Impact of perioperative allogeneic and autologous blood transfusion on acute wound infection following total knee and total hip arthroplasty.

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2014
BACKGROUND Patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty frequently receive blood transfusions. The relationship between transfusion and the risk of infection following total joint arthroplasty is unclear.

Exagamglogene Autotemcel for Transfusion-Dependent β-Thalassemia.

New England Journal of Medicine
BACKGROUND Exagamglogene autotemcel (exa-cel) is a nonviral cell therapy designed to reactivate fetal hemoglobin synthesis through ex vivo clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 gene editing of the erythroid-specific ...

Autologous re-transfusion drain compared with no drain in total knee arthroplasty: a randomised controlled trial.

Blood transfusion = Trasfusione del sangue, 2014
BACKGROUND Post-operative anaemia following total knee arthroplasty is reported to impede functional mobility in the early period following surgery, whereas allogeneic blood transfusions, used to correct low post-operative haemoglobin levels, have ...

Autologous blood transfusions [PDF]

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2001
Due to enormous risks of transfusion-transmitted diseases in allogenic blood transfusions, including dreaded AIDS, there has been constant endeavour to look for a safer alternative. Autologous transfusion which is transfusion of blood/component donated by intended recipient, has proved to be a safe and viable alternative. Initially tried in 1874 in the

Autologous transfusion of drain contents in elective primary knee arthroplasty: its value and relevance.

Blood transfusion = Trasfusione del sangue, 2011
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty is associated with significant post-operative blood loss often necessitating blood transfusions. Blood transfusions may be associated with transfusion reactions and may transmit human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C

Autologous Transfusion Endorsed

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1985
To the Editor.— The recent SPECIAL COMMUNICATION from the Hospital Transfusion Committee 1 overlooks what appears to be a major safety factor in the preoperative preparation of patients for elective surgical procedures. As a practicing rheumatologist, it is my policy, whenever feasible, to perform preoperative phlebotomy of two or three units prior to

Screening for Autologous Blood Transfusions

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009
The ratio between the amount of hemoglobin in the mature erythrocyte population and the reticulocytes (RBCHb:RetHb ratio) has previously been suggested as a marker to screen for EPO-abuse. We speculated that the reinfusion of blood would lead to a marked increase in this ratio, making it a valuable parameter in the screening for autologous blood doping.

Blood management and transfusion strategies in 600 patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty: an analysis of pre-operative autologous blood donation.

Blood transfusion = Trasfusione del sangue, 2013
BACKGROUND Blood loss during total joint arthroplasty strongly influences the time to recover after surgery and the quality of the recovery. Blood conservation strategies such as pre-operative autologous blood donation and post-operative cell salvage are

Studies on the regeneration of the CFU-C population in blood and bone marrow of lethally irradiated dogs after autologous transfusion of cryopreserved mononuclear blood cells.

Scandinavian Journal of Haematology, 2009
In a group of 8 lethally irradiated (1200 R) dogs, that were transfused autologously with cryopreserved mononuclear cells (MNC) derived from the peripheral blood by leucapheresis the concentration of colony-forming units in agar (CFU-C) in bone marrow ...

Chest, 1975
Blood utilization in 400 consecutive adult patients undergoing a wide variety of cardiovascular operations requiring cardiopulmonary bypass was documented following institution of: 1) complete oxygenator hemodilution; 2) intraoperative phlebotomy and ...
