Hemodilution is defined as the dilution of the concentration of red blood cells and plasma constituents by partially substituting the blood with colloids or crystalloids and it is a strategy to avoid exposure of patients to the hazards of homologous blood transfusions. Several mathematical models and computer simulations have been introduced to validate the efficacy of hemodilution; the amount of maximal allowable blood loss and final postoperative hematocrit or hemoglobin has been calculated… CONTINUE READING
