Several techniques for hemodynamic evaluation require an abrupt intra venous injection of a labeled compound. This approach has been used in external monitoring techniques for measuring cardiac output, in attempts to measure coronary blood flow and in several techniques for assessing cerebral circulation. The following abrupt injection technique deposits labeled material as rapidly as possible into the right heart, so that subsequent streaming of tracer by cardiopul monary passage is minimized. It is the purpose of this report to describe the technique and to present an evaluation of its capability to rapidly deliver tracer into the right heart more abruptly than simple rapid intravenous injection. Technique: This technique is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1. It has been de scribed in part previously (1). The subject's arm is positioned on a slightly elevated armboard with the elbow slightly flexed. The arm is supported only at the elbow and one finger ( Fig. 2). The upper part of the arm is held free above the mat tress supporting the patient. A “Velcro―3 blood pressure cuff is placed on the upper arm and inflated to about 100 mm of mercury, provided that this is below the systolic brachial arterial pressure. The cuff is left in place for one minute, causing a distention of the venous pool in the distal arm and a rise in the venous blood pressurein the distalarm to exceedthe cuffpressure.A 25-gauge,1 inch needleforsubsequentinjection isplaced in a deep antecubitalvein.The cuff pressureisfurtherincreaseduntilitsubstantially exceedsthe systolic pressure. The circulation in the distal arm is thus cut off with the venous pool still in a distended condition. With the arm circulation thus interrupted, the tracer is injected into the antecubital vein.The rateofinjectioneed not be rapid,sincethe circulation is completely interrupted by the inflated cuff. Up to about 3 ml of solution can be injected in this way without causing significant extravasation, but our usual technique utilizes only 1 ml of saline.
