RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of predeposit, salvage, and hemodilution autotransfusion on patients with femoral shaft fracture (FSF) surgery. METHODS: Selected patients with FSF were randomly divided into three groups: intraoperative blood salvage autotransfusion, preoperative hemodilution autohemotransfusion, and predeposit autotransfusion. Five days after the operation, the body temperature, heart rate, blood platelet (PLT), and hemoglobin (Hb) of patients were determined. The concentrations of EPO and GM-CSF in the three groups were calculated by ELISA. The content of CD14+ monocytes was calculated by FCM assay. The growth time and condition of the patient's callus were determined at the 30th, 45th, and 60th day after operation. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between EPO, GM-CSF, CD14+ mononuclear content, callus growth, and autotransfusion methods. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in body temperature and heart rate between the three groups (p > 0.05). PLT and Hb in the Predeposit group were markedly increased compared with that in the Salvage and Hemodilution groups. The concentrations of EPO and GM-CSF in the Predeposit group were markedly increased compared with that in the Salvage and Hemodilution groups. The content of CD14+ monocytes in the Predeposit group was significantly higher than that in the Salvage and Hemodilution groups. Predeposit autotransfusion promotes callus growth more quickly. CONCLUSION: Predeposit autotransfusion promoted the recovery of patients with FSF after the operation more quickly than salvage autotransfusion and hemodilution autotransfusion.

RESUMEN

Autologous blood transfusion is known to have advantages over allogeneic transfusion. The COVID-19 pandemic intensified the already existing shortage of allogeneic blood supply. We carried out a study during this period with the aim to elicit the effects of autologous blood collection and transfusion, to compare the peri-operative outcomes of autologous and allogeneic transfusion practices and also to assess the influence of the autologous transfusion programme in the Blood Centre inventory. It was prospective observational comparative study among neurosurgical and vascular surgical patients in a tertiary care centre in South India. 141 patients were allocated into Group I (n = 71) who received autologous transfusion and those who received conventional allogeneic transfusion were clustered as Group II (n = 72) for analysis. We employed Acute Normovolemic Hemodilution (ANH), Pre-deposit Autologous Donation (PAD) and Intra-operative Cell Salvage (ICS) as various modalities for autologous blood collection. In our study, 43 (60.6%) from Group I received exclusive autologous blood transfusion, whereas 28 (39.4%) required additional allogeneic transfusion. No significant difference in hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet count and INR were observed between the groups post transfusion. Significant difference was observed in the thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) patients with respect to duration of ICU stay (2.7 ± 1.1 days in Group I and 6.2 ± 0.8 days in Group II; p = 0.002) and re-exploration due to bleeding (16.7% in Group I and 40% in Group II; p = 0.048). Autologous blood transfusion is safe and effective. It can be employed as routine practice and also during any acute shortage or pandemic.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The occurrence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has overwhelmed the blood supply chain worldwide and severely influenced clinical procedures with potential massive blood loss, such as clipping surgery for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Whether acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is safe and effective in aneurysm clipping remains largely unknown. METHODS: Patients with aSAH who underwent clipping surgery within 72 hours from bleeding were included. The patients in the ANH group received 400 mL autologous blood collection, and the blood was returned as needed during surgery. The relationships between ANH and perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion, postoperative outcome, and complications were analyzed. RESULTS: Sixty-two patients with aSAH were included between December 2019 and June 2020 (20 in the ANH group and 42 in the non-ANH group). ANH did not reduce the need of perioperative blood transfusion (3 [15%] vs. 5 [11.9%]; P = 0.734). However, ANH significantly increased serum hemoglobin levels on postoperative day 1 (11.5 ± 2.5 g/dL vs. 10.3 ± 2.0 g/dL; P = 0.045) and day 3 (12.1 ± 2.0 g/dL vs. 10.7 ± 1.3 g/dL; P = 0.002). Multivariable analysis indicated that serum hemoglobin level on postoperative day 1 (odds ratio, 0.895; 95% confidence interval, 0.822-0.973; P = 0.010) was an independent risk factor for unfavorable outcome, and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that it had a comparable predictive power to World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies grade (Z = 0.275; P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: ANH significantly increased postoperative hemoglobin levels, and it may hold the potential to improve patients' outcomes. Routine use of ANH should be considered in aneurysm clipping surgery.

RESUMEN

Abstract Objective To prospectively compare the clinical and laboratorial aspects of patients undergoing spine deformity surgery, using the acute normovolemic hemodilution technique with tranexamic acid, versus a control group with tranexamic acid alone, and to evaluate the influence of hemodilution in intraoperative bleeding and the need for homologous transfusion. Materials and Methods Comparative prospective study with patients aged between 12 and 65 years undergoing spine deformity surgery with the acute normovolemic hemodilution technique associated with tranexamic acid versus a control group to which only tranexamic acid (15 mg/kg) was administered. Laboratorial exams were performed and analyzed in three different moments. Results A total of 30 patients were included in the present study: 17 in the hemodilution group, and 13 in the control group. The mean duration of the surgery in the hemodilution group was longer. The number of levels submitted to surgery ranged from 7 to 16 in the hemodilution group, and from 4 to 13 in the control group. Osteotomy, predominantly of the posterior kind, was performed in 20 patients. There was more intraoperative bleeding in the control group. All patients were stable during the procedures. Only 6 participants needed homologous blood transfusion, mostly from the control group (p > 0.05). Conclusion There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the need for blood transfusion and intraoperative bleeding. The severity of the deformity was the main determinant for homologous blood transfusion.


Resumo Objetivo Comparar de modo prospectivo os parâmetros clínicos e laboratoriais dos pacientes submetidos a hemodiluição normovolêmica aguda associada ao ácido tranexâmico com um grupo de controle que recebeu apenas ácido tranexâmico, durante cirurgia de correção de deformidades da coluna, e avaliar a influência da técnica de hemodiluição no sangramento perioperatório e a necessidade de transfusão de sangue homólogo. Materiais e Métodos Estudo prospectivo comparativo, com pacientes entre 12 e 65 anos submetidos a cirurgia para correção de deformidades da coluna vertebral, com a técnica de hemodiluição normovolêmica aguda associada ao ácido tranexâmico, versus grupo de controle com ácido tranexâmico isolado na dose de 15 mg/kg. Exames laboratoriais foram feitos e analisados em três momentos de avaliação diferentes. Resultados Participaram deste estudo 30 pacientes: 17 no grupo de hemodiluição e 13 no grupo de controle. O tempo médio de cirurgia foi maior para o grupo de hemodiluição. O número de níveis operados variou entre 7 e 16 no grupo de hemodiluição, e entre 4 e 13 no grupo de controle. Fez-se osteotomia, predominantemente posterior, em 20 pacientes. O valor médio de sangramento intraoperatório foi maior no grupo de controle. Os parâmetros clínicos se mantiveram estáveis durante todos os procedimentos. Apenas 6 pacientes necessitaram de transfusão sanguínea homóloga, a maioria dos quais pertencia ao grupo de controle (p > 0,05). Conclusão Não houve diferença significativa entre os dois grupos quanto à necessidade de transfusão e sangramento intraoperatório. A gravidade da deformidade foi o principal fator determinante da transfusão.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmological emergency, the retinal analog of a stroke. To date there is no consensus or national guidelines on how this disorder should be managed. As academic neurologists and ophthalmologists treat CRAO frequently, we set out to understand how these clinicians approach patients with CRAO with a national survey. METHODS: We identified university-associated teaching hospitals offering vascular neurology, neuro-ophthalmology and/or retina fellowships in the US and asked the directors of the programs to respond to questions in an open response format to profile the acute management of CRAO at their institution. RESULTS: We found remarkable heterogeneity in the approach to acute treatment of patients with CRAO among the 45 institutions that responded to the survey. Only 20% had a formal policy, guideline or white paper to standardize the approach to treatment. The primary treating physician was an ophthalmologist, neurologist, or neuro-ophthalmologist 44, 27, and 4% of the time, respectively; 24% were co-managed acutely by neurology and ophthalmology. Intravenous fibrinolysis was offered to selected patients in 53% of institutions, and was the preferred initial treatment in 36%. When the acute treatment team involved a vascular neurologist, fibrinolysis was more likely to be considered a first-line treatment (p < 0.05). Anterior chamber paracentesis, ocular massage and hyperbaric oxygen therapy were offered 42, 66 and 7% of the time, respectively, while 9% of institutions offered no treatment. Anterior chamber paracentesis was more likely to be offered at programs where neurologists were not involved in treating CRAOs (p < 0.001). At 35% of institutions, patients with acute CRAO were not routinely referred to a general emergency room for initial evaluation and treatment. Carotid imaging was routinely obtained by 89% of programs, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain by 69%, echocardiogram by 62%, laboratory screening for an inflammatory state by 27% and retinal angiography by 30%. The thoroughness of vascular risk factors' screening was greater in programs that routinely referred acute CRAO cases to the emergency department. CONCLUSIONS: This survey shows that there is significant variability in treatment practices for acute CRAO in the US. Because of the high cerebrovascular and cardiovascular risk reported in this population of patients, it is notable that the approach to risk factor screening is also highly variable and many programs do not routinely refer patients to an emergency department for urgent evaluation. Finally, there appears to be equipoise among treatment teams regarding the efficacy of systemic fibrinolysis, as 53% of programs report a willingness to treat at least some patients with this modality.

RESUMEN

The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in coagulation in meningioma patients treated with different injections using the method of acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH). One hundred fifty hindbrain membrane meningioma patients were randomly divided into 5 groups, 30 per group. The first group were injected 40ml/time with Danhong after anesthesia induction; the second group were injected with 40ml~60ml/time Kangai and combined with interventional chemotherapy and embolization procedure; the third group of AHH were injected with polygeline 15ml/kg; the fourth group were injected with hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) sodium chloride in doses of 15ml/kg; the control group underwent basic treatment for lowering blood pressure and lowering blood fat. The changes of coagulation index were recorded before and after surgery and before and after the injection of different medications. Compared to the control group, for the first group of AHH, after being treated for 10 days and 30 days, the concentrations of bone specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), bone Gla protein (BGP) and pro-collagen carboxy-terminal propeptide (PICP) were higher than that of the control group, the levels of endotoxin (ET) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were decreased compared to the control group (p less than 0.05); for the second group of AHH, after being treated for 10 days, the index of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), fibrinogen (Fg) were not significantly changed, but the related level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) significantly decreased (p less than 0.05). Comparing the coagulation function index after surgery in the third and fourth groups, there were no significant changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) level, heart rate (HR) value presented a low decrease, central venous pressure (CVP) level increased and the level of interleukin IL-6 showed a steady state after increasing. Analyzing the levels of interleukin IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) after surgery, it was seen that in the third group they increased and in the fourth group they decreased (p less than 0.05). Danhong injection improved the coagulation function and microcirculation of patients, Kangai injection and interventional chemotherapy and embolization restrained the appearance of tumor angiogenesis, AHH operation with polygeline injection and hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) sodium chloride kept blood flow in normal parameters.

RESUMEN

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the perioperative blood conservation strategies and postoperative outcomes in patients who undergo complex spinal surgery for tumor resection and who also refuse blood product transfusion. DESIGN: A retrospective case series. SETTING: A single-center, tertiary care and academic teaching hospital in Canada. PATIENTS: All adult patients undergoing elective major spine tumor resection and refusing blood product transfusion who were referred to our institutional Blood Utilization Program between June 1, 2004, and May 9, 2014. MEASUREMENTS: Data on the use of iron, erythropoietin, preoperative autologous blood donation, acute normovolemic hemodilution, antifibrinolytic therapy, cell salvage, intraoperative hypotension, and active warming techniques were collected. Data on perioperative hemoglobin nadir, adverse outcomes, and hospital length of stay were also collected. MAIN RESULTS: Four patients who refused blood transfusion (self-identified as Jehovah's Witnesses) underwent non-emergent complex spine surgery for recurrent chondrosarcoma, meningioma, metastatic adenocarcinoma, and metastatic malignant melanoma. All patients received 1 or more perioperative blood conservation strategy including preoperative iron and/or erythropoietin, intraoperative antifibrinolytic therapy, and cell salvage. No patients experienced severe perioperative anemia (average hemoglobin nadir, 124 g/L) or anemia-related postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who decline blood product transfusion can successfully undergo major spine tumor resection. Careful patient selection and timely referral for perioperative optimization such that the risk of severe anemia is minimized are important for success.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the perioperative blood management strategies for joint arthroplasty. METHODS: The literature concerning preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative blood management was reviewed and summarized. RESULTS: At present, a variety of blood management and conservation strategies are available. Preoperative strategies include iron supplementation, erythropoietin (EPO), and preoperative autologous donation (PAD). Intraoperative options include acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), antifibrinolytics, and the use of a tourniquet. Postoperative strategies include the use of reinfusion systems and guided transfusion protocols. Preoperatively, administration of either simple EPO or a combination of EPO and PAD can be efficacious in anemic patients. Intraoperatively, tourniquet use and tranexamic acid can effectively control bleeding. Postoperatively, appropriate transfusion indications can avoid unnecessary blood transfusions. CONCLUSION: Perioperative blood management strategies for joint arthroplasty should be integrated for the individual patient using a variety of ways to reduce perioperative blood loss and blood transfusion, and promote the rehabilitation of patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have evaluated the efficacy of preoperative acute normovolemic hemodilution (PANH) in reducing the need for allogeneic blood transfusion. However, the results to date have been controversial. In this study, we sought to reassess the efficacy and safety of PANH based on newly emerging evidence. METHODS: Medline, EMBASE, ISI Web of Knowledge, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched using the key words "hemodilution," "autotransfusion," or "hemorrhage" to retrieve all randomized controlled trials examining the benefits of PANH compared with control patients not undergoing PANH in any type of surgery. RESULTS: Sixty-three studies involving 3819 patients were identified. The risk of requiring an allogeneic blood transfusion and the overall volume of allogeneic red blood cell transfused during the perioperative period were reduced in the PANH group compared with the control group (relative risk, 0.74; 95% confidence interval, 0.63 to 0.88; P = 0.0006; weighted mean difference, -0.94 units; 95% confidence interval, -1.27 to -0.61 units; P < 0.0001). However, there was significant heterogeneity (I2 = 79.6%, χ2 = 151.95, P < 0.0001; I2 = 95.3%, χ2 = 574.28, P < 0.0001) and publication bias (P = 0.001; P = 0.009) for both outcomes, limiting conclusions regarding the efficacy of PANH for reducing allogeneic transfusion. Perioperative blood loss, adverse events, and the length of hospitalization were comparable between these groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although these results suggest that PANH is effective in reducing allogeneic blood transfusion, we identified significant heterogeneity and publication bias, which raises concerns about the true efficacy of PANH.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Perioperative red blood cell transfusions (RBC) are associated with increased morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery. Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is recommended to reduce perioperative transfusions; however, supporting data are limited and conflicting. We describe the relationship between ANH and RBC transfusions after cardiac surgery using a multi-center registry. METHODS: We analyzed 13,534 patients undergoing cardiac surgery between 2010 and 2014 at any of the 26 hospitals participating in a prospective cardiovascular perfusion database. The volume of ANH (no ANH, <400 mL, 400 to 799 mL, ≥ 800 mL) was recorded and linked to each center's surgical data. We report adjusted relative risks reflecting the association between the use and amount of ANH and the risk of perioperative RBC transfusion. Results were adjusted for preoperative risk factors, procedure, body surface area, preoperative hematocrit, and center. RESULTS: The ANH was used in 17% of the patients. ANH was associated with a reduction in RBC transfusions (RRadj [adjusted risk ratio] 0.74, p < 0.001). Patients having 800 mL or greater of ANH had the most profound reduction in RBC transfusions (RRadj 0.57, p < 0.001). Platelet and plasma transfusions were also significantly lower with ANH. The ANH population had superior postoperative morbidity and mortality compared with the no ANH population. CONCLUSIONS: There is a significant association between ANH and reduced perioperative RBC transfusion in cardiac surgery. Transfusion reduction is most profound with larger volumes of ANH. Our findings suggest the volume of ANH, rather than just its use, may be an important feature of a center's blood conservation strategy.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: During the last decades many efforts have been made to reduce transfusion requirements and adverse clinical effects during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The minimal extracorporeal circulation (MECC) system and the technique of retrograde autologous priming (RAP) of a conventional CPB circuit have been associated with decreased hemodilution. Our study aimed to compare conventional CPB (cCPB), RAP, and the ROCsafe MECC (Terumo Europe N.V., Leuven, Belgium) system in elective coronary artery bypass patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Data were retrospectively collected on three cohorts of 30 adult CPB patients. Patients were operated using cCPB, RAP, and the ROCsafe MECC system. RESULTS: The three groups were comparable in demographic data. The priming volume in the ROCsafe and RAP group was significantly less compared with the conventional priming group (p <0.05). The mean time of extracorporeal circulation and aortic cross-clamp time (p <0.05) were significantly shorter in the ROCsafe group. The levels of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) during CPB and postoperatively showed significant differences between the three groups (p < 0.05) and resulted in significantly higher blood transfusion requirements (p < 0.05). Lactate, serum creatinine, troponin, and creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) levels did not differ significantly among the three groups (p >0.05). There was also no statistically significant difference in ventilation time, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, overall hospital stay, and postoperative complications (p >0.05). CONCLUSION: In conclusion, RAP is compared with cCPB and MECC a safe and low-cost technique in reducing the priming volume of the CPB system, causes less hemodilution, and reduces the need for intra- and postoperative blood transfusion.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Non-invasively continuous total hemoglobin (SpHb) measurement has not been assessed adequately in acute bleeding and rapid blood transfusion during surgery. Thus, we have assessed the efficacy of SpHb during both acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) and autologous blood transfusion (ABT). METHODS: Twenty-four patients undergoing urological and gynecological surgery were enrolled. ANH was induced by withdrawing blood of 800 g with simultaneous fluid administration. When surgical hemostasis was completed, collected blood was reinfused. Measurement of SpHb, perfusion index (PI) and real total Hb (tHb) were done before and after each 400 ml blood removal (-0, -400, -800 ml) and reinfusion (+0, +400, +800 ml). RESULTS: A Bland-Altman analysis for repeated measurements showed a bias (precision) g/dl of 1.12 (1.25), 1.43 (1.24) and 1.10 (1.23) for all data, during ANH and during ABT, respectively. Additionally, a bias (precision) increased with a reduction in tHb (g/dl): ≥10.0; 0.74 (1.30), 8.0-10.0; 1.15 (1.12) and <8.0; 1.60 (1.28). Although the difference between SpHb and tHb was almost zero before anesthesia induction, it became significant just before ANH and did not change further by ANH and ABT. Significant correlations between SpHb and tHb for all data (r = 0.75, n = 228, p < 0.001) were observed. PI slightly correlated with the difference between SpHb and tHb (r = 0.38, n = 216, p < 0.001). Furthermore, before and after induction of anesthesia, PI also correlated with the difference between SpHb and tHb (r = 0.42, n = 23, p = 0.048 and r = 0.51, n = 22, p = 0.016, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The present data suggest that SpHb may overestimate tHb during ANH and ABT. In addition, PI and tHb levels had an impact on the accuracy of SpHb measurements.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is performed with the intention to reduce the requirement for allogeneic blood transfusions. After preoperative withdrawal of whole blood, corresponding amounts of crystalloids and/or colloids are infused to maintain normovolemia. The main benefit of ANH is the availability of whole blood containing red blood cells, clotting factors and platelets for reinfusion after removal during the dilution process. Until retransfusion whole blood components are stored at the patient's bedside in the operating theatre. AIM: It was the aim of the present investigation to analyze potential changes in ex vivo induced platelet aggregation in stored blood components. MATERIAL AND METHODS: After obtaining approval 15 patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery were enrolled into this prospective observational study. Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) was routinely performed in this collective based on institutional standards. Besides analyses of pH and plasma concentrations of ionized calcium and hemoglobin, hematological analyses included aggregometric measurements using multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA, Multiplate®, Roche, Grenzach, Germany). Ex vivo platelet aggregation was induced using arachidonic acid (ASPI test), as well as thrombin receptor activating peptide (TRAP test) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP test). Laboratory analyses were performed before beginning ANH (baseline), as well as immediately (T1), 30 min (T2), 60 min (T3), 90 min (T4), 120 min (T5), 150 min (T6) and 180 min (T7) after beginning of storage. The areas under the aggregation curves (AUC) in the MEA were defined as primary (ASPI test) and secondary endpoints (ADP test, TRAP test). RESULTS: As compared to baseline, arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation was significantly reduced at T1 [77 U (68/94 U) vs. 53 U (25/86 U), p = 0.003] and each consecutive measuring point. As compared to T1 (begin of storage), arachidonic acid induced platelet aggregation was significantly reduced at T4 [26 U (14/54 U); p = 0.002], T5 [30 U (21/36 U); p = 0.007], T6 [25 U (17/40 U); p = 0.004] and T7 [28 U (17/39 U); p < 0.001]. The extent of ex vivo induced platelet aggregation in the TRAP test and ADP test remained unchanged during the study period. The pH as well as the concentrations of ionized calcium and hemoglobin remained unchanged in the blood component during storage. CONCLUSION: The results of the present study indicate that disturbances of platelet aggregation may occur during storage of whole blood components prepared for the purpose of ANH. Further investigations are needed to analyze whether the observed phenomena are of hemostatic relevance.

RESUMEN

A 44-year-old man (ASA-PS 1) underwent right lobectomy of the liver under total intravenous anesthesia with propofol, remifentanil, ketamine and rocuronium. In order to evade allogeneic blood transfusion, 1,200 g of the patient's blood was taken and hemodilution was induced for autologous blood transfusion (HAT) after the induction of anesthesia. As intraoperative blood loss amounted to about 4,000 g, Hb level decreased from 13.6 to 6.2 g x dl(-1). However, as intraoperative hemodynamics was relatively stable with crystalloidal and colloidal transfusion with no ischemic change on ECG and no metabolic acidosis, autologous blood transfusion was withheld. After returning the autologous blood, Hb increased to 9.8 g x dl(-1). Any postoperative complications related to the low Hb level were not recognized. HAT is a useful method to evade or at least decrease the amount of allogeneic blood transfusion by anesthesiologists.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Currently, around 35-80% of patients undergoing cardiac surgery in the UK receive a blood transfusion. Retrograde autologous priming (RAP) of the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit has been suggested as a possible strategy to reduce blood transfusion during cardiac surgery. METHODS: Data from 101 consecutive patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass grafts (where RAP was used) were collected prospectively and compared with 92 historic patients prior to RAP use in our centre. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics (ie age, preoperative haemoglobin [Hb] etc) were not significantly different between the RAP and non-RAP groups. The mean pump priming volume of 1,013ml in the RAP group was significantly lower (p<0.001) than that of 2,450ml in the non-RAP group. The mean Hb level at initiation of bypass of 9.1g/dl in patients having RAP was significantly higher (p<0.001) than that of 7.7g/dl in those who did not have RAP. There was no significant difference between the RAP and non-RAP groups in transfusion of red cells, platelets and fresh frozen plasma, 30-day mortality, re-exploration rate and predischarge Hb level. The median durations of cardiac intensive care unit stay and in-hospital stay of 1 day (inter-quartile range [IQR]: 1-2 days) and 5 days (IQR: 4-6 days) in the RAP group were significantly shorter than those of the non-RAP group (2 days [IQR: 1-3 days] and 6 days [IQR: 5-9 days]). CONCLUSIONS: In the population group studied, RAP did not influence blood transfusion rates but was associated with a reduction in duration of hospital stay.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Retrograde autologous priming (RAP) of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit could reduce the degree of haemodilution associated with priming with acellular solutions. However, there is no strong evidence to prove that the practice of RAP reduced intraoperative packed red cell (PRC) or blood product transfusion. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of RAP on intraoperative PRC usage in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). METHODS: This study is a prospective, observational study on patients who underwent first-time, isolated CABG using CPB between April 2012 and July 2012. Two groups of patients were identified: 1. Non-RAP group (n=128) and 2. RAP group (n=73). The primary outcome for the study was the amount of PRC and blood product usage between the induction of anaesthesia and the cessation of CPB. RESULTS: Use of PRC and blood products in the operating room was comparable in both groups. Univariate logistic regression showed that RAP was not an independent predictor of PRC or blood product transfusion (p=0.43). Multivariate logistic regression showed that CPB time, preoperative haemoglobin (Hb) levels and creatinine clearance were independent predictors of blood product transfusion. CONCLUSION: Practising RAP with mean volumes of 300 ml does not necessarily reduce PRC and other blood product transfusion requirements during CABG. In our practice, RAP was performed, aiming at displacing CPB circuit prime volume with which the perfusionist felt comfortable and dictated by haemodynamic parameters prior to commencing CPB. We presume this is the case in many units around the world. This practice, in our opinion, is not enough to achieve the benefits of RAP, if any, in the form of a reduction of packed red cell transfusion requirements. The true advantages of RAP in cardiac surgery need to be studied in a prospective, randomized, controlled trial.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Reducing the priming volume is an effective means of decreasing hemodilution and blood transfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The patient's own blood was used to replace the crystalloid in the CPB circuit by retrograde autologous priming (RAP) in order to decrease the priming volume. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate whether RAP could reduce blood transfusion and improve clinical outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted for randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) exploring RAP in PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Google Scholar and Chinese literature databases (WanFang, WeiPu and CNKI). Clinical parameters and outcomes were focused on the lowest hematocrit (Hct) during CPB, the number of patients transfused blood intraoperatively, the number of patients transfused blood perioperatively, the number of blood units transfused, 24-hour chest tube drainage, hours to extubation, length of ICU stay, and length of hospital stay. RESULTS: Ten trials, with a total of 1123 patients, were included. The number of patients transfused blood intraoperatively (RR = 0.39, 95% CI = [0.29, 0.53], p<0.00001, I(2) = 40%) and perioperatively (RR = 0.53, 95% CI = [0.43, 0.66], p<0.00001, I(2) = 0%) and the number of blood units transfused (SMD = -0.53, 95% CI = [-0.73, -0.33], p<0.00001, I(2) = 14%) were all significantly reduced in the RAP group. No differences in the hours to extubation (SMD = -0.11, 95% CI = [-0.33, 0.12], p=0.37, I(2) = 0%) and the length of ICU stay (SMD = -0.17, 95% CI = [-0.41, 0.08], p=0.18, I(2) = 0%) were observed between the two groups. CONCLUSION: Compared to conventional priming, RAP could reduce transfusion in adults significantly, but had no effect on clinical outcomes, comparing to conventional priming. Further studies involving RAP are expected to investigate if this technique is beneficial to the patient.
