Ultrafiltration reduces blood transfusions following cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis

Abstract: Use of ultrafiltration is associated with a significant reduction in postoperative blood transfusions as well as reduced bleeding in adults undergoing cardiac surgery. The efficacy and cost-effectiveness of ultrafiltration as a blood conservations strategy should be evaluated in a large, randomized, double-blinded study.

“…61,62 Evidence from a recent meta-analysis also supports the idea that the need for blood transfusions is significantly reduced by ultrafiltration during cardiac surgery. 63 In addition, evidence from the latter study 62 also demonstrated that the platelet count after bypass was not significantly different from that in the non-haemofiltration group, an observation that is also in agreement with our findings.…”

“…Šios aplinkybės skatina siaurinti ir griežtinti indikacijas donorinio kraujo perpylimui, įdiegti naujus metodus, padedančius išvengti ar bent minimalizuoti alogeninio kraujo transfuzijų poreikį (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17).…”

“…However, it is unclear whether this benefit is due to the volume of fluid removed from the circulating bypass blood vs the modified ultrafiltration [60][61][62][63] . There are conflicting results about the different ultrafiltration techniques, because in neonatal surgery, removal of fluid from a miniaturized circuit during cardiopulmonary bypass, corresponding to conventional ultrafiltration, is difficult and inconsistent when fluid replacement is needed to maintain adequate reservoir level [64] .…”
