I would appreciate it if you would expand on this a little. What, in your experience, is used that causes or contributes to dilutional anaemia?
My son was given large amounts of colloids and crystaloids before his op to reduce fractures of the femur, tibia and fibula of his right leg.
He died following the surgery and the cause of death was given as Severe Dilutional Anaemia.
I am interested in learning whether the type of fluid given could have contributed to his death.
