[Hematologic study of rapid and massive transfusion]
Massive transfusion was applied in the standard manner and using the transfusion pump. Considering the complications accompanying massive transfusion several coagulation parameters, as well as the free haemoglobin values were studied before, during and after the surgery. The materials were obtained from heart, liver and polytraumatised patients undergoing surgery. The results were yielded by comparison of all three groups of patients (total number 41). It was obvious, that the massive transfusion has been affecting coagulations parameters at most in polytraumatised patients.
