[Transfusion problems in artificial blood circulation].
Results of differentiated administration of blood components to cardiac surgical patients are presented. Frozen washed erythrocytes and erythromass were successively used in the perfusate and postoperatively. A transfusion pattern for patients with rare A2B blood group has been elaborated. The feasibility of prevention of artificial-circulation-induced thrombocytopenia by introduction of large quantities of platelet components right after AC is demonstrated. The necessity of the ACT-test for adequate blood heparinisation and neutralisation during the AC is established. Results of successful autohemotransfusion in cardiac surgery and application of fibrinolytic blood and its components are discussed.
