[Clinical aspects of autologous blood donation in cardiosurgery].

The paper presents auto donation protocols and a procedure for autodonor plasmapheresis used in cardiosurgical patients, complications, and their preventive measures on the basis of an analysis of 308 autodonor plasmapheresis procedures performed at the Russian Surgery Research Center, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, in 2007. The preoperative autoblood preservation safety concept envisaging the safety of autodonors during blood donation, the correct storage and issue of autocomponents, and the prevention of adverse reactions to blood exfusion in patients was introduced. The rate of the reactions was 6.4% of the total number of auto donations in cardiosurgical high-risk patients, moderate reaction being most common. The findings indicated that exfusion of 450 ml of blood without previous infusion of plasma substitutes was a cause of collaptoid reactions in 14 cases of the collapse-complicated procedures of autodonor plasmapheresis in cardiosurgical patients (in 70% of the total number of complications). No association was found between of the frequency and severity of complications and the nosological entity, age, and body mass index; however, a further retrospective analysis of 1500 fresh frozen autoblood preservation procedures that have recently made at the Russian Surgery Research Center, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, is required to have statistically significant data.
