Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Autotransfusion with leap-frog technique in patients with coronary heart disease and planned aortocoronary venous bypass].
The goal of the study is to test and control the quality of a special leap-frog technique which enables saving heterologous blood. ⋯ 40% of the cardiosurgical patients could be considered for autologous blood donation. Isovolemic hemodilution with HES 200/0.5 10% was a suitable and safe measure in preoperative blood sampling. Physical exercise should be performed before and after autologous blood donation. A reduced exercise tolerance suggests that autologous blood donation should be stopped.
