Abstract
A splenectomized dog model was established to study osseous tissue wound healing under anemic conditions. A significant reduction in red cell mass could be maintained for only two weeks using a phlebotomy procedure with [51]cr measurements. The most accurate assessment of red cell mass in splenectomized dogs was to measure both the red cell volume by chromium and the mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. Significant relations existed between red cell volume and the peripheral venous hemoglobin and hematocrit and red cell level of 2,3 DPG. In the dog the measurements of peripheral venous hemoglobin and hematocrit levels together with red cell levels of 2,3 DPG can be used to supplement the [superscript 51] cr red cell mass determinations. Venous pO[2] and weight can also be used as adjuncts to these measurements.
