[Autologous blood transfusion in the complex surgical treatment of chronic hematogenic osteomyelitis].

The article analyzes results of complex surgical treatment of 109 patients with chronic hematogenic osteomyelitis of long tubular bones and pelvis, 53 of them were subjected to correction of intraoperative blood loss with autogenic blood. Autohemotransfusion with procurement of 400-600 ml of blood immediately before operation in combination with normovolemic hemodilution allows to correct intraoperative blood loss up to 20% of the circulating blood volume. Autohemotransfusion with the preliminary taking of blood as much as 800 ml allows to correct intraoperative blood loss more than for 20% of the circulating blood volume.
