The efficacy of intraoperative autologous transfusion in major shoulder surgery.

摘要: Perioperative blood loss associated with 36 cases of major shoulder surgery in which an intraoperative autologous transfusion device was used compared a control group patients to determine the effectiveness (IAT). Total this retrospective review evaluated by assessing volume transfused banked and change hematocrit. All surgical were performed same surgeon. The procedures considered study humeral head total replacement. Use autotransfusion fewer units similar or smaller drops While can involve substantial loss, authors recommend for revision failed surgery, arthrodesis, joint replacement, repairs massive cuff tears when mobilization tendon transfers are anticipated. risk disease transmission through blood, especially acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) hepatitis viruses, has increased need heightened awareness use alternative sources such as IAT.
