[Oxygen metabolism with low hematocrit levels in the course of guided hemodilution procedure in cardiosurgical patients]. / Obmen kisloroda v usloviiakh nizkogo gematokrita pri provedenii upravliaemoi gemodiliutsii u bol'nykh kardiokhirurgicheskogo profilia.

Influence of hemodilution on the oxygen metabolism in patients, operated, using the artificial blood circulation apparatus, was studied up. Factors, determining the oxygen delivery to tissues, was estimated, correlational links between the blood rheological properties and its oxygen--transporting function were established. Experience of application of apparatus Aeprex, promoting the oxygen delivery to tissue improvement and the need in donor's blood lowering, performing operations, using the artificial blood circulation apparatus.
