Effect of leukocyte-depleted intraoperative salvaged Mood on erythrocyte immunity and systemic inflammatory response during perioperative period / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of leukocyte-depleted intraoperative salvaged blood on the erythrocyte immunity and systemic inflammatory response during the perioperative period in patients. Methods Twenty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-44 yr, weighing 40-75 kg, required blood salvage during operations (intraoperative blood loss expected 15-20 ml/kg), were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 10 each): control group (group C) and leukocyte depletion group (group D) . Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, fentanyl, propofol and vecuronium and maintained with isoflurane inhalation and iv infusion of propofol and remifentanil. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Intraoperative blood salvage and reinfusion were performed in all patients using cell saver system. In group D, the salvaged blood was filtered with a leukocyte depleting filter placed in the line of the reinfusion circuit. Blood samples were collected from the central vein before anesthesia (T1 ) , at the end of surgery (T2 ) , and at 12 h (T3 ) and 36 h (T4 ) after operation in the two groups. The rosette rates of RBC-C3b receptors and RBC-immune complex were determined. The leukocyte and neutrophil were counted. The plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Results The plasma levels of IL-6, TNF-a and MDA were significantly lower at T2-4 , the rosette rate of RBC-C3b receptors was significantly higher at T3-4 ( P ＜ 0.01) , and the neutrophil count was significantly lower at T4 in group D than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05) . Conclusion Leukocyte-depleted intraoperative salvaged blood is helpful to improve the erythrocyte immunity during the perioperative period in patients, and the decrease in the systemic inflammatory response may be involved in the mechanism.
