Even if there is clear evidence of transfusion-induced immunosuppression, it is difficult to demonstrate that transfusion is the only determinant factor that decisively affects the outcome. In any case there are several motivations to reduce the practice of blood transfusion. The advantages and drawbacks of different transfusion alternatives are reviewed here, emphasizing that surgeons and anesthetists who practice in centers with a high volume of liver resections, should be familiar with all the possible alternatives.展开更多

Contents: ANH consists of taking a percentage of the patient’s blood volume and a concurrent infusion of acellular fluids in order to maintain normovolemia. As a consequence, a hemodiluted patient will lose less blood cells for each blood volume that is lost during the surgical procedure. The aim of this study is to clarify doubts and provide practical information relative to the procedure of ANH through the author’s own experiences as well as literary examples. Conclusions: ANH is an easy and cheap technique performed during the intraoperative period useful to reduce the use of hemoderivatives.展开更多
