Transfusion Strategy: Impact of Haemodynamics and the Challenge of Haemodilution

<table>Perioperative changes in haematocrit and total haemoglobin. SCENARIO A: optimal perioperative management; impact of accurate blood conservation, use of cell-saver/retransfusion of machine blood and autotransfusion. SCENARIO B: nonoptimal perioperative handling; no use of cell-saver/retransfusion of machine blood and postoperative autotransfusion.</table>
