Intentional Normovolemic Hemodilution (INH) is a procedure, relatively simple, through which 2-3 units of blood are extracted to the patient and replaced by the same volume of plasma with the objective of improving blood flow and reduce blood viscosity (more diluted blood) to increase oxygenation of the tissue or organ

This surgery is performed to correct jaw fractures by placing different surgical items such as small plates or screws. It is performed under general anesthesia.
