Table 1

 Summary statistics and correlations with blood volume of potential explanatory variables

Variable Sample mean (SD) Sample correlation with blood volume (p value)
HR, Heart rate; c-pT, core-peripheral temperature difference; MAP, mean arterial pressure; BE, base excess; PCV, packed cell volume.
HR (beats/min) 148 (15) 0.39 (0.02)
c-pT (°C) 1.28 (0.73) 0.08 (0.66)
MAP (mm Hg) 38.7 (7.5) −0.05 (0.80)
BE (mmol/l) −3.19 (4.10) 0.41 (<0.01)
PCV 0.496 (0.081) 0.03 (0.87)
