Performing acute normovolemic hemodilution reduces needs for transfusion of stored homologous blood, exposure of patients to homologous blood and incidence of diseases transmitted by transfusion. Apart from that it provides significant quantities of immunologically best, completely fresh blood and/or some blood components necessary for transfusion. Apart from the latest literature data, in this paper represent the first experiences considering acute normovolemic hemodilution performed in 20 patients operated for having low localized colon's neoplasm in whom amputation of rectum was performed. 780 ml of blood was exfunded from each patient with simultaneous infusion of three times larger volume of lactated Ringer's solution (In 10 patients) one volume of Haemacell (in 5 patients) and one volume of Soludex 70 (in 5 patients). Considering these patients 15600 ml autologous and 2500 ml of homologous blood was used up for transfusion.
