Abstract
A method for hemodiluting a patient is disclosed which includes the steps of administering a biocompatible oxygen carrier in conjunction with surgery or organ ischemia or infarct while assessing the patient's PvO.sub.2 or other oxygenation indices, and administering to the patient additional oxygen carrier or autologous blood in response to the PvO.sub.2 value if necessary to maintain the PvO.sub.2 at or above the desired level.
