Serum bromide measurements in infants below 1000 g, for determination of corrected bromide space.
We describe modifications to the gold colorimetric method for the measurement of serum bromide in the estimation of extracellular fluid volume. These modifications allow the application of the bromide dilution technique to small infants, below 1000 g birth weight, since sample volumes as small as 50 microliters may be assayed.
