[Evaluation of blood loss in the course of neurosurgery]
In 95 patients with known Hb level of the blood before operation the volume of blood lost during neurosurgical operations was determined by the spectrophotometric method based on determination of Hb concentration in the water obtained from washing machine after washing of linen and surgical material, taking into account the contents in the aspirating part of the machine. The mean blood loss in ml was in this material: in supratentorial gliomas 918 in supratentorial meningiomas 1142 in posterior cranial fossa tumours 356 in spinal tumours 487 in operations for prolapsed lumbar disc 259.
