Does controlled hypotensive anesthesia combined with autotransfusion reduce blood loss and replacement in patients undergoing spinal surgery?
Controlled hypotensive anesthesia combined with hemodilution and autotransfusion significantly reduces blood loss and the need for homologous blood transfusion during spinal surgery.
