ABSTRACT:
The blood volume in a soft-shell venous reservoir is measured by immersing the reservoir in a fluid and measuring the displacement of that fluid, either by measuring a liquid level in an overflow tube or by measuring the temperature-compensated gas pressure if the displaced fluid is a gas in a sealed container. Equipment operable from outside the container to measure the reservoir or to expel air therefrom is also disclosed.
