Abstract

Textbook values for the size of the extracellular water compartment (ECW) expressed as a fraction of total body water (TBW): ECW/TBW, range from .27 to .45 (Berne and Levy. 1988). These discrepancies are disturbing since the size of the ECW and intracellular (ICW) is inportant to the decision-making process in the management of patients with altered fluid balance, and also important in considering the pharmacokinetics of the distribution of drugs in the body.
