title: [Preoperative autologous blood donation in patients undergoing open heart surgery].
abstract: We examined the possibility to avoid the homologous blood transfusion in patients undergoing open heart surgery by predonation of 200 ml or 400 ml on the day before operation. Between March 1999 and December 2001, 117 patients underwent scheduled open heart surgery. In these patients, preoperatively collected autologous blood on the day before operation amounted 200 ml or 400 ml. We divided these patients into 3 groups according to the necessity of homologous blood, no transfusion (group A, n = 77), intraoperative transfusion (group B 1, n-29) and postoperative transfusion (group B 2, n = 11). In 65.8% of patients the homologous blood transfusion could be avoided. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors were compared in the 3 groups. Especially, old age, female, body weight and preoperative hemoglobin value were significantly different between 3 groups. Postoperative Svo2 and postoperative hemoglobin value were significantly different between 3 groups. The purpose of this study was to evaluate that the predonation of 200 ml or 400 ml on the day before operation may be to avoid the homologous blood transfusion and that preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors in regard to homologous blood transfusion.
