Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac surgery has developed dramatically since the first open-he art operations were performed in the mid 1950s. Although the improvement of surgical technique, extracorporeal circulation, and postoperative management has contributed to a marked reduction of morbidity and mortality, the development of cardiac surgery to its present state would not have been possible without blood substitution by homologous donor blood. Only 20 years ago, open-heart operations required an average of 8 units of blood preserves. The excessive need of donor blood in those early days was mainly due to premature surgical technique, insecure control of anticoagulation, severe blood trauma by extracorporeal circulation, and the lack of retransfusion technologies that would have allowed the reuse of shed mediastinal blood. The introduction of new technologies, such as normovolemic hemodilution, in traoperative autotransfusion, postoperative return of shed mediastinal blood, and predonation of autologous blood has greatly reduced donor blood requirements. At present the majority of routine coronary artery surgical procedures can be performed without any blood transfusion. Blood loss, however, may be considerable in patients undergoing complex valve surgery or reoperations, as they often require several units of transfused blood. Blood conservation has now become an area of major interest for the cardiac surgeon. This increased concern is caused by infectious complications of blood transfusion, in particular hepatitis and, more recently, AIDS.

Download or read book Blood Conservation in Cardiac Surgery written by Robert David Slight and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiac surgery is traditionally a heavy user of blood and blood products. Until recently, the benefits of transfusion have been largely assumed and the risks relatively ignored. This has prompted us to examine new ways of minimising patient exposure to donor red blood cells (RBC's). At the present time, most clinical guidelines for RBC transfusion are based mainly upon haemoglobin concentration ([Hb]). As [Hb] may be artificially depressed by the haemodiluting effect of the heavy clear fluid load associated with cardiac surgery, transfusing based upon [Hb] alone may overestimate the requirement for RBC's. Where such haemodilution is present, systemic oxygenation may be maintained through a viscosity mediated patho-physiological response. The work reported in this thesis attempts to explore the relative contribution of both red cell volume (RCV) and plasma volume (PV) to the anaemia encountered following cardiac surgery while also examining factors that may be associated with a low post-operative RCV. In addition, we have explored on a theoretical basis what [Hb] would represent a critical level of systemic oxygen delivery (DO2Crit). Taken together, this has allowed us to develop an RCV based transfusion guideline aimed at reducing the incidence of unnecessary (and potentially counter-productive) RBC transfusion. As RBC's may be associated with pulmonary endothelial damage, we have also studied the impact of the RCV guideline developed on post-operative acute lung injury (ALI). Finally, in a separate study, the merits of a simple activated clotting time (ACT) based system of anti-coagulation management for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) versus that of an individualised heparin management system (HMS) are described.
Download or read book Essentials of Blood Product Management in Anesthesia Practice written by Corey S. Scher and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book is written to inform and improve outcomes of patients in need of blood management during surgical procedures. Information is presented in an accessible format, allowing for immediate use in clinical practice. Beginning with an overview of the history of blood transfusions, early chapters present the foundational information needed to comprehend information in later chapters. Nuanced procedures, drugs, and techniques are covered, including new biologicals to assist clotting and blood substitutes. Further discussions focus on potential complications seen in blood transfusions, such as diseases of the coagulation system, pathogen transmissions, and acute lung injuries. Chapters also examine the complexities of treating specific demographics, of which include the geriatric patient and patients suffering from substance abuse. Essentials of Blood Product Management in Anesthesia Practice is an invaluable guide for anesthesiologists, surgeons, trauma physicians, and solid organ transplant providers.

Download or read book Hemostasis in Cardiac Surgery written by Safuh Attar and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical knowledge about blood, its use in transfusions, and blood products has grown exponentially, as well as awareness about its safety, risks and costs. In a discipline where risks are proportional to benefits, medical specialists involved in open heart surgery need to have the latest information to make informed decisions. Dr. Attar's work reflects the contributors' direct interest and experience in blood and cardiac surgery introducing the latest information on blood and its use, hemostasis, blood conservation techniques and safety, the risks involved, alternatives to blood transfusions, the diagnosis and therapy of coagulopathy associated with cardiac surgery, and medicolegal aspects. Medical advances include the latest intraoperative diagnostic measures for platelet functions and therapy strategies for hemostasis abnormalities with cardiac surgery. This work is unique for its extensive and critical description of instruments and tests used intraoperatively, especially for the evaluation of the coagulation factors and platelets, the algorithms for transfusion guidelines and the detailed application of APROTININ and other antifibrinolytic agents in minimizing bleeding in cardiac surgery. Written for cardiac and transplant specialists -- from surgeons, anesthesiologists, surgical nurses to perfusionists -- this valuable and timely reference thoroughly explores the subject of blood transfusions in open heart surgery, its clinical applications, the current status of blood substitutes and important legal aspects.
