Normovolemic hemodilution was used in 81 patients as preparation to reconstructive operation for the occlusion of main arteries of extremities. Regional hemodynamics was studied in 18 of them. It was established that acute hemodilution substantially increased the volume and tissue blood flow, regional systolic arterial pressure distal to the occlusion of the main vessel and reestablished the vessel tone. The oxygen transport became normal in the zones with preserved main blood flow and considerably increased in the places distal to the occlusion of the main artery.
