OBJECTIVE: To study the risk factors of severe blood loss in extensive liver resections, consequences of hemorrhagic problems and their correction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 374 patients. Group 1 comprised 282 patients (118 men and 164 women aged 54.1±0.7 years) who underwent surgery between 2000 and 2012. Group 2 included 92 patients (34 women and 58 men aged 53.6±1.3 years) operated on for the period 2013-2019. RESULTS: Technical equipment for mobilization and dissection of hepatic parenchyma has fundamentally changed for the period 2013-2019. This processes reduced blood loss by more 50% and consumption of donor blood components (red blood cells by 2.8 times, FFP by 1.8 times). Compression of hepatoduodenal ligament (Pringle maneuver) and tumor type did not affect intraoperative blood loss. Neoplasms over 10 cm increased blood loss. An increase in the number of resected segments by 2 times contributed to increase of blood loss by 2.7 times. Body mass index >25 kg/m2 was also associated with higher blood loss.

The researches devoted to blood-saving technologies in extensive liver resections are analyzed in the manuscript. Resection of three and more liver segments is effective method of surgical treatment of various focal liver lesions. Surgical (anatomical resection with hilar glissonean access, Pringle maneuver, modern technical equipment, etc.), anesthesiological (reduction of central venous pressure, hemostatic agents) and transfusion (autologous blood donation, transfusion, cell saver, etc.) methods contribute to prevention and reduction of blood loss. Intraoperative measures for blood loss prevention should include adequate surgical incision and liver mobilization, precise techniques of parenchymal dissection (for example, cavitation surgical aspirator-destructor), use of clip applicators and local or systemic hemostatic agents.

[MODERN TECHNOLOGIES OF THE SAVING OF PATIENT'S BLOOD AND REDUCTION OF THE USE OF DONOR BLOOD DURING OPERATIONS ON THE ASCENDING AORTA AND AORTIC ARCH].

Questions of saving of the patient's blood and limitation of the use of donated blood in the aortic surgery remain relevant in contrast with interventions on the valves of the heart and coronary arteries. In this regard, the aim of the study was to develop and introduce ofcomplex of technologies for saving the patient's blood in order to minimize transfusion of donor blood components during operations on the ascending aorta and aortic arch under hypothermic arrest. The study included 37 patients operated on the ascending aorta and aortic arch under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and hypothermic cardiac arrest (CA) in 2013-2014 (Group 1). 2nd group consisted of 65 patients who at the same time performed reconstructive surgery on the ascending aorta with CBP without stopping the blood circulation. The comparative aspect studied the following parameters: duration of the CBP, CA, temperature, volume of intraoperative and postoperative blood loss, frequency of use of donor blood components autoplasma, washed red blood cells, autologous blood, hemostatic agents, the frequency resternotomy, hematocrit dynamics, glucose, and blood lactate. Comparative studies have shown that the amount of intraoperative blood loss during operations on the aortic arch under the CA was 1294 ± 303 mL, 20% higher than the blood loss during operations on the ascending aorta without CA. Program of saving of the blood of patients with aortic disease included preoperative preparation of autoplasma in 60% of patients, intraoperative collection and laundering of autoerythrocytes in 40-70% of patients and autotransfusion modified method, the improvement of surgical and pharmacological hemostasis and monitoring. Design and implementation of these methods reduced the patients need for donor red blood cells (from 76 to 47%), fresh frozen plasma (from 65 to 35%) during the operation at the aortic arch and the ascending aorta and to completely avoid the use of donor blood in 25% of patients. Proof of the adequacy of the developed strategy of conservation and limitation of the patient's blood was allogeneic blood conservation targets hemoglobin, hematocrit levels and metabolism at the end of the operation.
