Fig. 4From: Accelerated lymph flow from infusion of crystalloid fluid during general anesthesiaBlood hemoglobin albumin (Hb-Alb) dilution difference. (A) The Hb-Alb dilution difference in anesthetized and awake subjects over time. Mean values. The standard deviation was large, approximately 0.05 for all data points (not shown). (B) The eta vector (L1 random effects parameter) for the relationship between the Hb-Alb dilution difference and Vc depending on sex. Each point is one experiment. Eta = 0 was approximately 3 L for males and 2 L for females. (C) The size of the central volume (Vc) versus the mean Hb-Alb dilution difference for each participant during the first hour of the studyBack to article page
