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
Autologous blood transfusion can be achieved through different techniques, including by the patient donating blood before surgery (pre-deposit), collecting blood from the patient immediately before the operation and replacing the volume with colloids or plasma expanders (acute normovolemic hemodilution) or through the salvage of lost blood, during or immediately after surgery, and its retransfusion after washing (intraoperative or postoperative recovery). We will focus on the two methods used intraoperatively that are of fundamental importance in the management and conservation of the patient's own blood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although several independent risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) after spinal tumor surgery have been studied, a simple and valid predictive model for PPC occurrence after spinal tumor surgery has not been developed. PATIENTS AND METHODS We collected data from patients who underwent elective spine surgery for a spinal tumor between 2013 and 2020 at a tertiary hospital in China. Data on patient characteristics, comorbidities, preoperative examinations, intraoperative variables, and clinical outcomes were collected. We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression models to assess predictors of PPCs and developed and validated a nomogram for PPCs. We evaluated the performance of the nomogram using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calibration curves, the Brier Score, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) goodness-of-fit test. For clinical use, decision curve analysis (DCA) was conducted to identify the model's performance as a tool for supporting decision-making. RESULTS Among the participants, 61 (12.4%) individuals developed PPCs. Clinically significant variables associated with PPCs after spinal tumor surgery included BMI, tumor location, blood transfusion, and the amount of blood lost. The nomogram incorporating these factors showed a concordance index (C-index) of 0.755 (95% CI: 0.688-0.822). On internal validation, bootstrapping with 1000 resamples yielded a bias-corrected area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.733, indicating the satisfactory performance of the nomogram in predicting PPCs. The calibration curve demonstrated accurate predictions of observed values. The decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated a positive net benefit for the nomogram across most predicted threshold probabilities. CONCLUSIONS We have developed a new nomogram for predicting PPCs in patients who undergo spinal tumor surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retroperitoneal leiomyomas are rare, with just over 100 cases reported in the literature. Perioperative management of retroperitoneal leiomyomas can be challenging due to the large tumor size and the risk of hemorrhage. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 40-year-old Han woman with a 40-cm retroperitoneal leiomyoma. General anesthesia was performed for the surgical resection. Key flow parameters like cardiac output and stroke volume variation, as shown by the Vigileo™-FloTrac™ system, enabled the anesthesiologist to implement goal-directed fluid optimization. Acute normovolemic hemodilution and cell salvage technique were used resulting in a successful en bloc tumor resection with a 6000-mL estimated blood loss. Although the patient experienced postoperative bowel obstruction, no other significant complications were observed. CONCLUSION Advanced hemodynamic monitoring and modern patient blood management strategies are particularly helpful for anesthetic management of huge retroperitoneal leiomyomas.

J Pain Res 2023; 16:3905-3916. [PMID: 38026458 PMCID: PMC10657755 DOI: 10.2147/jpr.s426872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) and acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) with 6% hydroxyethyl starch (130/0.4) in minimizing blood loss during open partial liver resection. Coagulation function was assessed using thromboelastography (TEG) and hemostasis tests, while renal function changes were tracked through serum creatinine values post-surgery. Methods Thirty patients undergoing open partial liver resection were allocated to two groups: Group T received TXA + ANH, and Group A received ANH alone. Blood was drawn from the radial artery under general anesthesia. Both groups received peripheral vein injections of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4. Group T additionally received intravenous TXA. Primary outcomes included blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusions. TEG assessed coagulation status and renal function was monitored. Results Group T demonstrated superior outcomes compared to Group A. Group T had significantly lower intraoperative blood loss (700 mL vs 1200 mL) and a lower bleeding rate per kilogram of body weight (13.3 mL/kg vs 20.4 mL/kg). Coagulation parameters favored Group T, with higher TEG maximum amplitude (55.91 mm vs 45.88 mm) and lower activated partial thromboplastin time (38.04 seconds vs 41.49 seconds). Neither group experienced acute renal injury or kidney function deficiency during hospitalization. Conclusion TXA and ANH in a small dose during liver resection stabilize clotting, reduce blood loss by 6% compared to hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4, and do not affect renal function.

Large volume acute normovolemic hemodilution in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with intermediate-high risk of transfusion: A randomized controlled trial. J Clin Anesth 2023; 87:111082. [PMID: 36848777 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinane.2023.111082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/27/2023]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate whether large volume acute normovolemic hemodilution (L-ANH), compared with moderate acute normovolemic hemodilution (M-ANH), can reduce perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion in patients with intermediate-high risk of transfusion during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). DESIGN Prospective randomized controlled trial. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Patients with transfusion risk understanding scoring tool ("TRUST") ≥2 points undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from May 2020 to January 2021 were included. INTERVENTIONS The patients were randomly assigned with a 1:1 ratio to M-ANH (5 to 8 mL/kg) or L-ANH (12 to 15 mL/kg). MEASUREMENTS The primary outcome was perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion units. The composite outcome included new-onset atrial fibrillation, pulmonary infection, cardiac surgery associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI) class ≥2, surgical incision infection, postoperative excessive bleeding, and resternotomy. MAIN RESULTS Total 159 patients were screened and 110 (55 L-ANH and 55 M-ANH) were included for final analysis. Removed blood volume of L-ANH is significantly higher than M-ANH (886 ± 152 vs. 395 ± 86 mL, P < 0.001). Perioperative RBC transfusion was median 0 unit ([25th, 75th] percentiles: 0-4.4) in M-ANH group vs. 0 unit ([25th, 75th] percentiles: 0-2.0) in L-ANH group (P = 0.012) and L-ANH was associated with lower incidence of transfusion (23.6% vs. 41.8%, P = 0.042, rate difference: 0.182, 95% confidence interval [0.007-0.343]). The incidence of postoperative excessive bleeding was significantly lower in L-ANH vs. M-ANH (3.6% vs. 18.2%, P = 0.029, rate difference: 0.146, 95% confidence interval [0.027-0.270]) without significant difference for other second outcomes. The volume of ANH was inversely related to perioperative RBC transfusion units (Spearman r = -0.483, 95% confidence interval [-0.708 to -0.168], P = 0.003), and L-ANH in cardiac surgery was associated with a significantly reduced risk of perioperative RBC transfusion (odds ratio: 0.43, 95% confidence interval: 0.19-0.98, P = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS Compared with M-ANH, L-ANH during cardiac surgery inclined to be associated with reduced perioperative RBC transfusion and the volume of RBC transfusion was inversely proportional to the volume of ANH. In addition, LANH during cardiac surgery was associated with a lower incidence of postoperative excessive bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Management of peri-operative bleeding is complex and involves multiple assessment tools and strategies to ensure optimal patient care with the goal of reducing morbidity and mortality. These updated guidelines from the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) aim to provide an evidence-based set of recommendations for healthcare professionals to help ensure improved clinical management. DESIGN A systematic literature search from 2015 to 2021 of several electronic databases was performed without language restrictions. Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies and to formulate recommendations. A Delphi methodology was used to prepare a clinical practice guideline. RESULTS These searches identified 137 999 articles. All articles were assessed, and the existing 2017 guidelines were revised to incorporate new evidence. Sixteen recommendations derived from the systematic literature search, and four clinical guidances retained from previous ESAIC guidelines were formulated. Using the Delphi process on 253 sentences of guidance, strong consensus (>90% agreement) was achieved in 97% and consensus (75 to 90% agreement) in 3%. DISCUSSION Peri-operative bleeding management encompasses the patient's journey from the pre-operative state through the postoperative period. Along this journey, many features of the patient's pre-operative coagulation status, underlying comorbidities, general health and the procedures that they are undergoing need to be taken into account. Due to the many important aspects in peri-operative nontrauma bleeding management, guidance as to how best approach and treat each individual patient are key. Understanding which therapeutic approaches are most valuable at each timepoint can only enhance patient care, ensuring the best outcomes by reducing blood loss and, therefore, overall morbidity and mortality. CONCLUSION All healthcare professionals involved in the management of patients at risk for surgical bleeding should be aware of the current therapeutic options and approaches that are available to them. These guidelines aim to provide specific guidance for bleeding management in a variety of clinical situations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative bleeding and allogeneic blood transfusion are generally thought to affect the outcomes of patients. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the benefits and risks of several cardiovascular interventions in patients undergoing hepatectomy. METHODS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were searched in the Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, and Web of Science to February 02, 2023. RCTs focused on cardiovascular interventions aimed at reducing blood loss or blood transfusion requirements during hepatectomy were included. The primary outcomes were perioperative blood loss amount, number of patients requiring allogeneic blood transfusion and overall occurrence of postoperative complications. The secondary outcomes were operating time, perioperative mortality rate, postoperative liver and kidney function and length of hospital stay. RESULTS Seventeen RCTs were included in the analysis. A total of 841 patients who underwent hepatectomy in 10 trials were included in the comparative analysis between low central venous pressure (CVP) and control groups. The forest plots showed a low operative bleeding volume [(mean difference (MD): -409.75 mL, 95% confidence intervals (CI) -616.56 to -202.94, P < 0.001], reduced blood transfusion rate [risk ratio (RR): 0.47, 95% CI 0.34 to 0.65, P < 0.001], shortened operating time (MD: -13.42 min, 95% CI -22.59 to -4.26, P = 0.004), and fewer postoperative complications (RR: 0.76, 95% CI 0.58 to 0.99, P = 0.04) in the low CVP group than in the control group. Five and two trials compared the following interventions, respectively: 'acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) vs control' and 'autologous blood donation vs control'. ANH and autologous blood donation could not reduce the blood loss amount but greatly decreased the number of patients requiring allogeneic blood transfusion. No benefits were found in the rate of mortality and length of postoperative hospital stay in any of the comparisons. CONCLUSION Lowering the CVP seems to be effective and safe in adult patients undergoing hepatectomy. ANH and autologous blood donation should be used as a part of blood management for suitable patients in certain circumstances. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO, CRD42022314061.

The Future of Cardiothoracic Surgical Critical Care Medicine as a Medical Science: A Call to Action. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 59:47. [PMID: 36676669 PMCID: PMC9867461 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59010047] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Cardiothoracic surgical critical care medicine (CT-CCM) is a medical discipline centered on the perioperative care of diverse groups of patients. With an aging demographic and an increase in burden of chronic diseases the utilization of cardiothoracic surgical critical care units is likely to escalate in the coming decades. Given these projections, it is important to assess the state of cardiothoracic surgical intensive care, to develop goals and objectives for the future, and to identify knowledge gaps in need of scientific inquiry. This two-part review concentrates on CT-CCM as its own subspeciality of critical care and cardiothoracic surgery and provides aspirational goals for its practitioners and scientists. In part one, a list of guiding principles and a call-to-action agenda geared towards growth and promotion of CT-CCM are offered. In part two, an evaluation of selected scientific data is performed, identifying gaps in CT-CCM knowledge, and recommending direction to future scientific endeavors.

Abstract
Patient blood management (PBM) strategies aim to maintain hemoglobin concentration, optimize hemostasis, and minimize blood loss to improve patient outcomes. Because postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of maternal mortality and blood product utilization, PBM principles can be applied in its therapeutic approach. First, pre-operative identification of risk factors for PPH and identification of peri-delivery anemia should be conducted. Iron supplementation should be used to optimize hemoglobin concentration before delivery; it can also be used to treat anemia in the postpartum period after severe PPH. Both acute normovolemic hemodilution and intraoperative cell salvage can be effective techniques to reduce allogeneic blood transfusion during or after surgical procedures. Furthermore, these strategies appear to be safe when used in the pregnant population.

Abstract
Patient blood management (PBM) offers significantly improved outcomes for almost all medical and surgical patient populations, pregnant women, and individuals with micronutrient deficiencies, anemia, or bleeding. It holds enormous financial benefits for hospitals and payers, improves performance of health care providers, and supports public authorities to improve population health. Despite this extraordinary combination of benefits, PBM has hardly been noticed in the world of health care. In response, the World Health Organization (WHO) called for its 194 member states, in its recent Policy Brief, to act quickly and decidedly to adopt national PBM policies. To further support the WHO's call to action, this article addresses 3 aspects in more detail. The first is the urgency from a health economic perspective. For many years, growth in health care spending has outpaced overall economic growth, particularly in aging societies. Due to competing economic needs, the continuation of disproportionate growth in health care spending is unsustainable. Therefore, the imperative for health care leaders and policy makers is not only to curb the current spending rate relative to the gross domestic product (GDP) but also to simultaneously improve productivity, quality, safety of patient care, and the health status of populations. Second, while PBM meets these requirements on an exceptional scale, uptake remains slow. Thus, it is vital to identify and understand the impediments to broad implementation. This includes systemic challenges such as the so-called "waste domains" of failure of care delivery caused by malfunctions of health care systems, failure of care coordination, overtreatment, and low-value care. Other impediments more specific to PBM are the misperception of PBM and deeply rooted cultural patterns. Third, understanding how the 3Es-evidence, economics, and ethics-can effectively be used to motivate relevant stakeholders to take on their respective roles and responsibilities and follow the urgent call to implement PBM as a standard of care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate racial and/or ethnic and sex disparities in allogeneic and autologous red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in cardiac surgery. DESIGN A retrospective observational study. SETTING 2007 to 2018 data from FL, MD, KY, WA, NY, and CA from the State Inpatient Databases (SID), Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. PARTICIPANTS A total of 710,296 inpatients who underwent elective or emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), cardiac valve surgery,or combination CABG and/or valve surgery. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Patients were cohorted by race and/or ethnicity and sex, as defined by SID-HCUP. Demographic characteristics and comorbidities were compared. Rates and risk-adjusted odds ratios (aOR) were calculated for allogeneic and autologous RBC transfusion (primary outcomes). Additional secondary analyses were conducted for in-hospital mortality, 30-day readmission, 90-day readmission, hospital length of stay, and total charges to examine the effect of RBC transfusion status. Effect modification between race and sex was assessed. When controlling for patient demographics, comorbidities, and hospital characteristics, non-White patients were more likely to receive an allogeneic RBC transfusion during cardiac surgery than White patients (Black: aOR 1.17, 99% CI 1.13-1.20, p < 0.001, Hispanic: aOR 1.22, 99% CI 1.19-1.22, p < 0.001). Women were more likely to receive allogeneic RBC than men (aOR 1.69, 99% CI 1.66-1.72, p < 0.001). In interaction models, non-White women had the highest odds of allogeneic blood transfusion as compared to White men (reference category; Black women: aOR 2.04, 99% CI 1.91-2.17, p < 0.001, Hispanic women: aOR 2.03, 99% CI 1.90-2.16, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION These findings highlighted the differences in the rates of allogeneic RBC transfusion for non-White and female patients undergoing cardiac surgery, which is a well-established marker of poorer outcomes.

Abstract
Advances in cardiac surgical operative techniques and myocardial protection have dramatically improved outcomes in the past two decades. An unfortunate and unintended consequence is that 80% of the preventable morbidity and mortality following cardiac surgery now originates outside of the operating room. Our hope is that a renewed emphasis on evidence-based best practice and standardized perioperative care will reduce overall morbidity and mortality and improve patient-centric care. The Perioperative Quality Initiative (POQI) and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery–Cardiac Society (ERAS® Cardiac) have identified significant evidence gaps in perioperative medicine related to cardiac surgery, defined as areas in which there is significant controversy about how best to manage patients. These five areas of focus include patient blood management, goal-directed therapy, acute kidney injury, opioid analgesic reduction, and delirium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a blood conservation strategy in cardiac surgery, predominantly used in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and/or valve procedures. Although higher complexity cardiac procedures may benefit from ANH, concerns for hemodynamic instability, and organ injury during hemodilution hinder its wider acceptance. Laboratory and physiological parameters during hemodilution in complex cardiac surgeries have not been described. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This observational cohort (2019-2021) study included 169 patients who underwent thoracic aortic repair, multiple valve procedure, concomitant CABG with the aforementioned procedure, and/or redo sternotomies. Patients who received allogeneic blood were excluded. Statistical comparisons were performed between ANH (N = 66) and non-ANH controls (N = 103). ANH consisted of removal of blood at the beginning of surgery and its return after cardiopulmonary bypass. RESULTS Intraoperatively, the ANH group received more albumin (p = .04) and vasopressor medications (p = .01), while urine output was no different between ANH and controls. Bilateral cerebral oximetry (rSO2 ) values were similar before and after hemodilution. During bypass, rSO2 were discretely lower in the ANH versus control group (right rSO2 p = .03, left rSO2 p = .05). No differences in lactic acid values were detected across the procedural continuum. Postoperatively, no differences in extubation times, intensive care unit length of stay, kidney injury, stroke, or infection were demonstrated. DISCUSSION This study suggests hemodilution to be a safe and comparable blood conservation technique, even without accounting for potential benefits of reduced allogenic blood administration. The study may contribute to better understanding and wider acceptance of ANH protocols in high-risk cardiac surgeries.

Abstract
Swine (Sus scrofa domesticus) are commonly used large animal subjects for the study of disease and preclinical therapies. Organ machine perfusion is a therapy that has gained momentum as a research platform for the study of ex vivo organ preservation and therapeutics. However, complex perfusion circuits and research protocols often require large volumes of blood as perfusate. Here, we report a technique for increasing terminal blood yield during swine organ and blood procurement; our method involves acute normovolemic hemodilution and exsanguination via the femoral artery. We collected a total of 47 ± 4 mL/kg of blood and 4.3 ± 0.6 g/kg of hemoglobin, representing 73% ± 6% of the estimated blood volume and 64% ± 8% of the total estimated intravascular hemoglobin (n = 4). Neither pH, lactate, nor pO2 levels changed significantly during blood procurement. Acute normovolemic hemodilution is an effective method for increasing RBC and hemoglobin yield during blood procurement in swine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the real impact of allogeneic red blood cell transfusion (ABT) on postoperative outcomes in resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. METHODS Of 128 patients undergoing resectable PDAC surgery at our facility, 24 (18.8%) received ABT. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS), before and after propensity score matching (PSM), were compared among patients who did and did not receive ABT. RESULTS In the entire cohort, ABT was significantly associated with decreased RFS (P = 0.002) and DSS (P = 0.014) before PSM. Cox regression analysis identified ABT (risk ratio, 1.884; 95% confidence interval, 1.015-3.497; P = 0.045) as an independent prognostic factor for RFS. Univariate and multivariate analysis identified preoperative hemoglobin value, preoperative total bilirubin value, and intraoperative blood loss as significant independent risk factors for ABT. Using these 3 variables, PSM analysis created 16 pairs of patients. After PSM, the ABT group had significantly poorer RFS rates than the non-ABT group (median, 9.8 vs 15.8 months, P = 0.022). Similar tendencies were found in DSS rates (median, 19.4 vs 40.0 months, P = 0.071). CONCLUSIONS This study revealed certain negative effects of intraoperative ABT on postoperative survival outcomes in patients with resectable PDAC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Perioperative blood transfusion is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a blood conservation strategy associated with variable success, and rarely studied in more complex cardiac procedures. The study aim was to evaluate whether ANH improves coagulopathy and reduces blood transfusions in thoracic aortic surgeries. METHODS Single-center observational cohort study comparing ANH and standard institutional practice in patients who underwent thoracic aortic repair with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) from 2019 to 2021. RESULTS A total of 89 patients underwent ANH and 116 standard practice. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of demographic or major perioperative characteristics. In the ANH group coagulation tests before and after transfusion of autologous blood showed decreased INR and increased platelets, fibrinogen, all with p < 0.0005. Coagulation results in the ANH and control groups were not statistically different. The average number of transfused allogeneic products per patient was lower in the ANH versus control group: FFP 1.1 ± 1.6 versus 1.9 ± 2.3 (p = 0.003), platelets 0.6 ± 0.8 versus 1.2 ± 1.3 (p = 0.0008), and cryoprecipitate 0.3 ± 0.7 versus 0.7 ± 1.1 (p = 0.008). Reduction in red blood cell transfusion was not statistically significant. The percentage of patients who received any transfusion was 53.9% in ANH and 59.5% in the control group (p = 0.42). There was no significant difference in major adverse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS ANH is a safe blood conservation strategy for surgical repairs of the thoracic aorta. Laboratory data suggests ANH can improve some coagulation values after separation from CPB, and significantly reduce the number of transfused FFP, platelets and cryoprecipitate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia is a frequent process of morbidity and mortality in body contouring procedures. In aesthetic surgery, there are no standardized processes to minimize bleeding during surgery. For this reason, a study was designed to implement patient blood management strategies to reduce bleeding and transfusions in patients undergoing body contouring operations. METHODS From January of 2017 to May of 2018, a prospective cohort-type observational study was conducted, including two groups of patients undergoing single or combined body contouring procedures. The first group did not receive patient blood management strategies, whereas the second group did receive these strategies. These measures consisted of preoperative strategies to ensure the patient had optimal hemoglobin and hematocrit levels and supportive intraoperative measures to minimize blood loss. The results were validated with different statistical tests according to the variables studied. RESULTS A total of 409 patients were included in the study and were divided into two groups. The anthropometric and hemoglobin variables were similar in both groups. The 207 patients for whom patient blood management strategies were implemented lost an average of 1.2 g/dl less hemoglobin at 72 hours than the 202 patients for whom patient blood management strategies were not implemented (p ≤ 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Patient blood management strategies, such as increasing hemoglobin before surgery, and strategies to minimize blood loss during surgery, proved to be effective at reducing bleeding in patients undergoing body contouring surgery, also decreasing the need to perform postoperative blood transfusions. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, II.

Effects of whole blood storage in a polyolefin blood bag on platelets for acute normovolemic hemodilution. Sci Rep 2021; 11:12201. [PMID: 34108583 PMCID: PMC8190119 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-91725-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) is a potential transfusion method for platelets, as well as for red blood cells. However, previous studies have shown that whole blood storage in ANH decreases platelet aggregability by 14.7–76.3% and that this decrease is not recovered by reinfusion. We investigated whether a new whole blood storage method for 6 h using a polyolefin bag, based on the platelet concentrates storage method, would maintain platelet function better than the conventional method using a polyvinyl chloride bag. We demonstrated that storage of whole blood in a polyolefin bag maintained ADP-induced aggregation rates at more than twofold higher than those in a polyvinyl chloride bag, and also significantly suppressed P-selectin expression, a platelet activation marker (ADP-induced aggregation rates: 24.6 ± 5.1% vs. 51.7 ± 11.5%, p = 0.002; P-selectin expression; 50.3 ± 8.4MFI vs. 31.6 ± 9.3MFI, p = 0.018). These results could be attributed to the high gas permeability of polyolefin, which lowered PCO2 and maintained a high pH with or without agitation. There were no significant changes in platelet count and red blood cell parameters due to the storage methods. Our results suggest that ANH using polyolefin bags is advantageous in improving hemostatic function compared to the conventional method.

Abstract
Objectives To assess the safety and clinical benefits of intraoperative acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) in complex spine surgery. Design Prospective comparative cohort study. Setting A private orthopaedic hospital in Ghana. Patients Seventy-six patients who underwent complex spine deformity surgery. Interventions Patients were randomly assigned to two groups. 45 patients to the acute normovolaemic haemodilution (ANH) or Group 1 and 31patients to the non-ANH or Group 2. Following anesthetic administration and before incision, autologous blood was collected from patients in Group1 and was reinfused during/shortly after surgery while patients in Group2 were transfused with compatible allogeneic blood intraoperatively. Main Outcome Measures Changes in haemodynamic parameters and incidence of allogeneic transfusions and related complications. Results The mean age (years), gender ratio, deformity size and aetiology, fusion levels, and operative times were similar in both groups. Blood loss (ml) of patients in groups 1 and 2 were 1583ml± 830.48 vs 1623ml ± 681.34, p=0.82, respectively. The rate of allogeneic blood transfusion in groups 1 and 2 were 71% vs 80.65%, p=0.88, respectively. Haemoglobin levels (g/dL) in groups 1 and 2 were comparable in both groups at Post-operative Day (POD) 0 and POD 1. Incidence of minor allogeneic transfusion reaction was 1/45 vs 1/31, p=0.80, group-1 and group-2, respectively. Conclusion Acute normovolaemic haemodilution can be safely performed in complex spine surgery in underserved regions. However, its use does not obviate allogeneic transfusion in patients with complex spine deformities in whom large volumes of blood loss is expected. Funding None declared.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of autologous whole blood (AWB) collection on intraoperative/postoperative allogeneic blood transfusion rate in complex aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest. METHODS This retrospective study included adults who underwent aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest at a single institution between 2014 and 2019. Out of 509 cases (414 patients), 110 (22%) received the AWB protocol. We performed propensity-score matching, including 35 preoperative and procedural variables, which resulted in 95 well-matched pairs, to compare outcomes in patients who received AWB protocol versus those who did not. Study outcomes were percentage of patients who received transfusion of allogeneic blood products intraoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS Mean volume of collected autologous blood was 826 ± 263 mL. Intraoperatively, fewer AWB patients received red blood cell concentrate (33% vs 49%; P = .02), plasma (35% vs 62%; P = .0002), platelets (61% vs 81%; P = .003), and cryoprecipitate (43% vs 56%; P = .08) compared with non-AWB patients. During the entire hospital stay, the differences in transfusion rate between the 2 groups were: red blood cells (58% vs 62%; P = .6), plasma (49% vs 66%; P = .01), platelets (72% vs 82%; P = .09), and cryoprecipitate (56% vs 63%; P = .3). CONCLUSIONS Pre-pump autologous blood collection may reduce the need for intraoperative transfusion of allogenic non-red-cell blood products in patients undergoing complex aortic surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest. A larger study is needed to clarify the influence of this association on patient outcomes and resource utilization.

Abstract
Total hip replacement (THR) has proved to be a reliable treatment for the end stage of hip osteoarthritis. It is a common orthopaedic procedure with excellent results, but is associated with significant blood loss and high rates of allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT). The potential complications and adverse events after ABT, combined with the ongoing research, have resulted in multimodel, multidisciplinary blood management strategies adoption, aiming to reduce the blood loss and transfusion rates. Many reviews and meta-analyses have tried to demonstrate the best blood management strategies. The purpose of this study is to review any evidence-based blood conserving technique, dividing them in three stages: preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative.

Abstract
Background When used during surgery, antifibrinolytic hemostatic agents such as lysine analogues are effective at reducing blood loss and the need for transfusions. Despite proven efficacy, use of hemostatic agents remains low during some surgeries. Our objective was to explore surgeon opinions about, and use of lysine analogues in, oncologic surgeries at a large tertiary care academic institution. Methods We administered a survey to surgeons who perform high-transfusion-risk oncologic surgeries at a large academic hospital in Ottawa, Ontario. Design and distribution of the survey followed a modified Dillman method. To ensure that the survey questionnaire was relevant, clear, and concise, we performed informant interviews, cognitive interviews, and pilot-testing. The final survey consisted of 19 questions divided into 3 sections: respondent demographics, use of hemostatic agents, and potential clinical trial opinions. Results Of 28 surgeons, 24 (86%) participated. When asked to indicate the frequency of lysine analogue use, "never" accounted for 46% of the responses, and "rarely" (<10% of the time) accounted for 23% of the responses. Reasons for never using included "unfamiliar with benefits" and "prefer alternatives." Fifteen surgeons (63%) felt that a trial was needed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of lysine analogues in their cancer field. Conclusions Our survey found that lysine analogues are infrequently used during oncologic surgeries at our institution. Many surgeons are unfamiliar with the benefits and side effects of lysine analogues and, alternatively, use topical hemostatic agents. Our results demonstrate that future trials exploring the efficacy and safety of lysine analogues in oncologic surgery are needed.

Abstract
Patient blood management (PBM) has been proposed as a standard of care in modern perioperative medicine. PBM-related interventions usually are implemented as bundles, but randomized controlled trials on the implementation of PBM as a bundle are missing. This special article focuses on the current evidence and controversies in the clinical practice of PBM and on emerging data related to specific PBM-related interventions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Strong evidence for many PBM-related interventions is limited because of missing studies or the poor quality of published findings and study endpoints. Restrictive blood transfusion and timely interventions to maintain hemoglobin concentration and to reduce blood loss potentially might result in improved patient outcome, although the latter has yet to be proven.

Abstract
Purpose This study was conducted to time-course changes of clotting function of withdrawing blood for acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH). Methods Twelve enrolled patients who underwent ANH from August, 2018 to January, 2019. Blood was withdrawn into blood collection pack and shaken at 60–80 rpm for 24 h in room temperature. Clot formation was evaluated using rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM™) just after blood withdrawal (control) and 4, 8, 12 and 24 h after blood withdrawal. We compared with the control value and each value of extrinsically-activated test with tissue factor (EXTEM), intrinsically-activated test using ellagic acid (INTEM) and fibrin-based extrinsically activated test with tissue factor (FIBTEM). Results Maximum clot firmness (MCF) of FIBTEM did not change significantly. MCF of EXTEM was significantly decreased time-dependent manner but all MCF of EXTEM were within a normal range. Maximum percent change in MCF of EXTEM was 12.4% [95% confidence interval (CI): 9.0–15.8%]. The difference in the maximum clot elasticity (MCE) between EXTEM and FIBTEM (MCEEXTEM−MCEFIBTEM) was significantly decrease from 8 h after blood withdrawal. Maximum percent change in MCEEXTEM−MCEFIBTEM was 30.2% (95% CI:17.6–42.9%) at 24 h after blood withdrawal. Conclusion Even though the MCE significantly decreased in a time-dependent manner, MCF of FIBTEM and EXTEM was normal up to 24 h storage. The blood of ANH can use for the purpose of hemostasis at least 8 h stored at room temperature after blood withdrawal. Future studies are needed to elucidate the clinical impact on the patient after delayed transfusion of ANH blood with regard to patient’s hemostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Efficacy of minimal acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) in avoiding homologous blood transfusion during cardiovascular surgery remains controversial. Postoperative bleeding and transfusion remain a source of morbidity and cost after open heart operations. To better understand the role of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), we compared ANH with standard intraoperative care in a systematic review including a standard pairwise meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHODS We searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) up to April 1, 2020. The primary outcome was to assess the incidence of ANH-related number of allogeneic red blood cell units (ARBCu) transfused. Secondary outcomes included the rate of allogeneic blood transfusion and estimated total blood loss. RESULTS A total of 22 RCTs including 1688 patients were identified for the present meta-analysis. Of these studies, 19 were about CABG with on-pump and three with off-pump. Our pooled result indicated that patients received ANH experienced fewer ARBCu transfusions, with a standardized mean difference (SMD) of -0.60 (95%CI -0.96 to -0.24; P = 0.001). The rate of allogeneic blood transfusion in ANH group was significant reduced when compared with controls, with a relative risk (RR) of 0.65 (95%CI 0.52 to 0.82; P = 0.0002). In addition, less postoperative estimated total blood loss was present, with a SMD of -0.53 (95%CI -0.88 to -0.17; P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS The present meta-analysis indicated that ANH could reduce the number of ARBCu transfused in the CABG surgery setting. In addition, ANH could also reduce the rate of ARBCu transfusion and estimated total blood loss for CABG patients.

Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a pandemic. Global health care now faces unprecedented challenges with widespread and rapid human-to-human transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and high morbidity and mortality with COVID-19 worldwide. Across the world, medical care is hampered by a critical shortage of not only hand sanitizers, personal protective equipment, ventilators, and hospital beds, but also impediments to the blood supply. Blood donation centers in many areas around the globe have mostly closed. Donors, practicing social distancing, some either with illness or undergoing self-quarantine, are quickly diminishing. Drastic public health initiatives have focused on containment and "flattening the curve" while invaluable resources are being depleted. In some countries, the point has been reached at which the demand for such resources, including donor blood, outstrips the supply. Questions as to the safety of blood persist. Although it does not appear very likely that the virus can be transmitted through allogeneic blood transfusion, this still remains to be fully determined. As options dwindle, we must enact regional and national shortage plans worldwide and more vitally disseminate the knowledge of and immediately implement patient blood management (PBM). PBM is an evidence-based bundle of care to optimize medical and surgical patient outcomes by clinically managing and preserving a patient's own blood. This multinational and diverse group of authors issue this "Call to Action" underscoring "The Essential Role of Patient Blood Management in the Management of Pandemics" and urging all stakeholders and providers to implement the practical and commonsense principles of PBM and its multiprofessional and multimodality approaches.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The study assessed the role of acute hemodilution in the blood transfusion rate in patients submitted to surgical treatment of scoliosis. METHODS Retrospective observational study performed at Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo (HC-FMRP?USP). Medical charts of patients submitted to elective correction of scoliosis between January 1996 and December 2016 were analyzed. Variables assessed were: age, weight, sex, presence of comorbidities, data regarding anesthesia and surgery, lab data, adverse events and blood transfusion rate. The final sample consisted of 33 procedures performed by the same anesthesiologist and same surgeon, divided into two groups: Hemodilution Group (n = 16) and Control Group (n = 17). Indication of acute normovolemic hemodilution was determined by patient refusal of blood transfusion for religious reasons. RESULTS The sample was statistically homogeneous and the groups were compared in terms of the attributes analyzed. The volume of homologous blood used by the Hemodilution Group was significantly lower than the Control Group (p = 0.0016). The percentage of patients who required transfusion was 12.5% in the Hemodilution Group, while it was 70.69% (p = 0.0013) in the Control Group. Upon hospital discharge, mean values of hemoglobin and hematocrit between groups did not present significant differences (p = 0.0679; p = 0.1027, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Acute normovolemic hemodilution, in scoliosis correction surgeries reduces blood transfusion rates, meeting patient needs without increasing adverse events or infection rates.

Acute normovolemic hemodilution reduced allogeneic blood transfusion without increasing perioperative complications in patients undergoing free-flap reconstruction of the head and neck. J Anesth 2019; 34:187-194. [PMID: 31768720 PMCID: PMC7223952 DOI: 10.1007/s00540-019-02714-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2019] [Accepted: 11/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Purpose The present case–control study was conducted to evaluate whether acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) can reduce the need for perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) and affect the incidence of perioperative complications in free-flap reconstruction of the head and neck. Methods This single-center, retrospective, observational study included the perioperative data of 123 patients who underwent free-flap reconstruction of the head and neck following oncological surgery. Patients were divided into the following two groups according to whether they received ANH: ANH group and non-ANH group. We investigated whether ANH can reduce the need for perioperative ABT using propensity score-adjusted logistic regression analysis. Results Of the 123 patients, 113 patients were assessed; 57 patients were in the ANH group and 56 patients were in the non-ANH group. The rate [ANH group vs. non-ANH group, n (%): 2 (3.5%) vs. 23 (41.1%), p < 0.0001] and amount [median (IQR): 0 mL (0, 0) vs. 0 mL (0, 280), p < 0.0001] of ABT were significantly lower in the ANH group than in the non-ANH group. Propensity score-adjusted multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that ANH use [odds ratio (OR): 0.040; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.005, 0.320; p = 0.0024)] was one of the independent predictors of perioperative ABT. There were no significant differences in the incidences of post-operative complications between the two groups. Conclusion ANH use can reduce the need for perioperative ABT in patients undergoing free-flap reconstruction of the head and neck without increasing the incidence of post-operative complications.

Effect of Perioperative Transfusion on Postoperative Morbidity Following Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy for Benign Indications. J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2019; 27:200-205. [PMID: 30930213 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2019.03.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Revised: 03/25/2019] [Accepted: 03/26/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE To examine the impact of perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) on postoperative infectious wound occurrences, sepsis-related events. and venous thromboembolism. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Hospitals participating in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP). PATIENTS Patients who underwent a minimally invasive hysterectomy for benign indications between 2012 and 2016 were selected from the ACS-NSQIP. Patients with concurrent open hysterectomy, prolapse, or malignancy were excluded. Those with preoperative, intraoperative or postoperative red blood cell transfusion were considered positive for perioperative ABT. INTERVENTION Minimally invasive hysterectomy for benign indications. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Univariate analyses were performed to determine associations of preoperative and intraoperative patient variables and postoperative outcomes with perioperative ABT. Multivariate analysis was completed to test the independent associations of perioperative ABT with outcomes while adjusting for possible confounders. Of the 90,231 patients who met our inclusion criteria, 1447 had a perioperative transfusion (1.6%). Perioperative ABT was associated with multiple preoperative variables. After multivariate analysis, perioperative ABT remained significantly associated with infectious wound events (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9-2.58; p < .001), thromboembolic events (aOR, 2.75; 95% CI, 1.5-5.05; p = .001), and sepsis events (aOR, 6.49; 95% CI, 4.29-9.79, p < .001). CONCLUSION ABT is a commonly used to treat perioperative anemia in patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. The results of this study, however, show that perioperative ABT increases a patient's risk of postoperative complications following minimally invasive hysterectomy. Gynecologic surgeons should consider the use of alternative treatments for perioperative anemia, including intravenous iron supplementation, erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, normovolemic hemodilution, and preoperative hormonal suppression, to help reduce the morbidity associated with perioperative ABT.

Abstract
Patient blood management is currently defined as the application of evidence based medical and surgical concepts designed to maintain hemoglobin (Hb), optimize hemostasis and minimize blood loss to improve patient outcome. Blood management focus on the perioperative management of patients undergoing surgery or other invasive procedures in which significant blood loss occurs or is expected. Preventive strategies are emphasized to identify and manage anemia, reduce iatrogenic blood losses, optimize hemostasis (e.g. pharmacologic therapy, and point of care testing); establish decision thresholds for the appropriate administration of blood therapy. This goal was motivated historically by known blood risks including transmissible infectious disease, transfusion reactions, and potential effects of immunomodulation. Patient blood management has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the new standard of care and has urged all 193-member countries of WHO to implement this concept. There is a pressing need for this new "standard of care" so as to reduce blood transfusion and promote the availability of transfusion alternatives. Patient blood management therefore encompasses an evidence-based medical and surgical approach that is multidisciplinary (transfusion medicine specialists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and critical care specialists) and multiprofessional (physicians, nurses, pump technologists and pharmacists). The Italian Society of Anesthesia, Analgesia, Resuscitation and Intensive Care (SIAARTI) organized a consensus project involving a Task Force of expert anesthesiologists that reviewing literature provide appropriate levels of care and good clinical practices. Hence, this article focuses on achieving goals of PBM in the perioperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hemodilution was introduced initially as a blood conservation technique to reduce allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing surgical procedures. Although the technique has been approved by the National Institute of Health consensus panel, limits of hemodilution under anesthetic conditions have not been established as they have in animal models. METHODS A novel multi-compartmental modeling approach has been proposed that includes the effect of anesthesia to quantify the effect of hemodilution on myocardial oxygen balance during myocardial ischemia. RESULTS The results showed that isovolemic hemodilution would cause detrimental effects around a hematocrit of 15%. Even though the fall in oxygen content caused by the decrease in hemoglobin concentration was compensated by an increase in coronary blood flow induced by hypoxic vasodilation and decreased viscosity, the endocardial tissue received less oxygen compared to the epicardial regions, and this sub-endocardial ischemia eventually led to cardiac failure. Statistical analysis also showed that the type of acellular replacement fluid failed to affect the heart rate, the stroke index or the cardiac index during hemodilution, and supplemental oxygen improved the endocardial oxygen supply. CONCLUSION The model validates the clinical conclusions that sub-endocardial ischemia causes cardiac failure under extreme hemodilution conditions and the model can also be easily integrated into other human simulators.

Abstract
Background Considering the functional role of red blood cells (RBC) in maintaining oxygen supply to tissues, RBC transfusion can be a life-saving intervention in situations of severe bleeding or anemia. RBC transfusion is often inevitable to address intraoperative massive bleeding; it is a key component in safe perioperative patient management. Unlike general medical resources, packed RBCs (pRBCs) have limited availability because their supply relies entirely on voluntary donations. Additionally, excessive utilization of pRBCs may aggravate prognosis or increase the risk of developing infectious diseases. Appropriate perioperative RBC transfusion is, therefore, crucial for the management of patient safety and medical resource conservation. These concerns motivated us to develop the present clinical practice guideline for evidence-based efficient and safe perioperative RBC transfusion management considering the current clinical landscape. Methods This guideline was obtained after the revision and refinement of exemplary clinical practice guidelines developed in advanced countries. This was followed by rigorous evidence-based reassessment considering the healthcare environment of the country. Results This guideline covers all important aspects of perioperative RBC transfusion, such as preoperative anemia management, appropriate RBC storage period, and leukoreduction (removal of white blood cells using filters), reversal of perioperative bleeding tendency, strategies for perioperative RBC transfusion, appropriate blood management protocols, efforts to reduce blood transfusion requirements, and patient monitoring during a perioperative transfusion. Conclusions This guideline will aid decisions related to RBC transfusion in healthcare settings and minimize patient risk associated with unnecessary pRBC transfusion.

A prospective trial of acute normovolemic hemodilution in patients undergoing primary cytoreductive surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. Gynecol Oncol 2018; 151:433-437. [PMID: 30336947 PMCID: PMC6615481 DOI: 10.1016/j.ygyno.2018.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2018] [Revised: 09/26/2018] [Accepted: 10/02/2018] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
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
A 35-year-old Jehovah's Witness patient with total placenta previa was referred to our hospital at 30 weeks of gestation. She refused autologous and allogeneic blood transfusions, but agreed to receive acute normovolaemic haemodilution, intraoperative blood salvage and biological products. At 35 weeks, she underwent emergent caesarean delivery because of labour pains. Multidisciplinary therapy, including the insertion of balloon catheters into the bilateral common iliac arteries, acute normovolaemic haemodilution and intraoperative blood salvage, avoided hysterectomy; however, blood loss included amniotic fluid which was estimated to be 1910 mL. These treatments may be effective for total placenta previa in blood-refusal patients.
