Fluid Flux Across the Microvascular Endothelium

  • Chapter
Shock and the Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Part of the book series: Current Concepts in Critical Care ((CRITICAL CARE))

  • 75 Accesses

Abstract

Our understanding of the forces governing the movement of fluid into and out of the vascular compartment owes much to the observations of Starling at the end of the nineteenth century (Starling 1894, 1896). The history of the development of the Starling Hypothesis and its subsequent mathematical formulation has been reviewed in successive editions of the Handbook of Physiology (Landis and Pappenheimer 1963; Michel 1984).
