The dilution of whole blood leads to a significant improvement of its rheologic properties based on a decrease in hematocrit and, hence, blood viscosity. Under conditions of normovolemia and an adequate response of the cardiorespiratory system, the acute dilution of blood will enhance the venous return to the heart and thereby improve total and ...

Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1998Acute normovolemic hemodilution was described to be useful as a blood conservation strategy more than 25 years ago, yet seldom is practiced today. The benefit of acute normovolemic hemodilution is perceived to be modest and the technique is not taught in anesthesia or surgery training programs.

Hemodilution and Intraocular Pressure
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1965The water-drinking test is presently employed to aid in diagnosing glaucoma in suspicious or borderline cases. 1 Rarely necessary in patients with intraocular pressures below 15 mm Hg or above 30 mm Hg, the test is primarily indicated in the group with values of 20 to 25 mm Hg.

Acute normovolemic hemodilution
Transfusion and Apheresis Science, 2011Acute normovolemic hemodilution (AHN) is a well known but poorly used "blood saving" method. The authors, based on their own experience and on the "low hematocrit" physiology, present some concepts on AHN and a clinical experience to demonstrate the usefulness and affordability of this method.

Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution
Surgical Infections, 2005The inherent risks of blood transfusion have led to concerted efforts to find alternatives to allogeneic blood transfusion. Among these alternatives are supplementation with iron and treatment with erythropoietin, autologous pre-donation before major elective surgery, intraoperative blood salvage (particularly for emergency cases or when major blood ...

Hemodilution and Oxygen Transport
1992Several risks are associated with transfusion of homologous blood and blood products. The risk of alloimmunisation is well known. Transmission of viral infections from homologous blood transfusion (e.g. hepatitis, and especially AIDS) draw increasing the attention (Adler, 1984; Alter et al., 1972; Curran et al., 1984). In addition, it is suggested that

Hemodilution and Blood Substitutes
Artificial Cells, Blood Substitutes, and Biotechnology, 1994The primary consequence of the substitution or replacement of blood with a surrogate is the dilution of the original constituents. This hemodilution produces systemic and microvascular phenomena that underlie all forms of blood replacement and provides a physiological reference for comparison for blood substitutes.

Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 1987
The induced hemodilution is the most simple and efficient therapeutic measure of improving hemorheological parameters. Decrease of hematocrit, lowering of fibrinogen concentration and reduction of plasma viscosity are the mainly involved factors. They are to improve microcirculatory perfusion via amelioration of blood fluidity.
