  • A modified collection and rapid infusion system for shed whole Blood Autotransfusion during aortic aneurysm surgery.
    The journal of extra-corporeal technology, 1995
    Co-Authors: Rene J. Dekkers, R. J. Rizzo, Desmond J. Fitzgerald, L. H. Cohn
    Abstract:

    We describe our experience in 10 patients (5 males) undergoing resection of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm or a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm in which a modified shed whole Blood collection and Autotransfusion system was used. This modification allows several options for the processing and Autotransfusion of shed Blood : use of the cell saving device or the ultrafiltration of collected Blood, and the Autotransfusion of unprocessed shed whole Blood. Either low dose heparin or sodium citrate was used for anticoagulation. All 10 patients underwent Autotransfusion and volume resuscitation with the modified rapid infusion device. Total Autotransfusion ranged from 1400 ml to 7843 ml. Ultrafiltration volumes ranged from 600 ml to 1100 ml. There were no intraoperative deaths and no patient reoperations for bleeding. Arterial Blood gases, potassium, and platelet counts were all within the normal laboratory ranges. This modification enables the clinician to process poor quality shed Blood and reinfuse whole Blood, in an attempt to decrease the need for homologous Blood products.

  • shed whole Blood Autotransfusion during aortic aneurysm operation with a modified collection infusion system
    The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995
    Co-Authors: Rene J. Dekkers, R. J. Rizzo, Desmond J. Fitzgerald, Simon C Body, L. H. Cohn
    Abstract:

    We describe a modified shed whole Blood collection and Autotransfusion system that allows several options for the processing and Autotransfusion of shed Blood: use of the Cell Saver (Haemonetics, Braintree, MA) or the ultrafiltration of collected Blood, and the Autotransfusion of unprocessed shed whole Blood. The system has proved useful for transfusion in the setting of thoracic aortic operations, and we describe here our experience in 5 patients undergoing resection of a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm in whom this system was used.

  • intraoperative Autotransfusion in aortic surgery
    Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1993
    Co-Authors: Kenneth Ouriel, Cynthia K Shortell, James A Deweese
    Abstract:

    Abstract Purpose:  Intraoperative Autotransfusion is frequently used in aortic surgery, despite the paucity of data regarding its safety and efficacy. This study was designed to compare whole Blood Autotransfusion with homologous transfusion for the replacement of Blood lost during abdominal aortic procedures. Methods:  Whole Blood Autotransfusion was evaluated in 200 patients undergoing aortic reconstructive procedures during a 3-year period. Collection and reinfusion of unwashed filtered shed Blood was undertaken in 100 patients, and clinical, laboratory, and economic parameters were compared with those in a group of 100 patients undergoing aortic operation with homologous banked Blood replacement. Results:  The two groups were comparable with respect to demography, the type of procedure, baseline laboratory profile, and the frequency of coexistent medical illnesses. The amount of Blood salvaged and reinfused averaged 1729 ± 68 ml in the Autotransfusion group. Patients undergoing Autotransfusion received a mean of 0.6 ± 0.1 units of banked Blood during operation, compared with 3.4 ± 0.1 units in the homologous group ( p 3 /mm 3 , p p p p p Conclusion:  These data suggest that Autotransfusion of unwashed, filtered Blood is a safe and efficacious alternative to homologous Blood replacement in patients undergoing major aortic reconstructive procedures.
