✦ Synopsis

This paper describes a reliable multiple sample Evans Blue dye dilution technique and a Pascal program which computes plasma and blood volume on the basis of this technique. The program performs needed corrections and dye disappearance curve fitting. It provides menudriven facilities for data correction, graphic display of the dye disappearance curve, and print-out of all the involved data. Means + S.E.M. for three plasma volume determinations in each of six resting subjects were: 3239 + % ml, 3189 + 81 ml, and 3187 + 102 ml. The differences were not statistically significant.
