A new method for determining the circulation time throughout the vascular system

The Cardiac Output and Other Measurements of the Circulation in Coarctation of the Aorta 1

“…They are Cases A. C. and W. G. in his paper (22). 6 Mascosol, a solution described by Spier, Wright, and Saylor (14) containing magnesium sulphate, calcium gluconate, and sodium chloride, was supplied to us for these studies by The Nepera Chemical Co., Inc., of Yonkers, N. Y. consumption increased slightly at the time of the second estimation but the basal metabolic rate was unchanged (6 per cent and 3 per cent, respectively). Both the arteriovenous oxygen difference and the cardiac index were unchanged.…”

Evidence for General Distribution of Peripheral Resistance in Coarctation of the Aorta: Report of Three Cases

“…The circulation time was measured on two occasions by intravenous injections of a solution of magnesium sulphate and calcium gluconate (7). Fair agreement was obtained between the two measurements (Table I).…”
