[Intentional normovolemic hemodilution (preliminary results)].

The authors, after illustrating the advantages of hemodilution from the rheological, hemodynamic and district microcirculatory standpoint, illustrate their experience about 11 patients treated with such method. They point out the advantages this method can bring in both reducing the iatrogenous pathology involved in the hemodilution and reducing the difficulties faced by blood-banks and the costs burdening on the medical services.
