The possibility of conducting intraoperative reinfusion of blood in coloproctology is appraised on the basis of complex microbiological, cytological, and biochemical study of blood of patients who underwent operation for various diseases of the large intestine. It was found that blood escaping into the abdominal cavity during operations on the large intestine is hemolized to a great measure and contains many bacteria, and therefore such blood cannot be used for transfusion. At the same time, if blood is collected directly from the pulsating vessel its contamination, marked distortions of its formed elements, and hemolysis above admissible values can be avoided. The dependence on the time of blood collection, whether before or after the intestine is opened, has not been established.

Background: Metastatic spine tumor surgery (MSTS) is often complex and extensive leading to significant blood loss. Allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) is the mainstay of blood replenishment but with immune-mediated postoperative complications. Alternative blood management techniques (salvaged blood transfusion [SBT]) allow us to overcome such complications.

Background: Pelvic fractures often result in traumatic and intraoperative blood loss. Cell salvage (CS) is a tool where autologous blood lost during surgery is collected and recycled with anticoagulation, centrifugation to separate red blood cells, and washing to be reinfused back to the patient. The purpose of this study was to investigate our experience with CS in pelvic and acetabular surgery and its relationship to perioperative transfusion requirements.

Article Synopsis
  • Autologous blood obtained during surgical hardware reinfusion is often contaminated with bacteria, predominantly from skin microflora, in up to 90% of cases, posing a risk for infection.
  • Adding cefuroxime to the blood collection process was found to eliminate bacterial growth in 100% of instances when administered initially.
  • Despite various decontamination methods, including washing and leukocyte filtration, some bacterial contamination remained, though the combination of these techniques with cefuroxime significantly reduced the risk of bacterial presence in processed blood samples.

Intraoperative blood loss management is a critical concern in orthopaedic surgeries, particularly in trauma and complex elective procedures. Traditionally, allogeneic blood transfusions have been used to manage significant blood loss, but they carry risks such as transfusion reactions, infections, and increased healthcare costs. Cell salvage, or autotransfusion, offers a safer alternative by collecting, processing, and reinfusing the patient's own blood during surgery.

Blood management is a critical aspect of patient care during surgical procedures. In the United Kingdom, there is a growing recognition of the need to integrate intraoperative cell salvage into blood management protocols, especially for invasive surgeries where significant blood loss is anticipated. While donated blood (allogeneic blood) is traditionally used in such cases, it carries risks and potential complications.
