Abstract

The feasibility of predonated autologous blood transfusion and intraoperative blood salvage in elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair was studied. Twenty consecutive patients were evaluated, of whom five were excluded according to protocol criteria. Patients each donated 1 unit blood 14 and 7 days before operation. A third unit was withdrawn in the anaesthetic room and replaced with Hartmann's solution, producing a haemodiluted state. Intraoperative losses were minimized using the Haemonetics Cell Saver III Plus autotransfusion system. Predonated blood from two patients passed its expiry date owing to repeated operation postponements, leaving 13 patients for study. The mean(s.d.) intraoperative blood loss was 700(300) ml with a mean(s.d.) intraoperative salvage of 420(300) ml. Two patients were transfused intraoperative salvage of 420(300) ml. Two patients were transfused according to clinical need. Thus nine patients safely avoided homologous transfusion. With autologous predonation, haemodilution and intraoperative blood salvage, elective aortic aneurysm repair can be performed safely with minimal need for homologous blood.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
