ABSTRACT
Infusion of unwashed mediastinal shed blood (MSB) is one technique advocated for decreasing use of donor blood in cardiac surgery patients. A commercially available system was prospectively evaluated in 96 consecutive patients. The control group was comprised of 78 consecutive patients. All underwent elective aortocoronary bypass surgery. Student's t-test, chi-square analysis, multivariate analysis, and Fisher's exact test were used where appropriate. There was no decrease in the amount of banked blood required or percentage of patients who received transfusions in the MSB autotransfusion group.
