Effects of contrast media on circulating blood volume

  • 1. Hopital Cardiologique de Lyon, 69 (France)

Description

Changes in the circulating blood volume following injection of different contrast media and at different sites have been measured in the dog. The results confirm that osmoreceptors in the right atrium play a role for changes in blood volume following injection of a contrast medium. The differential response to individual agents was mainly a function of their osmolality. Atropine appears to moderate the changes. (Auth.)
