THE ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF BLOOD

I. RELATIONSHIP TO ERYTHROCYTE CONCENTRATION

FREDERIC G. HIRSCH M.D.1, E. CLINTON TEXTER JR. M.D.1, LLOYD A. WOOD PH.D.1, WILLIAM C. BALLARD JR. M.E.1, FRANCIS E. HORAN PH.D.1, IRVING S. WRIGHT M.D.1, CONSTANCE FREY B.A.1, and DOROTHY STARR B.S.1

1. The factors influencing blood conductivity have been noted.

2. An accurate apparatus has been designed to measure blood and plasma conductivity.

3. A new cell has been designed to measure conductivity of blood.

4. Through studies on normal blood before and after dilution, a correlation has been shown to exist between blood conductivity and the red cell count.

5. The form factor for normal human red cells has been determined to be 1.393.

6. A mathematical equation is presented relating red cell count with conductivity for normal blood.

See PDF for Equation

7. The factor C on the basis of 33 determinations has been calculated to be 10.80.
