Untitled Adult Patient Blood Volume

[Pete Dickens]

Hallo,

quick and easy question

What is the simulated blood volume of U.A.P?

Textbook values would have it at about 70ml/kg, making U.A.P about 5.4litres

Thanks

In order to better answer your question, please define what you are seeking. What do you mean UAP? After clarifying what information you are seeking, I can ensure to pass on the correct information.

Well that would be Untitled Adult Patient (as in the post title)
HPS version 6.4
Thanks

Hi Pete
You are corrrect based on a 70 kg patient (which is what UAP has)

Kevin,

thanks for the reply

Does that mean that changing a patients weight changes their simulated blood volume?

i.e does altering Standard Man from 70kg to 90kg change the simulated blood volume from 4900ml to 6300ml?

Thanks

Great question-no it does not change the simulated volume- only difference is drug metabolism
