Robustness of Randomized Controlled Trials Evaluating Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution as a Blood Conservation Strategy in Cardiac Surgery

Abstract Objective To evaluate the robustness of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), a blood conservation strategy designed to reduce transfusion requirements, in cardiac surgery using the..

Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution in Adult Cardiac Surgery

Abstract Importance  Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a well-known blood conservation technique, yet its adoption in the US remains low (<20%), and cardiac surgery remains the largest consumer of blood components...

The role of acute normovolemic hemodilution and retrograde autologous priming in reducing intraoperative packed red blood cell transfusion needs in…

Abstract Background Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) and retrograde autologous priming (RAP) are blood conservation techniques designed to reduce transfusion requirements. Purpose This study evaluated the impact of combining ANH and..

A Randomized Trial of Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution in Cardiac Surgery

Abstract Background Patients undergoing cardiac surgery often receive red-cell transfusions, along with the associated risks and costs. Early intraoperative normovolemic hemodilution (i.e., acute normovolemic hemodilution [ANH]) is a blood-conservation technique..

Acute normovolemic haemodilution to reduce allogeneic red blood cell transfusion in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. An observational study

Abstract Background and Objective Patients undergoing cardiac surgery consume more than 50% of blood transfusions, and such transfusions have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Evidence in blood-saving techniques..

Hemodilution in high-risk cardiac surgery: Laboratory values, physiological parameters, and outcomes

Abstract Background Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a blood conservation strategy in cardiac surgery, predominantly used in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or valve procedures. Although higher complexity cardiac procedures..

High Hemoglobin Level As a Limiting Factor for Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Abstract We report the case of a 47 year old male who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome after bariatric surgery, requiring a venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. An inadequate extracorporeal membrane..

Hematologic Evaluation of Intraoperative Autologous Blood Collection and Allogeneic Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery

Abstract Background Acute normovolemic hemodilution is recommended as a technique to reduce allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in cardiac surgery, but its efficacy to reduce non‐RBC transfusion has not..
