Leukocyte-Reduced Transfusions in Cardiac Surgery

Abstract: An implementation trial of leukocyte-reduced transfusions in cardiac surgery (primary coronary artery bypass graft and valve replacement) was performed from July to December 1998; comparisons were made with data from the same period in 1997. Patients from both periods were similar in important preoperative and intraoperative variables (age, sex, weight, number of units of RBCs transfused, ejection fraction). The mean total number of complications was statistically significantly decreasedfrom 0.26 complications… Show more

“…Both the size of the total transfused population and the number of patients transfused with more than 3 units, may have been too small to detect a dose effect. 27 Although we found no significant benefit of filtered products on mortality in hospital in the total population, we did see an effect in the subgroup of patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery. We excluded an apparent imbalance in randomisation (which could have caused this difference) by showing that with respect to relevant risk factors the distribution of randomised gastrointestinal patient to non-filtered and filtered products was balanced (table 3).…”

“…In other countries where standard whole blood transfusion has been compared with filtered red blood cells, implementation of filtration seems to be cost neutral or cost saving in some settings. 27 …”

“…Σε ορισµένες τράπεζες αίµατος, η λευκαφαίρεση των ερυθροκυττάρων χρησιµοποιείται σαν ρουτίνα. Χωρίς λευκαφαίρεση, σε τυχαιοποιηµένες δοκιµές, πολυοργανική ανεπάρκεια και θάνατος συνέβη σε 10% των µεταγγιζόµενων στη ΜΕΘ, σε σύγκριση µε ένα 5% των ασθενών που έλαβαν λευκαφαιρεµένα ερυθρά [233,234,235]. Η οξεία πνευµονική βλάβη (ALI) που σχετίζεται µε τη µετάγγιση αποτελεί ίσως την πιο κοινή επιπλοκή της µετάγγισης (1/2000).…”

“…Η οξεία πνευµονική βλάβη (ALI) που σχετίζεται µε τη µετάγγιση αποτελεί ίσως την πιο κοινή επιπλοκή της µετάγγισης (1/2000). Σχεδόν 1 στους 20 ασθενείς κατέληξε από µετάγγιση [233,234,235]. Σε µια µελέτη ο Blumberg και συν.…”
