title: [Personal computer-assisted "acceptable hemoglobin concentration". An example of preoperative autologous blood donation].
abstract: At rest, the actual cardiac output (CO) exceeds the CO required to cover the oxygen consumption VO2, provided the hemoglobin level and the non-Hb parameters impacting on cellular oxygen supply (e.g. paO2, pH and body temperature) are normal. The size of this hemodynamic buffer as a function of Hb levels and the non-Hb parameters can be quantified for any clinically conceivable combination including VO2. As Hb levels decrease, the patient's condition is progressively destabilized in the sense that the gradual vanishing of the buffer makes him increasingly sensitive to abnormalities of the non-Hb parameters, such as hypermetabolism, arterial hypoxemia, and alkalosis. This concept is used to illustrate the course of patients participating in an autologous blood predeposit program.
