Tolerance to acute isovolemic hemodilution: effect of anesthetic depth.
This is a very important contribution to the field of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), because it clearly indicates the need of adjusting the depth of anesthesia in dependence upon the […]
The use of acute normovolemic hemodilution in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
In this observational study, the authors report their experience with the use of acute normovolemic hemodilution in cardiac surgery patients. – Philippe Van der Linden This article convincingly shows that […]
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
Exposure to allogeneic plasma and risk of postoperative pneumonia and/or wound infection in coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
The study is very important with regard to the question of whether plasma-poor RBCs cause less immunosuppression than RBC units containing more or less plasma (e.g., whole blood). It can […]
