Although blood viscosity varies in relation to shear rate, hematocrit, and temperature, equipment is now available with which it may be measured in respect to each of these variables. A simple, clinically practical technique for such measurement is presented. Blood from 60 normal subjects was adjusted to hematocrits 0, 20, 40, 60, and 80, and the viscosity-shear rate relationships measured at 37.0, 32.0, 27.0, and 22.0 C. The data obtained are presented as a reference for future studies using this method. Technical details are discussed and some deserving areas of application are considered.
shear rate; cone-plate viscometer; hematocrit-viscosity relationships; blood, plasma; hematocrit; temperature; blood flow impedance; perfusion; shock; oliguria; dyspnea; coma; heart surgery; blood rheology; metabolism
