II. Physiology
- Blood Volume
- Child: 80-90 ml/kg (Blood Volume is 8-9% of body weight)
- Adult: 70 ml/kg (Blood Volume is 7% of body weight)
- Blood Distribution
- Venous circuit contains 60-70% of the Blood Volume
- Venous Vasoconstriction is a key mechanism to stabilize Blood Pressure in fluid loss
- Arteries and arterioles hold 15% of Blood Volume
- Capillaries hold 5% of Blood Volume
- Venous circuit contains 60-70% of the Blood Volume
