Abstract
To investigate the quality of cell salvaged (CS) blood in patients undergoing hemihepatectomy (study group) and compare it with CS-blood from aortic surgery (control group). Observational study. Operating room in a university hospital. 6 patients undergoing hemihepatectomy or aortobifemoral bypass with intraoperative blood loss of more than 800 mL. Samples were drawn from the central venous catheter, from the reservoir of a CS recovery system, and from the processed blood in each patient to determine interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), complement C3a, and the terminal complement complex C5b-9. Microbiological analysis included colony count after cultivation in aerobic and anaerobic medium as well as enrichment culture for 6 days. In the hemihepatectomy group, levels of IL-6, C3a, and C5b-9 were significantly higher in the reservoir than in samples obtained from the central venous catheter. After the washing procedure, levels of IL-6, C3a, and C5b-9 were lower in the liver resection group than in each patient's own plasma levels. In all patients undergoing aortobifemoral bypass and in 5 patients undergoing hemihepatectomy, blood samples were sterile or showed growth of commensal skin microflora in low n...Continue Reading
