Background Induction of general anaesthesia has been shown to cause haemodilution and
an increase in plasma volume. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether prevention of …

Abstract Background Arterial haematocrit (Hct) has been shown to decrease after
anaesthesia induction, most probably because of an increased plasma volume (PV). The …

Background Haemodynamic instability during the induction of anaesthesia and surgery is
common and may be related to hypovolaemia caused by pre‐operative fasting or chronic …

We read the article by Khan et al.[1] with great interest and congratulate the authors, as we
consider the tested hypothesis to be enormously relevant for clinical practice. The primary …

Controlled hypotension reduces blood loss during defined major surgical procedures, which
in turn will minimize transfusion needs and thereby the risks of transmission of infectious …

Study Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of hemodilution combined with induced
hypotension during surgery. Design: Randomized, nonblinded, controlled study. Setting …

The amount of red blood cells and other plasma constituents lost during surgical bleeding is
reduced by preoperative dilution of the circulating blood volume. ANH is traditionally …

Volume loading with crystalloid solution results in more pronounced haemodilution in
patients who develop arterial hypotension during induction of extradural anaesthesia than in …

Study Objective: To evaluate the effects of hemodilution during controlled hypotension on
the hepatic, renal, and pancreatic function in the clinical setting. Design: Randomized …

Methods We studied 16 postoperative cardiac surgical and mechanically ventilated patients
who, for clinical reasons, underwent haemodynamic monitoring by transpulmonary …
