Shortages of allogeneic blood supplies for rhesus (Rh)-negative patients who are scheduled for major cancer surgeries may cause delays in surgical procedure, resulting in a prolonged length of hospital stay (LOHS). This study investigated the relationship of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) with LOHS in this patient population.
