AbstractDespite the extended potentials of modern medicine, noncompensated blood loss remains one of the leading causes of death in the able-bodied population all over the world. At present, there is no uniform policy of transfusion maintenance and intensive care in victims with severe decompensated blood loss. The purpose of the study was to assess the results of compensation for acute blood loss in victims with concomitant injury and wounds at various sites, which were attended by the loss of a circulating blood volume (CBV) with the use of new technologies. The authors retrospectively assessed the specific features of the course of anesthesia and compensation for blood loss in 66 male victims (mean age 37 +/- 1.5 years) with concomitant injury and various wounds complicated by acute CBV loss. CBV was compensated for by the currently available infusion media; globular blood volume deficit was restored via intraoperative instrumental reinfusion of autoblood and donor blood. The proposed procedure for infusion-transfusion therapy made it possible to stabilize the patient's condition and to perform emergency surgical treatment in victims with fatal blood loss. Total mortality in the chosen intensive care modality was 62.1%.
