[Blood loss compensation during surgery of abdominal aortic aneurysms]

Two methods of intraoperative compensation of blood loss in patients with aortic aneurysm are compared in 30 patients: transfusion of donor blood preparations and reinfusion of washed autoerythrocytes. Changes in hemostasis system, central hemodynamics, and oxygen transport were analyzed. Reinfusion of washed autoerythrocytes proved to be more safe and involved no serious complications.
