Myocardial ischaemia precipitated by acute normovolaemic haemodilution

Acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) is widely used as part of a blood conservation strategy to minimize the use of allogenic blood in the peri‐operative period. Its role has not been proven in a prospective randomized trial. The potential benefits must not blind clinicians to the possible hazard...

Zusammenfassung:	Acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) is widely used as part of a blood conservation strategy to minimize the use of allogenic blood in the peri‐operative period. Its role has not been proven in a prospective randomized trial. The potential benefits must not blind clinicians to the possible hazards. We report a life‐threatening complication of ANH prior to induction of anaesthesia for aortic aneurysm repair.
