Hemoglobin-Dilution Method: Effect of Measurement Errors on Vascular Volume Estimation

Table 3

Statistical measures of LN distributions for initial volume estimations when multiple measurements are made on a sample.

Measurement (s)	BV (l); X / S	% error; / S	PV (l); X / S	% error; / S	RCV (l); X / S	% error; / S
Single	5.02 / 1.09	−8.4 to +8.8	3.01 / 1.06	−5.5 to +5.9	1.97 / 1.27	−21 to +27
Duplicate	5 / 1.06	−5.8 to +6.2	3 / 1.04	−4.0 to +4.1	1.98 / 1.18	−15 to +18
