Bleeding According to Esmarch

Esmarch exsanguination is a surgical procedure aimed at removing arterial blood from a limb during cardiovascular surgery. This technique was developed by John Esmarch in the 19th century and is still used in medicine today, especially in heart and blood vessel surgery. In this article we will look at how this method works and what risks it carries.

Esmarch's exsanguination is a surgical procedure performed on patients with acute development of cardiac asthma and pulmonary edema. It can also be performed on patients with increasing or previously increasing acute renal failure (at any stage) due to DKA, including ineffective hemodialysis, as well as patients with other kidney pathologies or chronic heart failure in order to correct overhydration, ascites, and hypovolemic shock. Blood loss of ≈ 2 liters causes hypotension and acute renal failure (anuria, shock). The operation helps in cases where intravenous infusion of solutions or oxygen into the vessels of the chest is impossible or ineffective, for example, with inadequate vascular access (catheter) or spasms of the respiratory muscles (epilepsy). The main complication is hypo
