What is Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution?

What is the max amount of blood collected for Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution?
12 g/dL

- less than 8 hrs
- to retain the platelet and coagulation factor functioning
Multiple units are collected for Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution. What unit has the highest hematocrit?
the first unit

it should be the last pack transfused… AFTER BLEEDING HAS STOPPED
What is Intraoperative Blood Salvage?
- Blood, that is lost during surgery, is collected
- Collected blood is washed/filtered
- Filtered blood is returned (put back) to the patient
