Effect of xenon anaesthesia on accuracy of cardiac output measurement using partial CO2 rebreathing.

abstract：:The concept of haemostatic resuscitation implies early and high-volume plasma transfusion. We investigated the haemostatic profile of reconstituted whole blood prepared in a 1:1:1 ratio of blood, platelets and plasma. This consisted of packed red blood cells, platelet concentrate and four different plasma variants: fr...
