Abstract
Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is an operative blood conservation technique involving the removal and storage of the patient’s blood after induction of anesthesia while maintaining normovolemia with crystalloid or colloid replacement. Developed and used predominantly in cardiac surgery, ANH has been applied to the vascular surgery population, but data of its impact on transfusion requirements in this population are limited. The objective of this study was to compare transfusion requirements and coagulopathy in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic aneurysm (oAAA) repair employing ANH with those in patients receiving only product replacement as clinically indicated.
