Changes in Intravascular Volume during Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution and Intraoperative Retransfusion in Patients with Radical Hysterectomy

Abstract

During ANH, normovolemia was exactly maintained. After surgical blood loss of 1,256 +/- 892 ml, crystalloid and colloid supplies of 5,752 +/- 1,462 ml and 1,667 +/- 548 ml, respectively, and complete intraoperative retransfusions of autologous blood in every patient, mean blood volume was 250 ml higher than preoperatively before ANH.
