Implication

Strict volume control required for valid clearance-based flow estimates; leaves open applicability beyond healthy volunteers.

Key Points

To determine how variations in injection volume influence the intramuscular radiosodium clearance rate used to evaluate peripheral blood flow.
Conducted a physiological clearance study in six healthy young men (N=6).
Measured intramuscular radiosodium clearance rates while systematically altering the volume of the injected solution.
Intramuscular radiosodium clearance was sensitive to injected volume, with clearance rates uniformly increasing as injection volume decreased.
Quantitative effect sizes, variances, and p-values were not reported in the abstract, but the inverse clearance-to-volume relationship occurred consistently across all subjects.

Intervention

Changes in injection volume

Outcome

Intramuscular radiosodium clearance ratesurrogate

Rigid control of injection volume is necessary when using intramuscular radiosodium clearance for regional blood flow measurements.
