High impact information on Bloodletting

Up to interim analysis, 33 patients underwent bloodletting, with simultaneous infusion of an identical volume of hydroxyethyl starch (10%, 200/0.5) [1].
It is concluded that in children undergoing halothane anaesthesia, the incidence of postextubation stridor cannot be reduced by bloodletting acupuncture [2].
In NR, administration of vasoactive substances (kallikrein, bradykinin, angiotensin I and II) or bloodletting resulted in significant IOP reactions, which ran nearly parallel to the acute BP changes [3].
By the way, doctor. I have phlebotomies every six months to manage my hemochromatosis. At my most recent bloodletting, a fibrous clot came out after the nurse removed the needle from my forearm. It seems to me that such clotting presents an unnecessary risk for ischemic stroke. What do you think [4]?
After bloodletting the concentrations of albumins, total protein and free fatty acids were decreased parallelly to haematocrit value decrease (p less than 0.05) and glucose concentration increased slightly (p less than 0.05) [5].
