It does not come as a surprise that hemoglobin solutions improve oxygen delivery and consumption in severely anemic swine. However, changes in P-50 do not appear to modify oxygen dynamics […]
Acute hemodilution in a chronic polycythemic patient may be deleterious.
This case report showed that chronic polycythemia could be associated with peripheral shunting that might reduce patient’s tolerance to acute isovolemic hemodilution. – P. Van der Linden. The authors have […]
