Abstract
after a systematic literature review, 24 randomized trials examining the role of acute normovolemic hemodilution were identified, pooled, and summarized using statistical techniques. Many studies reported an impressive reduction in blood transfused. Closer examination suggests that these reductions in blood exposure may be due to flawed study design.

Although transfusion of autologous blood by the method described would seem to be a safe and proctical means of reducing banked-blood requirements for open-heart operations, experience indicates that the amount of blood needed to be added to the pump oxygenator more than negates the value in reducing intraoperative blood requirements.

HS solution prepared in HES is an attractive alternative for blood substitution in cardiac patients undergoing acute hemodilution for blood conservation and CI increased most in the HS-HES group, whereas systemic vascular resistance was lower in these patients.
