The author concludes that suppression of erythro-, leuko- and thrombopoiesis within 48 hours after transfusion decreases the amount of precursor cells in the peripheral blood. This is a very important […]
A very thorough overview of all aspects of blood-sparing methods. – V. Kretschmer
This article brings important information about the cost-effectiveness of acute normovolemic hemodilution and intraoperative cell salvage when used in major vascular surgery. – P. Van der Linden
This experimental study showed that acute isovolemic hemodilution to a hematocrit of 20% resulted in a decreased oxygen delivery to the brain as the increase in cerebral blood flow did […]
This study assesses the effectiveness of intraoperative cell salvage with or without normovolemic hemodilution in patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery. The results are not particularly new and the […]
Disappointing and rather surprising results. The lower incidence of transfusion reactions (TR) in children is not surprising since the referred frequency of TR in adults (up to 37% from literature) […]
This article confirms previous studies showing that a reduction of the bypass circuit priming volume can be associated with a reduction in allogeneic blood use. This beneficial effect is related […]
This is an interesting review article on the use of acute normovolemic hemodilution as part of a blood conservation strategy in patients undergoing elective surgery. – P. Van der Linden
Nice overview, but inconsistency between recommendations in the figures and in the text. – V. Kretschmer
This is a very important topic. All logical aspects would seem to suggest that stored cellular blood components have an immune suppressive effect. However, it is questionable whether this study […]
