[Acute perioperative hemodilution without using hydroxyethyl starch : Hemodynamic alterations under "controlled" hypovolemia.]
CONCLUSION: In the study population, the loss of intravascular fluid during perioperative haemodilution could be compensated by an increase in cardiac performance. However, whether patients with a reduced cardiac capacity (i.e. older patients) are capable to improve their cardiac output sufficiently in order to compensate hypovolemia accompanying perioperative haemodilution with crystalloids remains questionable.
