Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers.
This review article describes the nine different hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers that have been developed since the 1980s. Seven of them are currently being tested in phase II or phase III […]
Acute normovolaemic haemodilution beyond a haematocrit of 25%: ratio of skeletal muscle tissue oxygen tension and cardiac index is not maintained in the healthy dog.
This experimental study investigates the effects of stepwise acute normovolemic hemodilution on muscular oxygen delivery in healthy anesthetized dogs. – Philippe Van der Linden
New approach to management of life-threatening bleeding in a Jehovah’s Witness.
This is an editorial on an article we commented previously (Gannon et al. Crit Care Med 2002;30:1893-5). The author reviews a number of interesting points on rHuEPO and oxygen therapeutics. […]
Influence of cell-free Hb on local tissue perfusion and oxygenation in acute anemia after isovolemic hemodilution.
This experimental study shows that, in hamsters, exchange transfusion with polymerized bovine hemoglobin to a hemoglobin content of 6.7 g/dL failed to maintain tissue oxygenation and in-vivo functional capillary density […]
