We have developed mathematical models to represent the changes in volume of
fluid spaces associated with i.v. administration of a crystalloid solution.
Input data for parameter estimations were dilution of blood, measured as
reduction of blood haemoglobin concentration. The models were based on the
assumption that the body strives to maintain volume homeostasis of fluid
spaces and that the rate of restoration is a function of deviation from
resting volume. Two models were derived; the first had a single fluid space
into which fluid was administered and from which fluid left, the other
model had a second fluid space communicating with the first. These models
may be useful in the description and analysis of the effects of i.v. fluid
therapy.
