The electrical-impedance method of W. G. Kubicek et al. provides a convenient non-invasive method for the monitoring of stroke volume and cardiac output in patients with normal hearts. To employ the electrical-impedance method for the measurement of cardiac output in patients on haemodialysis where a wide range of haematocrits may be encountered, a knowledge of the relationship between the resistivity and haematocrit of blood is required. A linear least-squares relationsip has been determined for human blood at 37 degree C and 100 kHz over the haematocrit range from 14 to 45%.
