Abstract
Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is indicated and useful in all procedures of plastic surgery in which great blood loss is expected. Here we present the advantages of ANH such as avoidance of incompatibility reaction, no risk of disease transmission, better microperfusion, economic and psychological advantages, and saving blood.
