CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY WITH FROZEN AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD.

Author(s) : EBINE K.

Summary

PREVENTION OF POST-TRANSFUSION HEPATITIS IS STILL A PROBLEM IN CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY. THE AUTHORS INITIATED THE CRYOPRESERVATION OF AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD FOR TRANSFUSION IN ELECTIVE CARDIAC SURGERY IN 1981. THE STUDY INCLUDES 85 SURGICAL CASES IN WHICH FROZEN ALLOGENEIC AND/OR AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD WAS USED. IN THE 85 SURGICAL CASES, THERE WERE 32 CASES IN WHICH AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD ONLY (GROUP I) WAS USED ; 11 CASES WITH AUTOLOGOUS AND ALLOGENEIC FROZEN BLOOD (GROUP II) ; 18 CASES WITH AUTOLOGOUS AND ALLOGENEIC FROZEN, AND ALLOGENEIC NONFROZEN, BLOOD (GROUP III) ; AND 24 CASES WITH ALLOGENEIC FROZEN PLUS ALLOGENEIC NONFROZEN BLOOD (GROUP IV). NO HEPATITIS DEVELOPED IN GROUPS I OR II, BUT THERE WAS POSITIVE HEPATITIS IN GROUPS III (5.6%) AND IV (8.3%). OF 357 CASES WITH ALLOGENEIC NONFROZEN WHOLE BLOOD WHO UNDERWENT SURGERY IN THE SAME PERIOD, THE INCIDENCE RATE OF HEPATITIS WAS 13.7% (49/357). PATIENTS AWAITING ELECTIVE SURGERY CAN STORE ONS NOR IMMUNOLOGIC REACTIONS WILL BE PRODUCED IN PATIENTS WHO UNDERGO SURGERY WITH THE CRYO-AUTOTRANSFUSION AS OPPOSED TO THE ALLOGENEIC NONFROZEN BLOOD.
