Blood Transfusion in Cardiac Surgery A Silent Epidemic Revisited James D. Rawn, Circulation 2007;116:2523 Editorial

  9. Murphy GJ et al.: ‘Increased Mortality, Postoperative Morbidity, and Cost After Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Patients Having Cardiac Surgery.’ Circulation 2007;116:2544 • Retrospective cohort study • 8,516 patients with Cardiac Surgery in 1996 – 2003 • Data from three well maintained data sources • 1. PATS*, linked to 2. hematology, 3. blood bank databases • Infection and ischemic outcome, LOS, death • Impact of LK-Depletion (since 1999) • Propensity score, Multivariate regression • *Patient Analysis and Tracking System, London, UK (started 1996)

  10. Murphy GJ et al.: Circulation 2007;116:2544 Summary of results • Red Cell Transfusion increased dose dependently • Mortality, Morbidity, LOS, Cost • No impact of Nadir Hct or LK-Depletion

  13. Cardiac surgery patients – retrospective cohort study. Murphy GJ et al.: Circulation 2007;116:2544

  14. Limitations • Retrospective • Particular indications unknown Strength • Transfusion Data from independent source • Groups: Well balanced prognostic factors • Propensity analysis • Nadir Hct without effect in both groups • RBC effect similar in high- and low risk

  15. Glance LG et al.: ‘Association between Intraoperative Blood Transfusion and Mortality and Morbidity in patients Undergoing NoncardiacSurgery.’ Anesthesiology 2011;114:283 • Retrospective – multicenter • 11,000 patients: General, Vascular, Orthopedic • NSQIP* Database • Anemic patients (Hct < 30%) - max. 2 U RBC • Thus blood loss not relevant • Multivariate analysis (MVA) *American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program

  16. Surgical patients with preoperative anemia Glance LG et al.: Anesthesiology 2011;114:283 P < 0.001 P < 0.05 P < 0.005 P < 0.01

  17. Limitations • Transfused patients worse • MVA is no 100% ‘cure’ • Particular indications unknown Strength • Quality of data base, (p value) • Number of patients • Max. 2 U of PRC transfused

  18. Marik PE et al.: ‘Efficacy of red cell transfusion in the critically ill: A systematic review of the literature’ Crit Care Med 2008;36:2667 • 571 observational studies screened • 45 selected (30,915 patients total) • MVA mandatory • Endpoints: Mortality and severe morbidity • Benefit of RC-transfusion outweighs risk?

  19. PRC transfusion and outcome on ICU 45 Studies, 687 patients each (mean) Marik PE. Crit Care Med 2008;36:2667

  20. 1st Conclusion Red Cell Transfusion deteriorates patients outcome

  21. II. Is there any scientific proof of the benefit of allogeneic Red Cells?

  22. Lessons learned from Identical Outcome ► Surgery (All) ► Transplantation ► Intensive Care ► Trauma ► Oncology von Bormann B: Anaesthesist 2007;56:380

  23. Severely ill.

  24. . ‘A multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial of Transfusion requirements in critical care‘ Hébert PC et al. New Engl J Med 1999;340:409 • Enrolled: 838 patients out of 6,451 (25 facilities) • Normovolemic; initial cHb ≤ 9 g/dl • Randomization to alternative transfusion triggers • cHb either ≤ 7.0 or ≤10.0 g/dl • Extensive Statistics

  29. 2nd Conclusion Red Cell Transfusion has no proven benefit for the recipient incl. high-risk patients

  30. III. AutologousAlternatives • Preoperative Autologous Deposit (PAD) • Intraoperative Autotransfusion (IAT) PAD IAT CATS™ (Fresenius)

  31. Preoperative autologous Deposit (PAD) in surgery.

  32. Intraoperative autotransfusion (IAT) in surgery.

  33. 3rd Conclusion Autologous Transfusion is an appropriate alternative. Cooperation between departments* involved is mandatory! *Transfusion Medicine, Surgery, Anesthesiology.

  34. Finally: Legal aspects. Current situation in Europe Transfusion mistreatment – who’s fault? Or: who goes to jail? The one who does it, probably You!

  35. SURVEY - again • CASE I. • 40 years old male, car accident. • Several fractures, hematothorax. • Treatment in sufficient progress (OR). • No active bleeding. No coagulopathy. • No relevant medical history. At what Hemoglobin concentration (cHb) do you transfuse red cells? A = ≤ 7.0 B = ≤ 8.0 C = ≤ 9.0 D = ≤ 10.0 g/dl

  36. CASE II. • 80 years old female. • Hemihepatectomy for cancer treatment. • No active bleeding. No coagulopathy. • Adequate mental conditions. No cardiac history. At what Hemoglobin concentration (cHb) do you transfuse red cells? A = ≤ 7.0 B = ≤ 8.0 C = ≤ 9.0 D = ≤ 10.0 g/dl
