Abstract
Intraoperative autologous blood predonation is reported to be useful for the prevention of homologous blood transfusion in cardiac operations, especially in on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). However, CABG is now performed more often off-pump than on-pump. We analyzed the major factors of homologous blood transfusion in 25 consecutive cases of valvular heart operation with intraoperative autologous blood predonation except those with preoperative autologous blood donation. Homologous blood was not transfused in 18 cases, but was in 7 cases only after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The homologous transfusion was not correlated with body weight, CPB dilution or duration, or preoperative hematocrit level, but was found to correlate with age (R2=0.289, p=0.0413), bleeding output (R2=0.197, p=0.0485), and predonation blood volume (R2=0.436, p=0.0152). In conclusion, suitable intraoperative predonation may reduce the necessity for homologous blood transfusion in valvular heart operations.
