“… 5 Venous air embolism (VAE) is a relatively rare but potentially fatal event compared with other complications of autotransfusion such as blood loss if not properly connected, blood contamination resulting in infection, hemolysis due to suction or degradation, and thrombocytopenia. 6 It may occur in a variety of procedures and surgeries but is most often associated with iatrogenic complications of central line catheter insertion. 7 There were warnings regarding autotransfusion usage.…”

“…9 Known as tethered cord syndrome in human medicine, spinal anomalies could cause adhesions with adjacent tissues, which in the case of sudden or repetitive flexion or extension of the spine could result in stretching of the spinal cord. 5,17 Likewise, a recent case report described a tailless Holstein calf with caudal spinal dysraphism in which a tethered spinal cord in the lumbosacral region caused ataxia and paresis with analgesia of the hindlimbs. 14 In our cases, the presence of adhesion could have been overlooked due to the presence of ischemic myelomalacia or obscured by bandsaw artifacts.…”

Ischemic myelomalacia secondary to fibrocartilaginous emboli (FCE) is an idiopathic disease in humans and animals. On the other hand, congenital spinal cord malformations result from neural tube defects in fetal development (ie, spinal dysraphism), with structural anomalies referred to collectively as myelodysplasia. Spinal dysraphisms are frequently accompanied by skin and vertebral abnormalities because of the embryogenic relationship. In this observational case study, we report the pathologic findings of 13, 18- to 24-weeks-old pigs from a large conventional operation that presented with acute paraparesis. Ischemic myelomalacia secondary to FCE was observed in 5 of 13 examined pigs. Congenital spinal cord malformations located between the caudal thoracic and sacral spinal cord were identified in 7 pigs, with structural abnormalities that ranged from diplomyelia/split cord malformation to segmental spinal dysgenesis (myelodysplasia) to caudal agenesis. Concurrent myelomalacia and congenital spinal cord malformations in the same or different sites were noted in 2 pigs. No spinal lesion was observed in 3 pigs. Although gross vertebral abnormalities were not observed herein, intervertebral instability due to minor defects in the articular facets, as well as other unidentified factors, is suspected to contribute high incidence of FCE. It is likely that these congenital malformations were previously underdiagnosed or are possibly new conditions associated with continuous inbreeding and genetic improvement in the modern swine industry.

“…Autotransfusion can not only avoid the side effect of allogeneic transfusion and eliminate the risk of disease transmission, but also stimulate the hematopoietic function of bone marrow, so that the hematopoietic speed of patients after surgery is accelerated [12,13]. Autotransfusion not only alleviates the shortage of blood source, but also saves the medical expenses of patients, which is a safe and effective method [14]. Hemodilution transfusion can solve the problem of blood supply for patients with rare blood type [15].…”

BackgroundTo explore the clinical effect of predeposit, salvage and hemodilution autotransfusion on patients with femoral shaft fractdure (FSF) surgery.MethodsSelected FSF patients were randomly divided into 3 groups: intraoperative blood salvage autotransfusion group, preoperative hemodilution autohemotransfusion group and predeposit autotransfusion. After the operation for 5 days, body temperature, heart rate, blood platelet (PLT) and hemoglobin (Hb) of patients were determined; the concentrations of EPO and G-MSF in the 3 groups were calculated by ELISA assay; the content of CD14 + monocytes were calculated by FCM assay. The growth time and condition of the patient’s callus were determined at the 30th, 45th and 60th days after operation. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between EP0, G-MSF, CD14 + mononuclear content, callus growth and autotransfusion methods.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences in body temperature and heart rate between the 3 groups (P > 0.05). PLT and Hb in Predeposit group were markedly increased compared to that in Salvage group and Hemodilution group. The concentrations of EPO and G-MSF in Predeposit group were markedly increased compared to that in Salvage group and Hemodilution group. The content of CD14 + monocytes in Predeposit group was significantly higher compared to that in Salvage group and Hemodilution group. Predeposit autotransfusion promotes callus growth more quickly. The concentration of EP0 and G-MSF were positively correlated with callus growth in the three groups, and the content of CD14 + monocytes was not correlated in any of the three groups.ConclusionPredeposit autotransfusion promoted the recovery of FSF patients after operation more quickly compared to salvage autotransfusion and hemodilution autotransfusion.# These authors contributed equally to this work.
