Efficacy of Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution in the Setting of Chronic Anemia
2017
Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two
A theoretical model for calculating hematocrit as it relates to blood volume loss was used to test the theoretical impact of acute normovolemic hemodilution prior to surgery in a chronically anemic patient. The technique of hemodilution is intended to decrease red blood cell loss that occurs as the result of surgical intervention, however its impact may be decreased in an anemic patient. An equation to find change in hematocrit resulting from blood volume loss was elucidated via integration.
