We have developed a formula sequence which calculates the predicted blood volume, hemodilutional hematocrit and conjectively figures the amount of non-haemic solution margin allowable before reaching a minimally acceptable or ‘target’ hematocrit in the adult patient.
Another application of the formula calculates the value for the amount of prime reduction to prevent the addition of blood to the ECC priming volume. The formula also provides the figures for the amount of blood to add to the prime of the extracorporeal circuit in order to maintain a target hematocrit.
Key words: Non-haemic solution / extracorporeal circuit / target hematocrit / volume allowance
