SUAREZ LESCAY, Celso  y  HERNANDEZ ACOSTA, Caridad. Induced normovolemic hemodilution: improvement of the hemodynamic and gasometric values in patients with walk claudication. MEDISAN [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.4. ISSN 1029-3019.

A case-control study of 49 patients with intermittent walk claudication, assisted at the hemodilution service of "Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany" Teaching Provincial Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out in a five year period, in order to identify the changes observed in the hyperemia and gasometry of the investigated population. The case material was assigned to one of 2 groups: the patients treated with induced normovolemic hemodilution (study group), and those who received conventional treatment with antiplatelet vasodilators and physical exercise (control group), keeping in mind the presence of risk factors for both. It was concluded that the first ones improved hemodynamics and oxygenation conditions, given by the increase of the width index and of the relationship between oxygen consumption and erythocytes flow index.

Palabras clave : induced normovolemic hemodilution; intermittent walk claudication; reactive hyperemia; hemogasometry; hemodinamics; antiplatelet vasodilators; physical exercise.
