Heparin Content of Cell-Salvaged Blood After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
نویسندگان
چکیده
Blood remaining in the extracorporeal circuit (ECC) is frequently concentrated and washed before transfusion to the patient after termination of cardiopulmonary bypass. As additional doses of protamine are often administered to reverse the effects of suspected heparin content of this blood, we determined activated clotting times (ACTs) and heparin concentration pre and post cell salvaged blood administration. After a I liter normal saline wash, administration of the cells obtained using the Cobe Baylor Rapid Autologous Transfusion (BRAT) system caused no change in either patient ACT (p=0.19) or plasma heparin concentrations. We conclude that additional protamine administration is unwarranted after transfusion of concentrated, washed red blood cells (RBCs) from the ECC with the Cobe BRAT cell salvage device.

A prospective randomised comparison of cardiotomy suction and cell saver for recycling shed blood during cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVE Post-operative neuropsychological complications correlate with intra-operative microemboli in the middle cerebral artery. When severe neurological complications follow cardiac surgery, diffuse cerebral fat emboli are present at autopsy. Recycling shed blood with cardiotomy suction is an important source of cerebral fat microemboli. A cell saver may reduce this. METHODS Twenty patien...
متن کاملPulmonary Implications of Filtering Various Mediators of Morbidity Found in Salvaged Blood
Leukocyte reduction of residual circuit blood following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been demonstrated to improve lung function and reduce the inflammatory response after surgery. In this study, the effect of lipid/leuko-reduction of salvaged blood on pulmonary function and the inflammatory response was examined. Fifteen patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery were randomly assigned to...
متن کاملHeparin Coated Cardiopulmonary Bypass Circuits in Coronary Artery Surgery- A Clinical Study
Abstract------------------Cardiopulmonary bypass with systemic heparinization causes trauma to blood cells and coagulation defects. Artificial surfaces could be coated by end-linkage binding of heparin (Carmeda Bioactive Surface CBASTM). The use of such surfaces during cardiopulmonary bypass in animals resulted in less postoperative blood loss and better preservation of blood cells. Heparin-coa...

Influence of mechanical cell salvage on red blood cell aggregation, deformability, and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
BACKGROUND Mechanical cell salvage is increasingly used during cardiac surgery. Although this procedure is considered safe, it is unknown whether it affects the red blood cell (RBC) function, especially the RBC aggregation, deformability, and the contents of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). This study examines the following: (1) whether the cell salvage procedure influences RBC function; and (...
