The VAMC is involved in multi-million dollar research programs that support more than 100 investigators and 300 active research projects majorly in alcoholism, cardiovascular disease diabetes, hypertension and spinal cord regeneration.
VAMC orthopaedic surgeon Bahman Sadr said the orthopaedic unit of the Washington DC Veterans Administration has been interested in the measurement of blood volume changes after certain orthopaedic procedures.
"The advent of the BVA-100 blood volume analyzer has made such measurements a reality and is a needed and exciting tool for future research in this area," Sadr said.
