[A clinical study of the analysis and ranking of the determinant factors for non-blood open heart surgery].
We analyzed the determinant factors as to whether open heart surgery with non-blood transfusion may be indicated or not, according to the formula based on the quantitative theory (class II). Extracorporeal circulation with non-blood priming were indicated on 106 patients using Cell Saver apparatus in our department, they were divided into two groups; blood transfusion group (group I): 38 patients, and non-blood transfusion group (group II): 68 patients. These two groups were compared for study in terms of age, preoperative body weight (BW), the body surface area (BSA), preoperative Hct value (Hct), calculated Hct value (Hct(C)) at the start of extracorporeal circulation (ECC), the aortic cross-clamping time (AXT), the total extracorporeal circulation time (TECCT) and total bleeding amount. The followings are described in the ranking of importance. 1) The amount of blood loss in ICU: less than 400 ml. 2) Hct(C): more than 30%. 3) The amount of blood loss after ECC: less than 130 ml. 4) Hct: more than 40%. 5) BW: more than 55 kg. 6) The total bleeding amount: less than 600 ml. 7) TECCT: less than 90 min. 8) AXT: less than 50 min. In addition, prospective factors which should be considered preoperatively are determined in the following ranking. 1) Hct. 2) Hct(C). 3) BW. From these results, the amount of blood loss in ICU, Hct and Hct(C) were found to be reliable critical in any case as determinant factors for open heart surgery with non-blood transfusion.
