Hybrid resistance units (HRU) – also known as Wood units in honor of Paul Wood.

1 HRU = 1 Woods unit = 80 dyne.sec/cm5 = Pa·s/m3

Pa = pascal = pascal (symbol: Pa) is the unit of pressure in the International System of Units , 1 pascal = N/m2

• Wood units is used to measure – Peripheral vascular resistance
