INTRAOPERATIVE AUTOLOGOUS BLOOD TRANSFUSİON İN SPINAL SURGERY
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1992, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
We evaluated the effectiveness of intraoperative autologous blood in reduction of the need for transfusion of ho-mologous blood in majör spinal surgery in two patient groups. İn Group A (30 patients) autologous blood and in Group B (30 patients) homologous blood were used. Ali patients who undement majör spinal surgery in two groups were compared; the homologous blood requirement was reduced from mean 2.77 units (Group B) to mean 0.82 units (Group A). This difference was statistically significant (p<0.01). Differences in both preoperative andpostoper-ative hematocrit values were statistically insignificant in two groups. İt seems benefİciai to use autologous blood in the operations vvhere the estimated blood loss is high, especially in spinal surgery.
