Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a pre-operative tool to estimate the risk of peri-operative packed red blood cell transfusion in primary debulking surgery. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed an institutional database to identify patients who underwent primary debulking surgery for ovarian cancer at a single center between January 1, 2001 and May 31, 2019. Receiver operating characteristic curve and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated. Five-fold cross-validation was applied to the multivariate model. Significant variables were assigned a 'BLOODS' (BLood transfusion Over an Ovarian cancer Debulking Surgery) score of +1 if present. A total BLOODS score was calculated for each patient, and the odds of receiving a transfusion was determined for each score. RESULTS Overall, 1566 patients met eligibility criteria; 800 (51%) underwent a peri-operative blood transfusion. Odds ratios (OR) were statistically significant for American Society of Anesthesiologists scores of 3 and 4 (OR 1.34, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.09 to 1.63), pre-operative levels of cancer antigen 125 (CA125) (OR 2.43, 95% CI 1.98 to 2.99), platelets (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.45 to 1.74), obesity (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.60 to 0.96), presence of carcinomatosis (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.93 to 3.11), bulky upper abdominal disease (OR 2.86, 95% CI 2.32 to 3.54), pre-operative serum albumin level (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.40), and pre-operative hemoglobin level (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.51 to 0.61). The corrected AUC was 0.748 (95% CI 0.693 to 0.804). BLOODS scores of 0 and 5 corresponded to 11% and 73% odds, respectively, of receiving a peri-operative blood transfusion. CONCLUSIONS We developed a universal pre-operative scoring system, the BLOODS score, to help identify patients with ovarian cancer who would benefit from surgical planning and blood-saving techniques. The BLOODS score was directly proportional to the American Society of Anesthesiologists score, presence of upper abdominal disease, carcinomatosis, CA125 level, and platelets level. We believe this model can help physicians with surgical planning and can benefit patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) was first introduced in glioblastoma surgery, and its role in reducing allogeneic blood transfusion was investigated in this study. METHODS This study enrolled supratentorial glioblastoma patients who received total resection. In the ANH group, the patients were required to draw blood before the operation, and the blood will be transfused back to the patient during the operation. The association between ANH and clinical features was investigated. RESULTS Sixty supratentorial glioblastoma patients were enrolled in this study, 25 patients were allocated in the ANH group, and another 35 patients were included in the control group. ANH dramatically reduced the need for allogeneic blood transfusion (3 [12%] vs 12 [34.3%], P = 0.049), and the blood transfusion per total of patients was dramatically decreased by the application of ANH (0.40 ± 1.15 units vs 1.06 ± 1.59 units, P = 0.069). Furthermore, ANH also markedly reduced the requirement of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion (2 [8%] vs 11 [31.4%], P = 0.030) and the volume of FFP transfusion per total of patients (32.00 ± 114.46 mL vs 115.71 ± 181.00 mL, P = 0.033). The complication rate was similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS ANH was a safe and effective blood conservation technique in glioblastoma surgery.

Abstract
To characterize current evidence and current foci of perioperative clinical trials, we systematically reviewed Medline and identified perioperative trials involving 100 or more adult patients undergoing surgery and reporting renal end points that were published in high-impact journals since 2004. We categorized the 101 trials identified based on the nature of the intervention and summarized major trial findings from the five categories most applicable to perioperative management of patients. Trials that targeted ischemia suggested that increasing perioperative renal oxygen delivery with inotropes or blood transfusion does not reliably mitigate acute kidney injury (AKI), although goal-directed therapy with hemodynamic monitors appeared beneficial in some trials. Trials that have targeted inflammation or oxidative stress, including studies of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, N-acetylcysteine, and sodium bicarbonate, have not shown renal benefits, and high-dose perioperative statin treatment increased AKI in some patient groups in two large trials. Balanced crystalloid intravenous fluids appear safer than saline, and crystalloids appear safer than colloids. Liberal compared with restrictive fluid administration reduced AKI in a recent large trial in open abdominal surgery. Remote ischemic preconditioning, although effective in several smaller trials, failed to reduce AKI in two larger trials. The translation of promising preclinical therapies to patients undergoing surgery remains poor, and most interventions that reduced perioperative AKI compared novel surgical management techniques or existing processes of care rather than novel pharmacologic interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe oncologic outcomes after using acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) to reduce requirement for allogenic red blood cell transfusions (ABT) in patients undergoing primary debulking surgery (PDS) for advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS We performed a post-hoc analysis of a recent prospective trial investigating the safety and feasibility of ANH during PDS for advanced ovarian cancer. We report long-term survival outcomes. We compared demographics, clinicopathological characteristics, survival outcomes in this cohort of Stage IIIB-IVB high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients undergoing ANH (ANH group), with a retrospective cohort of all other patients (standard group) undergoing PDS during the same time period (01/2012-04/2017). Standard statistical tests were used. RESULTS There were no demographic or clinicopathological differences between ANH (n = 33) and standard groups (n = 360), except for higher median age at diagnosis (57 vs. 62 years, respectively; p = 0.044) and shorter operative time (357 vs. 446 min, respectively; p < 0.001) in the standard group. Cytoreductive outcomes (ANH vs. standard): 0 mm, 69.7 vs. 63.9%; gross residual disease (RD) ≤1 cm, 21.2 vs. 26.9%; >1 cm, 9.1 vs. 9.2% (p = 0.78). RD after PDS was the only independent factor associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS) on multivariable analysis (p < 0.001). Patients with BRCA mutations trended towards improved PFS (p = 0.057). Significant factors for overall survival (OS) on multivariable analysis: preoperative CA125 (p = 0.004), ascites (p = 0.018), RD after PDS (p = 0.04), BRCA mutation status (p < 0.001). After adjustment for potential confounders, ANH was not independently associated with PFS or OS [PFS: HR 0.928 (0.618-1.395); p = 0.721; OS: HR 0.588 (95%CI: 0.317-1.092); p = 0.093]. CONCLUSIONS ANH is an innovative approach in intraoperative management. It was previously proven to decrease need for ABT while maintaining the ability to achieve complete gross resection and associated benefits.

Abstract
Purpose Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is an autologous transfusion method, using blood collected during surgery, to reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusion. ANH is controversial because it may lead to various complications. Among the possible complications, anastomotic leakage is one that would have a significant effect on the operation outcome. However, the relationship between ANH and anastomotic site healing requires additional research. Therefore, we conducted this prospective study of ANH, comparing it with standard intraoperative management, undergoing gastric anastomosis in rats. Methods Sixteen Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups: group A, surgery with ANH; group N, surgery with standard intraoperative management; and group C, sham surgery with standard intraoperative management. ANH was performed in group A animals by, removing 5.8–6.6 mL of blood and replacing it with 3 times as much crystalloid. All rats were enthanized on postoperative day 6, and histopathologic analyses were performed. Results The mean hematocrit values, after hemodilution were 22.0% (range, 18.0%–29.0%), group A; 33.0% (29.0%–35.0%), group N; and 32.5% (29.0%–34.0%), group C. There were significant differences between groups A and N (P = 0.019, P = 0.009, P = 0.004, P = 0.039, and P = 0.027), and between groups N and C (P = 0.006, P = 0.027, P = 0.04, P = 0.008, and P = 0.009) with respect to inflammatory cell numbers, neovascularization, fibroblast numbers, edema and necrosis, respectively; there were no differences between groups A and N. Conclusion In rat model, anastomotic complications did not increase in the ANH group, compared with the standard intraoperative management group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our objective was to determine the safety and efficacy of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) to reduce the requirement for allogenic red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in patients undergoing primary cytoreduction for advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS Patients undergoing primary cytoreduction for advanced ovarian cancer were enrolled in a prospective trial assessing ANH at time of surgery. Intraoperative blood withdrawal was performed to a target hemoglobin of 8.0 g/dL. A standardized transfusion protocol first using autologous then allogenic blood was applied intraoperatively and throughout hospitalization according to institutional guidelines. The primary endpoint was to determine the overall rate of allogenic RBC transfusions in the intra- and postoperative periods. A predetermined allogenic RBC transfusion rate <35% was deemed a meaningful reduction from a 50% transfusion rate in historical controls. RESULTS Forty-one patients consented to participate. Median blood withdrawn during ANH was 1650 mL (range, 700-3000). Cytoreductive outcomes were as follows: 0 mm, 30 (73%); 1-10 mm, 8 (20%); and >10 mm, 3 (7%) residual disease. Estimated blood loss was 1000 mL (range, 150-2700). Fourteen patients (34%) received allogenic RBC transfusions intra- or postoperatively, meeting the primary endpoint. No patients were transfused outside protocol guidelines. The rate of ≥grade 3 complications (20%) and anastomotic leaks (7%) were similar to historical controls and met predefined safety thresholds. CONCLUSIONS For patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing primary cytoreductive surgery, ANH appears to reduce allogenic RBC transfusion rates versus historical controls without increasing perioperative complications. Further evaluation of the technique is warranted.

Abstract
Colorectal surgery carries significant morbidity and mortality, which is associated with an enormous use of healthcare resources. Patients with pre-existing morbidities, and those undergoing emergency colorectal surgery due to complications such as perforation, obstruction, or ischemia / infarction are at an increased risk for adverse outcomes. Fluid therapy in emergency colorectal surgical patients can be challenging as hypovolemic and septic shock may coexist. Abdominal sepsis is a serious complication and may be diagnosed during pre-, intra-, or postoperative periods. Early suspicion and recognition of medical and / or surgical complications are essential. The critical care management of complicated colorectal surgical patients require collaborative and multidisciplinary efforts.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of Acute Normovolaemic Haemodilution (ANH) in reducing the perioperative homologous transfusion, to compare the results of acute normovolaemic haemodilution and homologous blood transfusion in terms of Hb%, PCV%, and to assess the cost effectiveness of ANH with homologous transfusion. METHODS 30 healthy patients between the age of 14-70 years, who required a maxillofacial surgical procedure under general anaesthesia with haemoglobin level of 12 gm% or above, PCV 30% or above and where postoperative blood transfusion was not expected to be beyond one pint, were selected. The patients were randomly divided into two groups of 15 patients each. The group I patients were subjected to ANH and the group II patients were transfused 1 pint of compatible banked, homologous blood and mean haemoglobin and PCV was compared in 1st, 3rd and 7th post-operative day in both the groups. RESULT Patients who received ANH had p < 0.05 than patients who received homologous transfusion by using student's paired t-test in terms of Hb% and PCV%. CONCLUSION It was concluded that ANH is more effective compared to homologous bleeding time.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION our Maximum Surgical Blood Ordering Schedule (MSBOS) recommends that blood is cross-matched prior to elective colorectal resections. National guidelines state that blood should not be cross-matched if blood usage is below 50%. Our aims were to determine compliance with local and national guidelines and assess timing of blood transfusions. PATIENTS AND METHODS consecutive elective colorectal resections from August 2007 to December 2008 were identified retrospectively using an electronic theatre management system. Patients transfused pre-operatively were excluded. Pre-operative cross-match status and blood transfusion data for each patient were identified using an electronic pathology system and case notes. Cross-match to transfusion (C:T) ratio and blood usage were calculated. RESULTS one hundred and thirty one patients were identified. One hundred and sixteen patients (88.5%) had a pre-operative cross-match, 13 patients (9.9%) had a pre-operative group and save and 2 patients (1.5%) had neither a valid cross-match nor group and save. A total of 295 units of blood were cross-matched; 79 units were transfused. Overall C:T ratio was 3.7:1 and blood usage was 26.8%. Twenty eight patients (21.4%) were transfused within 5 days of surgery. Six patients (4.6%) were transfused intra-operatively; 3 (2.3%) post-operatively on the same day; 8 (6.1%) on day one and 11 (8.4%) on or after day 2. CONCLUSION we are over-ordering blood for elective colorectal resections and cannot justify performing a routine pre-operative cross-match. Blood should be grouped and saved pre-operatively and cross-matched only when clinically indicated to minimise inappropriate requests, expenditure and help improve blood stock management.

Abstract
The decision to transfuse patients perioperatively is made on an individual basis and should consider factors such as duration and severity of anaemia, symptoms, physiological parameters and comorbidities. Autologous blood transfusion has the benefit of avoiding some of the immunological and infective complications associated with allogenic blood transfusion. Pharmacological agents as well as anaesthetic and surgical techniques have a role in avoiding the need for blood transfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The transfusion rate following colorectal cancer resection is between 10 and 30 per cent. Receipt of allogeneic blood is not without risk or cost. A preoperative adjunct that reduced the need for transfusion would mitigate these risks. This study was designed to determine whether iron sucrose reduces the likelihood of postoperative blood transfusion in patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer resection. METHODS In this randomized prospective blinded placebo-controlled trial of patients undergoing resectional surgery with a preoperative diagnosis of colorectal cancer, 600 mg iron sucrose or placebo was given intravenously in two divided doses, at least 24 h apart, 14 days before surgery. The primary outcome measures were serum haemoglobin concentration, recorded at recruitment, immediately before surgery and at discharge, and perioperative blood transfusions. RESULTS No difference was demonstrated between treatment groups (iron sucrose, 34 patients; placebo, 26) for any of the primary outcome measures, for either the whole study population or a subgroup of anaemic patients. CONCLUSION This pilot study provided no support for the use of intravenous iron sucrose as a preoperative adjunct to increase preoperative haemoglobin levels and thereby reduce the likelihood of allogeneic blood transfusion for patients undergoing resectional surgery for colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Although the definitions of renal dysfunction vary, loss of renal function is a common complication following cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). When postoperative dialysis is required, mortality is approximately 50%. CPB-accompanied hemodilution is a major contributing factor to renal damage as it notably reduces oxygen delivery by reducing the oxygen transport capacity of the blood as well as disturbing the microcirculation. To minimize hypoxemic damage during CPB, lowering of body temperature is applied to reduce the patient’s metabolic rate. At present, however, temperature management during elective adult cardiac surgery is shifting from moderate hypothermia to normothermia. To determine whether the currently accepted levels of hemodilution during CPB can suffice the normothermic patient’s high oxygen demand, we focused this study on renal physiology and postoperative renal function. Hemodilution reduces the capillary density through a diminished capillary viscosity, thereby, redistributing blood from the renal medulla to the renal cortex. As the physiology of the renal medulla makes it a hypoxic environment, this part of the kidney appears to be especially at risk for hypoxic damage caused by a hemodilution-induced lowered oxygen transport and oxygen delivery. In addition, hemodilution is also likely to disturb the hormonal systems regulating renal blood distribution. Clinical studies, mostly of retrospective or observational nature, show that perioperative nadir hematocrit levels lower than approximately 24% are associated with an increased risk to develop postoperative renal failure. A better comprehension of the cause-and-effect relation between low perioperative hematocrits and loss of postoperative renal function may enable more effective renal protective strategies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Allogeneic blood transfusion confers a risk to the recipient. Recent trials in colorectal surgery have shown that the most significant factors predicting blood transfusion are pre-operative haemoglobin, operative blood loss and presence of a transfusion protocol. We report a randomised, controlled trial of oral ferrous sulphate 200 mg TDS for 2 weeks' pre-operatively versus no iron therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer were recruited from out-patient clinic and haematological parameters assessed. Randomisation was co-ordinated via a telephone randomisation centre. RESULTS Of the 49 patients recruited, 45 underwent colorectal resection. There were no differences between those patients not receiving iron (n = 23) and the iron-supplemented group (n = 22) for haemoglobin at recruitment, operative blood loss, operation duration or length of hospital stay. At admission to hospital, the iron-supplemented group had a higher haemoglobin than the non-iron treated group (mean haemoglobin concentration 13.1 g/dl [range, 9.6-17 g/dl] versus 11.8 g/dl [range, 7.8-14.7 g/dl]; P = 0.040; 95% CI 0.26-0.97) and were less likely to require operative blood transfusion (mean 0 U [range, 0-4 U] versus 2 U [range, 0-11 U] transfused; P = 0.031; 95% CI 0.13-2.59). This represented a cost reduction of 66% (47 U of blood = pound4700 versus oral FeSO(4) at pound30 + 15 U blood at pound1500). At admission, ferritin in the iron-treated group had risen significantly from 40 microg/l (range, 15-222 microg/l) to 73 microg/l (range, 27-386 microg/l; P = 0.0036; 95% CI 46.53-10.57). CONCLUSIONS Oral ferrous sulphate given pre-operatively in patients undergoing colorectal surgery offers a simple, inexpensive method of reducing blood transfusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risks associated with allogeneic blood transfusion are increasingly recognized. More blood is cross-matched for moderate blood loss surgery than any other indication. The role of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) as a blood transfusion strategy was evaluated in a prospective randomized controlled trial. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 155 patients undergoing elective hip surgery were randomly assigned to either "ANH" (n = 78) or "standard transfusion" (n = 77). ANH on induction of anesthesia was to a target hemoglobin (Hb) level of 110 g per L with return of autologous blood on wound closure. Allogeneic blood was prescribed by an objective transfusion trigger based on an Hb level of less than 80 g per L. Transfusion requirements and postoperative complications were recorded. RESULTS Allogeneic transfusion was necessary in 22 (29%) standard transfusion patients and 15 (19%) ANH (odds ratio [OR], 0.6; 95% CI, 0.28-1.3; p = 0.23) with 63 and 33 units transfused, respectively (p = 0.1). Significant postoperative complications occurred in 30 (38%) standard transfusion patients compared with 14 (18%) of those randomly assigned to ANH (OR, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.14-0.65; p = 0.009). The major difference between the groups was the frequency of infective complications. CONCLUSION Despite modest allogeneic transfusion requirements in hip surgery, ANH reduced postoperative complications.
