| Abstract: | Normovolemic exchange transfusion with homologous donors' blood causes moderate slowing of the blood flow in the microcirculation of the recipient dogs together with mild or moderately severe intravascular aggregation of erythrocytes. In 25% of cases acute phenomena of retention of blood in the mesenteric microvessels develop, accompanied by a fall in the level of perfusion in the microvessels of the bulbar conjunctiva. Acute disturbances of the microcirculation are transient in character.Laboratory of Pathological Physiology, Central Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Moscow.
