Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate whether using a dialyzer-based cell salvage system (DBCS) during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) could decrease the need for homologous blood transfusions and improve postoperative recovery.
- Results showed that patients with significant blood loss who used DBCS required less homologous blood transfusion compared to those without any cell salvage, and they experienced fewer complications including renal dysfunction and need for non-invasive ventilation.
- Overall, patients in the DBCS group had shorter hospital stays without any increase in bleeding issues, suggesting that DBCS is a beneficial technique in improving outcomes for OPCABG.
