Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of intraoperative autologous blood salvage during elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with Cell Saver 4 (Heamonetics Inc.). Fifty patients prospectively received intraoperative autologous transfusion (Group CS; n=50, 1991-94) and 25 received no intraoperative autologous transfusion (Group NCS; n=25, 1983-91). Only 7 patients in Group NCS received no homologous blood (28%), while 43 in Group CS received autologous blood transfusion (86%). There was no difference between the groups with respect to postoperative platelets counts or serum concentrations of total protein, albumin, BUN and LDH. We conclude that the use of the Cell Saver 4 reduces perioperative homologous blood during elective aortic aneurysm repair.
