Perioperative Blood Management in Posterior Instrumented Fusion for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Original Study and Short Review of the Literature

Abstract: Background: The potential hazards of allogeneic blood transfusion are well established in literature. Few things are known, however, about the results of combining different blood saving techniques and their results in avoiding allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) in scoliosis surgery. Aim: To report specific results about utilization of preoperative autologous blood donation (PABD) and intraoperative blood-saver (BLDS) in conjunction, aiming to minimize the need for ABT. Materials and methods: Between 1989 and … Show more

“…ABT could decrease the potential complications from allogenic blood transfusion, namely transfusion reactions, viral/prion disease transmission, coagulopathy, and the metabolic and immunological consequences of transfusing allogeneic blood [20]. Although preoperative autologous blood donation and intraoperative blood-saver had been shown to decrease the rate of allogenic blood transfusion [21], the authors still believe that minimizing intraoperative blood loss is important during operation. Precautions include hypotensive anesthesia, subperiosteal dissection, meticulous soft tissue haemostasis at all stages, and prevention of bone bleeding with bone wax after facetectomies are performed.…”
