[Blood-saving technologies: algorithm of operation blood loss compensation in planned surgical procedures]
Abstract:
The investigation was performed in 539 patients operated upon for diseases of organs of the chest, abdomen and lower extremity arteries in order to improve the methods of blood loss compensation and to develop optimal programs of saving blood in planned surgical procedures. An algorithm of compensation of perioperative blood loss has been developed allowing considerable improvement of the results of treatment of patients with severe surgical pathology requiring planned operations of large volume. The results of the investigation suggest that it is possible to use autohemotransfusions as effective and safe methods of compensation and therapy of acute perioperative blood loss.

Blood Transfusion
Blood Transfusion Overview
A blood transfusion is a medical procedure used to replace blood lost due to injury, surgery, or to treat conditions such as anemia or cancer. During a transfusion, donor blood is...
Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized, and...
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which forms a...

History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
