4,000 ml blood loss without a need for allogenic blood transfusion - a case reportArticles
- ARO FN Brno - Bohunice, přednosta doc. MUDr. Ivan Čundrle, CSc.
The patient scheduled for major urologic surgery has suffered 4,000 ml blood loss (78% of total blood volume) during the procedure. Two methodsof blood preservation were implemented - acute isovolemic hemodilution and preoperative autologous blood donoring (autotransfusion). With thesetechniques, allogenic blood transfusion could have been avoided, while perioperative levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit did not fall below safemargins for the patient.
