Applications of Pre-stored Autologous Blood Transfusion in Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of pre-stored autologous blood transfusion in coronary artery bypass grafting.Methods Blood was collected from the patients who were in accordance with the criteria of autologous blood transfusion from 1January to 30 June 2012.One hundred cases without autologous blood collection were set up as control.Hematology parameters were statistically analyzed with SPSS13.0software in both groups of the patients of pre-and post-operation and before discharge.Results In the group of pre-stored autologous blood transfusion,the parameters of hemoglubin(HB),hematocrit(HCT),and red blood cells(RBCs)had a significant difference before blood collection compared with those of pre-operation,the first day of post-operation,and just before discharge(P0.05).No statistically significant difference of HB,HCT,and RBCs was noted in pre-and post-operation,and before discharge between the two groups of autologous and homologous blood transfusion(P0.05).Conclusions Pre-stored autologous blood transfusion may be used in the patients with right elective coronary artery bypass grafting surgery,from which the patients may benefit and be protected from adverse transfusion reaction and infection with infectious diseases.
