Normovolemic hemodilution in head and neck surgery

Abstract: As the transfusion risks to which patients are exposed are gradually understood, every effort is being made to find both a valid and safe alternative to homologous blood transfusions. Bearing this in mind, the most sensible solution appears to be the practice of a self-donor procedure with normovolemic hemodilution prior to elective surgery. However, even repeated bloodlettings do not modify the oxygen delivery to tissues since, with a reduction in the hemoglobin content of the circulating blood, there is a co… Show more

“…12 Hemodilution has also been applied in the surgery of head and neck tumors. 13 For the cases in the present study, this mechanism may act to decrease complications. Identification of stage IV disease as a near-significant background factor for complications is understandable from the standpoint that the invasiveness of surgery is higher than that for stage III and less advanced diseases.…”
