[Experiences with intraoperative autotransfusion in the replacement of hip endoprostheses].

This is a report about the use of the Haemonetic Cell Saver for intraoperative retransfusion of blood in replacement of total hip prostheses. The amount of donor blood used was compared in two groups of patients: group II, using the Cell Saver, group I without it. In group II, there was an average of 1000 ml less donor blood used; in certain individual cases, more blood was used. Using the patient's own blood reduces the postoperative reduction of hemoglobin content in the blood by 0.5 g%.

[Long-term experience with brachial plexus anesthesia].

In this work we report on our experience of more than 11 000 cases of plexus anaesthesia in the eight years 1976-1983. Particular care is taken to show how both the increase in experience and the amelioration in technology have led to an increase in the success rate. Our initial and current methods of axillary plexus block are described in detail, as are the most important signs relevant to the placing of the needle. Finally we discuss indications and contraindications, as well as possible complications and their prevention.
