift and may be helpful in guiding fluid therapy in selected patients.  (+info)

Application of a hybrid CFD-PBPK nasal dosimetry model in an inhalation risk assessment: an example with acrylic acid. (4/48)

The available inhalation toxicity information for acrylic acid (AA) suggests that lesions to the nasal cavity, specifically olfactory degeneration, are the most sensitive end point for developing a reference concentration (RfC). Advances in physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling, specifically the incorporation of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models, now make it possible to estimate the flux of inhaled chemicals within the nasal cavity of experimental species, specifically rats. The focus of this investigation was to apply an existing CFD-PBPK hybrid model in the estimation of an RfC to determine the impact of incorporation of this new modeling technique into the risk assessment process. Information provided in the literature on the toxicity and mode of action for AA was used to determine the risk assessment approach. A comparison of the approach used for the current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) RfC with the approach using the CFD-PBPK hybrid model was also conducted. The application of the CFD-PBPK hybrid model in a risk assessment for AA resulted in an RfC of 79 ppb, assuming a minute ventilation of 13.8 l/min (20 m(3)/day) in humans. This value differs substantially from the RfC of 0.37 ppb estimated for AA by the U.S. EPA before the PBPK modeling advances became available. The difference in these two RfCs arises from many factors, with the main difference being the species selected (mouse vs. rat). The choice to conduct the evaluation using the rat was based on the availability of dosimetry data in this species. Once these data are available in the mouse, an assessment should be conducted using this information. Additional differences included the methods used for estimating the target tissue concentration, the uncertainty factors (UFs) applied, and the application of duration and uncertainty adjustments to the internal target tissue dose rather than the external exposure concentration.  (+info)

Pathophysiology of fluid imbalance. (5/48)

Fluid imbalance can arise due to hypovolemia, normovolemia with maldistribution of fluid, and hypervolemia. Trauma is among the most frequent causes of hypovolemia, with its often profuse attendant blood loss. Another common cause is dehydration, which primarily entails loss of plasma rather than whole blood. The consequences of hypovolemia include reduction in circulating blood volume, lower venous return and, in profound cases, arterial hypotension. Myocardial failure may result from increased myocardial oxygen demand in conjunction with reduced tissue perfusion. Finally, anaerobic metabolism due to reduced perfusion may produce acidosis and, together with myocardial dysfunction, precipitate multi-organ failure. The splanchnic organs are particularly susceptible to the deleterious effects of hypotension and hypovolemic shock, and these effects, depending upon their duration and severity, may be irreversible despite restoration of normovolemia by fluid administration. Patient monitoring in the intensive care unit typically relies upon central venous pressure devices, whereas the primary focus in the operating theater is blood volume deficit estimated from suction devices. However, estimates of intraoperative blood loss can be inaccurate, potentially leading to inappropriate fluid management. Normovolemia with maldistribution of fluid can be encountered in shock-specific microcirculatory disorders secondary to hypovolemia, as well as pain and stress. Consequent vasoconstriction and reduced tissue driving pressure, as well as leukocyte and platelet adhesion, and liberation of humoral and cellular mediators, may impair or abolish blood flow in certain areas. The localized perfusion deficit may contribute to multi-organ failure. Choice of resuscitation fluid may be important in this context, since some evidence suggests that at least certain colloids might be helpful in diminishing post-ischemic microvascular leukocyte adherence. Excessive volume administration may lead to fluid overload and associated impairment of pulmonary function. However, entry of fluid into the lungs may also be facilitated by increased vascular permeability in certain pathologic conditions, especially sepsis and endotoxemia, even in the absence of substantially rising hydrostatic pressure. Another condition associated with elevated vascular permeability is systemic capillary leak syndrome. The chief goal of fluid management, based upon current understanding of the pathophysiology of fluid imbalance, should be to ensure adequate oxygen delivery by optimizing blood oxygenation, perfusion pressure, and circulating volume.  (+info)

Volume kinetics of glucose solutions given by intravenous infusion. (6/48)

Glucose solutions given by intravenous (i.v.) infusion exert volume effects that are governed by the amount of fluid administered and also by the metabolism of the glucose. To understand better how the body handles glucose solutions, two volume kinetic models were developed in which consideration was given to the osmotic fluid shifts that accompany the metabolism of glucose. These models were fitted to data obtained when 21 volunteers who were given approximately 1 litre of glucose 2.5 or 5% or Ringer's solution (control) over 45 min. The maximum haemodilution was similar for all three fluids, but it decreased more rapidly when glucose had been infused. The volume of distribution for the infused glucose molecules was larger (approximately 12 litres) than for the infused fluid, which amounted to (mean (SEM)) 3.7 (0.3) (glucose 2.5%), 2.8 (0.2) (glucose 5%), and 2.5 (0.2) litres (Ringer). Fluid accumulated in a remote (cellular) body fluid space when glucose had been administered (approximately 0.2 and 0.4 litres, respectively), while expansion of an intermediate fluid space (7.1 (1.3) litres) could be demonstrated in 33% of the Ringer experiments. In conclusion, kinetic models were developed which consider the relationship between the glucose metabolism and the disposition of intravenous fluid. One of them, in which infused fluid expands two instead of three body fluid spaces, was successfully fitted to data on blood glucose and blood haemoglobin obtained during infusions of 2.5 and 5% glucose.  (+info)

Intra- and post-dialytic changes of haemoglobin concentrations in non-anaemic haemodialysis patients. (7/48)

BACKGROUND: Non-anaemic haemodialysis (HD) patients are potentially more prone to the adverse effects of ultrafiltration-induced haemoconcentration. No study, however, has assessed the effects of dialytic session on haemoglobin (Hb) levels in these patients. METHODS: The levels of Hb and total protein before, at the end (T0) and up to 120 min (T120) after the third HD session of the week were compared in non-anaemic (Hb >13 g/dl, n = 14, NOR) and anaemic (Hb = 11-12 g/dl, n = 18, LOW) HD patients. RESULTS: The intradialytic weight loss was similar in the two groups (4.0 +/- 0.9 and 4.1 +/- 0.9% body weight). During the treatment, Hb levels increased to the same extent in both groups (from 14.4 +/- 1.2 to 16.3 +/- 1.9 g/dl in NOR, and from 11.4 +/- 0.8 to 12.7 +/- 0.9 g/dl in LOW) in the presence, presumably, of a smaller plasma volume in NOR, whereas the increment of total protein was greater in NOR (from 7.1 +/- 0.2 to 9.6 +/- 0.5 g/dl) than in LOW (from 7.3 +/- 0.6 to 8.7 +/- 0.8 g/dl) (P < 0.0001). At T120, the Hb decline in NOR was almost double that measured in LOW (-9.2 +/- 3.0 vs -4.7 +/- 2.4%, P < 0.001). Consequently, Hb concentration did not differ from the pre-dialytic value in NOR (P = 0.10), but persisted higher in LOW (P < 0.005). The extent of the post-dialytic decrement of Hb was inversely related to the total protein values at T0 (r = -0.547, P = 0.0012). CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that in NOR: (i) the extent of intradialytic increment of Hb is limited by a greater intradialytic plasma refilling; (ii) the greater plasma refilling persists after the end of dialysis, with the restoration of pre-dialytic Hb levels within the initial 2 h; and (iii) the force driving this phenomenon resides mainly in the larger changes of total protein concentration.  (+info)

Continuous haematocrit monitoring during intradialytic hypotension: precipitous decline in plasma refill rates. (8/48)

BACKGROUND: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) during ultrafiltration remains a major source of haemodialysis related morbidity, despite technological advances including continuous haematocrit monitoring and automated blood volume controlled dialysis machines. We hypothesized that studying the relationship between ultrafiltration rate and plasma refill rate (UFR, PRR) before and during IDH would provide insight into its mechanism and possible prevention. METHODS: We retrospectively identified 17 patients (mean age 50 years) with IDH treated solely by turning off the ultrafiltration, none having received hypertonic saline, mannitol or albumin. All patients had archived data for continuous haematocrits, UFR, ultrafiltration goal, vital signs and symptoms. We used the Crit-Line III optical haematocrit monitor to calculate the PRR for intervals preceding and during IDH. RESULTS: Prior to IDH the PRR was 1360+/-550 ml/h; which was less than the UFR of 1471+/-602 ml/h and was associated with a 4.4% rise in haematocrit. However, during IDH the PRR was dramatically lower (P<0.001): only 242+/-151 ml/h. The PRR was not correlated (P>0.05) with the absolute, per cent change or rate of rise in haematocrit, UFR, ultrafiltration goal or heart rate. CONCLUSIONS: On-line haematocrit monitoring allows for the calculation of plasma volume changes, UFR and PRR, and the mismatch in those rates helps explain the physiology of hypotension episodes. The precipitous fall in PRR during sudden IDH supports activation of the cardiodepressor Bezold-Jarisch reflex. As both the UFR and PRR variables can change during a single dialysis session, this supports the use of devices with automated continuous adjustments of the UFR and suggests additional profiling methodologies.  (+info)

Fluid shifts, in a medical context, refer to the movement or redistribution of fluids between different compartments within the body. The human body is composed of two main fluid compartments: the intracellular fluid (ICF), which is present inside the cells, and the extracellular fluid (ECF), which is outside the cells. The ECF is further divided into interstitial fluid (present in the spaces between cells) and intravascular fluid (present within the blood vessels).

Fluid shifts can occur due to various physiological and pathological conditions, such as changes in hydrostatic pressure, oncotic pressure, or permeability of the capillary membranes. These shifts can have significant impacts on various body systems, particularly the cardiovascular, respiratory, and renal systems. For example, fluid shifting from the intravascular space to the interstitial space can lead to edema (swelling), while fluid shifts into the alveoli in the lungs can cause pulmonary edema and impair breathing.

In a clinical setting, healthcare professionals monitor and manage fluid shifts through various strategies, such as administering intravenous fluids, using diuretics, or implementing mechanical ventilation, depending on the underlying cause and the specific effects of the fluid shift on the patient's condition.

"Coca" is a medication and plant extract that comes from the leaves of the Erythroxylon coca bush, which is native to South America. The active alkaloids in the leaves include cocaine and other related compounds. Coca leaves have been used for centuries by indigenous peoples in the Andean region for their mild stimulant effects and as a remedy for altitude sickness.

However, it's important to note that chewing coca leaves or using coca-based medications is not the same as using illicit forms of cocaine. The concentration of cocaine in coca leaves is relatively low, and traditional use does not typically lead to the severe psychological and physical effects associated with cocaine abuse.

In modern medicine, coca alkaloids are used in the form of purified cocaine for topical anesthesia in eye surgery and other medical procedures. However, the recreational use of cocaine is illegal and highly regulated due to its addictive properties and potential for harm.

Weightlessness simulation, also known as "zero-gravity" or "microgravity" simulation, is the reproduction of the condition in which people or objects appear to be weightless. This state can be achieved through various methods, including neutral buoyancy, which is simulating the feeling of weightlessness by immersing individuals in a fluid (usually water) with a density equal to their body, or reduced-gravity environments created using specialized equipment such as aircraft that fly in parabolic arcs to generate brief periods of weightlessness.

Another method for weightlessness simulation is through the use of virtual reality and other technology to create an illusion of weightlessness. This can be done by manipulating visual and auditory cues, as well as providing a haptic feedback system that simulates the sensation of movement in zero-gravity environments. These simulations are often used for training astronauts, researching the effects of weightlessness on the human body, and developing technologies for use in space.

Weightlessness, also known as zero gravity or microgravity, is a condition in which people or objects appear to be weightless. The effects of weightlessness on the human body are similar to those experienced during freefall.

This state can be achieved in various ways:

1. Freefall: This is the natural weightless state that occurs when an object is in free fall and accelerating towards the center of a celestial body such as Earth, but is not being affected by any other forces (like air resistance). During this state, the only force acting upon the object is gravity, which pulls everything towards the center of the planet. This is why astronauts experience weightlessness during space travel.

2. Neutral Buoyancy: In a fluid medium like water, an object can achieve neutral buoyancy when its weight equals the weight of the fluid it displaces. This creates a state where the object neither sinks nor floats, appearing to be weightless.

3. Specialized Equipment: Devices such as aircraft that fly in parabolic arcs can create short periods of weightlessness for training purposes or research. These flights involve climbing steeply, then diving towards the earth, creating a state of freefall and thus weightlessness.

Prolonged exposure to weightlessness can have significant effects on the human body, including muscle atrophy, bone loss, balance disorders, and changes in cardiovascular function.

"Space flight" is not a term that has a specific medical definition. However, in general, it refers to the act of traveling through space, outside of Earth's atmosphere, aboard a spacecraft. This can include trips to the International Space Station (ISS), lunar missions, or travel to other planets and moons within our solar system.

From a medical perspective, space flight presents unique challenges to the human body, including exposure to microgravity, radiation, and isolation from Earth's biosphere. These factors can have significant impacts on various physiological systems, including the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, sensory, and immune systems. As a result, space medicine has emerged as a distinct field of study focused on understanding and mitigating these risks to ensure the health and safety of astronauts during space flight.

Hindlimb suspension is a commonly used animal model in biomedical research, particularly in the study of muscle atrophy and disuse osteoporosis. In this model, the hindlimbs of rodents (such as rats or mice) are suspended using a tape or a harness system, which elevates their limbs off the ground and prevents them from bearing weight. This state of disuse leads to significant changes in the musculoskeletal system, including muscle atrophy, bone loss, and alterations in muscle fiber type composition and architecture.

The hindlimb suspension model is often used to investigate the mechanisms underlying muscle wasting and bone loss in conditions such as spinal cord injury, bed rest, and spaceflight-induced disuse. By understanding these mechanisms, researchers can develop potential therapeutic interventions to prevent or mitigate the negative effects of disuse on the musculoskeletal system.

Blood volume refers to the total amount of blood present in an individual's circulatory system at any given time. It is the combined volume of both the plasma (the liquid component of blood) and the formed elements (such as red and white blood cells and platelets) in the blood. In a healthy adult human, the average blood volume is approximately 5 liters (or about 1 gallon). However, blood volume can vary depending on several factors, including age, sex, body weight, and overall health status.

Blood volume plays a critical role in maintaining proper cardiovascular function, as it affects blood pressure, heart rate, and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout the body. Changes in blood volume can have significant impacts on an individual's health and may be associated with various medical conditions, such as dehydration, hemorrhage, heart failure, and liver disease. Accurate measurement of blood volume is essential for diagnosing and managing these conditions, as well as for guiding treatment decisions in clinical settings.

Water-electrolyte balance refers to the regulation of water and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate) in the body to maintain homeostasis. This is crucial for various bodily functions such as nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, fluid balance, and pH regulation. The body maintains this balance through mechanisms that control water intake, excretion, and electrolyte concentration in various body fluids like blood and extracellular fluid. Disruptions in water-electrolyte balance can lead to dehydration or overhydration, and imbalances in electrolytes can cause conditions such as hyponatremia (low sodium levels) or hyperkalemia (high potassium levels).

Body fluids refer to the various liquids that can be found within and circulating throughout the human body. These fluids include, but are not limited to:

1. Blood: A fluid that carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body via the cardiovascular system. It is composed of red and white blood cells suspended in plasma.
2. Lymph: A clear-to-white fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system, helping to remove waste products, bacteria, and damaged cells from tissues while also playing a crucial role in the immune system.
3. Interstitial fluid: Also known as tissue fluid or extracellular fluid, it is the fluid that surrounds the cells in the body's tissues, allowing for nutrient exchange and waste removal between cells and blood vessels.
4. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): A clear, colorless fluid that circulates around the brain and spinal cord, providing protection, cushioning, and nutrients to these delicate structures while also removing waste products.
5. Pleural fluid: A small amount of lubricating fluid found in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall, allowing for smooth movement during respiration.
6. Pericardial fluid: A small amount of lubricating fluid found within the pericardial sac surrounding the heart, reducing friction during heart contractions.
7. Synovial fluid: A viscous, lubricating fluid found in joint spaces, allowing for smooth movement and protecting the articular cartilage from wear and tear.
8. Urine: A waste product produced by the kidneys, consisting of water, urea, creatinine, and various ions, which is excreted through the urinary system.
9. Gastrointestinal secretions: Fluids produced by the digestive system, including saliva, gastric juice, bile, pancreatic juice, and intestinal secretions, which aid in digestion, absorption, and elimination of food particles.
10. Reproductive fluids: Secretions from the male (semen) and female (cervical mucus, vaginal lubrication) reproductive systems that facilitate fertilization and reproduction.

Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by excess fluid accumulation in the body tissues. It can affect any part of the body, but it's most commonly noticed in the hands, feet, ankles, and legs. Edema can be a symptom of various underlying medical conditions, such as heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease, or venous insufficiency.

The swelling occurs when the capillaries leak fluid into the surrounding tissues, causing them to become swollen and puffy. The excess fluid can also collect in the cavities of the body, leading to conditions such as pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs) or ascites (fluid in the abdominal cavity).

The severity of edema can vary from mild to severe, and it may be accompanied by other symptoms such as skin discoloration, stiffness, and pain. Treatment for edema depends on the underlying cause and may include medications, lifestyle changes, or medical procedures.

In medical terms, the leg refers to the lower portion of the human body that extends from the knee down to the foot. It includes the thigh (femur), lower leg (tibia and fibula), foot, and ankle. The leg is primarily responsible for supporting the body's weight and enabling movements such as standing, walking, running, and jumping.

The leg contains several important structures, including bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves, and joints. These structures work together to provide stability, support, and mobility to the lower extremity. Common medical conditions that can affect the leg include fractures, sprains, strains, infections, peripheral artery disease, and neurological disorders.

  • But as cars grew larger and traffic got worse, engineers began searching for a way to have the car "automatically" shift from one gear to another. (edmunds.com)
  • It's possible that a bad coil in itself could cause the car to jerk when shifting into gear, but any misfire bad enough to cause this kind of jerking will probably manifest as a noticeable engine shaking under other conditions as well. (ehow.com)
  • The purpose of this study is to model planar motion of flagella in groups to explore how collective motion may arise in three-dimensional fluid environments. (mdpi.com)
  • Substandard and falsified medical products are more likely to reach patients under certain conditions, including situations involving constrained access, weak regulatory capacity and poor governance.1 Supply-demand shifts (from ingredients to finished products), new distribution channels, fluid regulatory environments and overburdened regulators exacerbate the constraints on access.

  • Immediate fluid infusion failed to prevent hemorrhage-induced depression of cardiac output and diuresis. (silverchair.com)
  • Pleural effusions are accumulations of fluid within the pleural space. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Thoracentesis and pleural fluid analysis are often required to determine cause. (msdmanuals.com)
  • The fluid enters the pleural space from systemic capillaries in the parietal pleurae and exits via parietal pleural stomas and lymphatics. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Pleural fluid accumulates when too much fluid enters or too little exits the pleural space. (msdmanuals.com)
  • A dysfunction of the protein bestrophin results in abnormal fluid and ion transport by the RPE. (medscape.com)
  • Exudative effusions are caused by local processes that lead to increased capillary permeability, resulting in exudation of fluid, protein, cells, and other serum constituents. (msdmanuals.com)
  • If it is not, the fluid or air will not drain and your lungs can't re-expand. (medlineplus.gov)
  • A direct descendant of an earlier component called a fluid coupling, the torque converter offers the advantage of multiplying the turning power provided by the engine. (edmunds.com)

  • Volume overload and fluid congestion remain primary issues for patients with chronic heart failure. (nih.gov)
  • High competence is needed to manage fluid, electrolyte, and insulin therapy in patients with poorly controlled diabetes [ 1 ]. (springeropen.com)
  • Hands down the best primary fluid I have ever used. (amsoil.com)
  • Having a long drive home after working a rotating shift is statistically not in your best interest. (lifehack.org)
  • Fluids incapable of withstanding intense heat and shearing forces can break down, leading to damaging sludge, wear and poor shift quality. (amsoil.com)
  • While faster and cheaper, this procedure replaces less than half of the total fluid volume. (aaa.com)
  • On day 2, the ECF volume was 15.5 L, and twice as much of the infused fluid remained in the ECF space. (springeropen.com)
  • We have developed an equation system based on a fluid challenge with 0.9% saline followed by measurements of sodium and chloride that estimate the severity of the dehydration and also the fluid-induced shift of ECF volume into the cells. (springeropen.com)
  • The volume turnover model successfully predicted fluid shifts. (silverchair.com)
