Anesthetic Experience of Hemorrhagic Shock Patient with Rh-O Blood Type / 대한마취과학회지

ABSTRACT

Successful management of active hemorrhagic shock is directed toward efforts to control bleeding, replenish blood and fluid deficits, restore cardiac output, and enhance oxygen delivery. In patients with low hemoglobin concentration, the use of whole blood or packed red blood cell is indicated. Some patients may refuse blood transfusions on religious grounds, and some patients may not be given blood transfusions for uncommon blood type. We report a case of a 34 years old hemorrhagic shock patient(Hgb 3.7 g/dl) whose blood type was Rh- 0, and who underwent operation successfully with profound hemodilution.
