Intraoperative Blood Salvage in Penetrating Abdominal Trauma: a Randomised, Controlled Trial

Abstract: In this randomised, controlled trial for patients with penetrating abdominal injuries, IBS led to a significant reduction in allogeneic blood usage with no discernable effect on rates of postoperative infection or mortality.

“…In a series of 152 penetrating abdominal injuries there was no difference in wound infection rates between patients receiving allogeneic or cell saved blood, and no correlation between organisms grown from the cell saved blood and those causing postoperative pneumonias, bacteraemias or urinary tract infections [24]. This has been confirmed in a recent prospective, randomised controlled trial of penetrating abdominal injuries in which the use of cell salvage at laparotomy led to a significant reduction in allogeneic blood usage with no discernable effect on rates of postoperative infection or mortality [25]. Most surgeons and anaesthetists still avoid salvage from grossly contaminated fields, but procedures involving bowel resection now commonly use cell salvage for at least part of the procedure.…”

“…It has been demonstrated that bacteria are not completely removed by centrifugation and washing (5-21% subsequently present) (Boudraux et al 1983, Faugth et al 1998. As described in the trauma study (Bowley et al 2006), in emergency cases, autotransfusion can be life-saving without causing harm to the patient. A few other case-reports confirm that prophylactic intravenous antibiotic therapy or addition of antibiotics to the anticoagulant solution could prevent bacteraemia or sepsis (Faught et al 1998, Wollinsky et al 1997).…”

“…In this field, just one randomised study has been published, subjects experiencing abdominal trauma in combination with bowel perforations (n = 44; Bowley et al 2006). Bowel perforation is generally considered a contraindication to autotransfusion.…”

“…Infusion devices, gravity or electronic, may be used for the administration of blood and blood components in situation where rapid infusion seems necessarily (Grade 2C) [56,57]. However, a close observation is needed to avoid risk of hemolysis that can be endured by rapid infusion or malfunction of such devices.…”
