Introduction. Autologous blood transfusion is a set of procedures done in order to collect a patient?s blood and reinfuse it during or after a surgical intervention. The aim is to meet the patient?s need for blood products without allogeneic transfusion. By observing the hemoglobin and hematocrit values during blood donation in the pre-operative and post-operative period and by counting transfused blood units, the aim of this article was to detect whether there was any difference between the patients receiving autologous blood and those receiving only allogeneic blood. Material and Methods. This prospective study was performed at the General Hospital ?Djordje Joanovic? Zrenjanin from October 24th, 2011 to January 24th, 2013. The study included 60 patients who were divided into the experimental group of 30 patients who had been transfused autologous blood and the control group of 30 patients who had been transfused only allogeneic blood. Results. The average values of hemoglobin and hematocrit in the first and the second donation were 148.9 g/l and 44.2%, and 138.7 g/l and 40.8%, respectively. Oral iron preparation was given to 12 patients for two weeks before the first donation. The level of hemoglobin and hematocrit in both groups of patients had approximately the same values in the pre-operative and post-operative period. In the post-operative period, 2.53 units were transfused per patient in the experimental group and 3.73 units were transfused per patient in the control group. Conclusion. Administration of pre-operatively donated autogenous blood reduces the number of transfused deplasmatised erythrocytes units in comparison to the number of units transfused to the patients receiving only allogeneic blood products. The pre-operative use of oral iron preparations increases hemoglobin values significantly.

Recently the use of allogeneic (donor) blood transfusion is widely accepted in the clinical practice. Despite of good quality and safety of preparation of allogeneic blood, there are some risks related with transfusion: hemolytic, febrile, and allergic reactions, transfusion related acute lung injury, negative immunomodulatory effect, transmission of infections diseases, dissemination and recurrence of cancer. This is why the indications for donor blood transfusion are restricted, so new safer methods are discovered to avoid or to decrease the heed for allogeneic blood transfusion. Nowadays, there is an increased interest in autologous blood transfusion as the most acceptable alternative to allogeneic blood transfusion. Autologous transfusion is the collection and reinfusion of the patient’s own blood (donor and recipient is the same person). Several types of autologous transfusion can be used: preoperative autologous blood donation, acute normovolemic hemodilution, intraoperative blood salvage, postoperative blood salvage. Neverless, autologous transfusion does not protect from all risks, it still remains the safest type of blood transfusion and is important in the strategy of blood conservation.

Background/Aim. Total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is one of the most frequent and the most extensive procedures in orthopedic surgery, accompanied with some serious complications. Perioperative blood loss is one of the most serious losses, so it is vital to recognize and treat such losses properly. Autologous blood transfusion is the only true alternative for the allogeneic blood. The aim of this study was to to examine if autologous blood transfusion reduces usage of allogenic blood in total knee replacement surgery, as well as to examine possible effect of autologous blood transfusion on postoperative complications, recovery and hospital stay of patients after total knee replacement surgery. Methods. During the controlled, prospective, randomised study we compared two groups of patients (n = 112) with total prosthesis implanted in their knee. The group I consisted of the patients who received the transfusion of other people?s (allogeneic) blood (n = 57) and the group II of the patients whose blood was collected postoperatively and then given them [their own (autologous) blood] (n = 55). The transfusion trigger for both groups was hemoglobin level of 85 g/L. Results. In the group of patients whose blood was collected perioperatively only 9 (0.9%) of the patients received transfusion of allogeneic blood, as opposed to the control group in which 98.24% of the patients received the transfusion of allogeneic blood (p ? 0.01). The patients whose blood was collected stayed in hospital for 6.18 days, while the patients of the control group stayed 7.67 days (p < 0.01). Conclusion. Autologous blood transfusion is a very effective method for reducing consumption of allogenic blood and thus, indirectly for reducing all complications related to allogenic blood transfusion. There is also a positive influence on postoperative recovery after total knee replacement surgery due to the reduction of hospital stay, and indirectly on the reduction of hospital costs.

Platelet Counts

The effect of fresh autologous blood transfusion on platelet count and blood requirement in the early postoperative period is examined in a control group and in patients receiving early and late autologous replacement. Withdrawal of blood in the autologous groups appeared to enhance platelet numbers as the autologous groups had higher mean platelet counts than the control group immediately after bypass, in spite of having lower mean haematocrit. After bypass all groups showed a progressive rise in platelet count with time. A substantial part of the rise was explained by haemoconcentration resulting from fluid shifts but there was also an increase in the total circulating platelet numbers. There was no difference in postoperative blood loss between the three groups. Autologous blood replacement hastens the postoperative rise in platelet count but does not alter the postoperative blood loss.

Intraperitoneal Hemorrhage

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of intra- and post-surgical resuscitation targeted at blood loss replacement in patients with moderate, severe and profuse intraperitoneal hemorrhage caused by ectopic pregnancy and ovarian apoplexy. Methods. Heart rate variability and cardiac intervals assessment were used as additional criteria for patient monitoring. 97 female patients with intraperitoneal hemorrhage of 500-1500 ml underwent endoscopic surgery. Autologous blood transfusion, as well as packed blood products and blood substitutes were used for blood loss replacement. Heart rate variability assessment and analysis of cardiac intervals indicate that pathogenesis of adaptation and blood loss compensation in female patients with intraperitoneal hemorrhage exceeding 500 ml depends on blood loss volume and methods of blood loss replacement. Results. Parameters of adaptation and blood loss compensatory mechanisms in patients with moderate and severe blood loss, who underwent intrasurgical autologous blood transfusion, were close to normal values at days 7 and 14 after treatment. Patients with severe and profuse intraperitoneal hemorrhage treated with packed blood products had the longest red blood count and heart rate variability recovery period. Conclusion. Heart rate variability assessment allowed effectively estimating the treatment effect in female patients with intraperitoneal hemorrhage as a complication of a gynecologic disease exceeding 500 ml.
