Values are mean (S.D.).

  • 3-a The volumes (V) of the central (C), rapidly equilibrating (fast) nondistributive (ND-F), and slowly equilibrating nondistributive (ND-S) circuits and the rapidly equilibrating (fast) (T-F) and slowly equilibrating (T-S) tissues, and VSS, which equals the sum of all volumes.

  • 3-b The clearances (Cl) of the rapidly equilibrating (fast) nondistributive (ND-F) and slowly equilibrating nondistributive (ND-S) circuits and the rapidly equilibrating (fast) (T-F) and slowly equilibrating (T-S) tissues, ClE, and ΣCl, which equals the ICG (dye dilution) CO determined at the moment of marker injection.

  • 3-c Correlated with CO (p < .05).

  • 3-d Significantly different from normovolemic control (p < .05), as determined by Fisher's LSD test.

  • 3-e Significantly different from volume loaded (p < .05), as determined by Fisher's LSD test.

  • 3-f Significantly different from mildly hypovolemic (p < .05), as determined by Fisher's LSD test.
