Summary
After exchange transfusion by an emulsion of fluorocarbons (Fluosol 43) in rats, an increase in fluorocarbons and131I-labelled albumin was observed. These changes suggest a transfer of water from vascular to interstitial space possibly owing to the inability of the emulsion to reproduce the oncotic pressure of normal blood.
