Abstract
SUMMARYAcute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is an autologous blood collection technique that involves the removal of whole blood from a patient on the day of surgery shortly before an anticipated significant surgical blood loss. ANH is one of the least expensive blood‐conservation practices because it is a ‘point‐of‐care’ strategy that is performed in the operating room at the time of surgery. As ANH and preoperative autologous donation (PAD) have equivalent efficacy but ANH is much less expensive than PAD, ANH is the logical choice for the procurement of autologous blood.
