Purpose: This study aim is to evaluate the application of stored autologous blood transfusion in liver cancer surgery and explore its impact on postoperative changes in inflammatory factors and liver function recovery.

Method: The study used a control group (CG) design and included 150 patients who underwent liver cancer surgery. While the observation group (OG) got autologous blood that had been preserved, the CG had a standard allogeneic blood transfusion.

Decompensated cirrhotic patients experience severely increased intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation. Thus, autologous blood salvaged during deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) may be contaminated with enteric bacteria. We aimed to evaluate bacterial contamination of autologous blood salvaged during DDLT and its association with post-transplant bacteremia.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
  • - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
  • - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine if preoperative autologous blood donation helps lower the risk of post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in patients with perihilar malignancy undergoing major liver surgery.
  • Conducted as a randomized clinical trial, 138 patients were assigned to either receive autologous blood transfusions or not during their surgeries, with primary focus on post-operative PHLF rates.
  • Results showed no significant differences in PHLF incidence or other surgery-related outcomes between the two groups, indicating that autologous blood storage did not effectively reduce PHLF risk.

Background And Aims: The practice of intraoperative blood salvage and autotransfusion (IBSA) during deceased donor liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can potentially reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusion. However, implementing IBSA remains debatable due to concerns about its possible detrimental effects on oncologic recurrence.

Methods: This study retrospectively enrolled nationwide recipients of deceased donor liver transplantation for HCC between 2015 and 2020.
