Acute normovolemic hemodilution to avoid blood transfusion during intracranial aneurysm surgery in a patient with atypical antibodies

Background The retrospective study was designed to compare the effectiveness and safety of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH), tranexamic Acid (TXA), and a combination of ANH and TXA in lumbar spinal fusion surgery. Methods Data of 120 patients underwent multi-level posterior spinal fusion for treating degenerative lumbar disease between June 2013 and December 2017 was collected, retrospectively. Four treatment strategies were enrolled, including ANH, TXA, a combination of ANH and TXA, and without any patient blood management. Intraoperative blood loss, hemoglobin and PCV at the end of surgery and at the postoperative first day, and postoperative drain collection, and intraoperative and postoperative transfusion and rate of transfusion were also collected. Results Intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drain collection of the TXA group, ANH combined with TXA group were statistically lower than those in the control group and ANH group (P < 0.05). Intraoperative and postoperative transfusion amount and rate of intra-operative allogenic transfusion of the ANH group, TXA group, and ANH combined with TXA group were statistically lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Hemoglobin and PCV at postoperative the first day in the ANH group, TXA group, and ANH combined with TXA group were significant higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The combination of TXA and ANH group achieved the lowest intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drain collection and allogenic transfusion rate. Conclusion A combination of TXA and ANH might be an effective strategy for reducing the rate of transfusion and blood loss in patients underwent lumbar spinal fusion surgery.
