A new white paper from Nova contains abstracts of six recent clinical studies of estimated plasma volume (ePV). The studies validate ePV as a simple, useful tool for assessing fluid balance and disease prognosis on critically ill patients including those with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), acute congestive heart failure (ACHF), chronic systolic heart failure, and fever.
Stat Profile Prime Plus is a comprehensive blood gas critical care analyzer that provides up to 24 tests including estimated plasma volume along with pH, gases, electrolytes, metabolites, and hematology in about one minute on samples as small as 90 µL.
