Estimates blood volume from body weight and a clinician-selected blood-volume coefficient.
Formula
value = weight * coefficient; litres = value/1000
What this calculator does
Estimates blood volume from body weight and a clinician-selected blood-volume coefficient.
Clinical use
This is an estimate and should not be treated as a directly measured circulating blood volume.
Important limitations
Keeping the coefficient visible avoids hiding a population assumption inside the result.
