risk of adverse outcomes in low- risk patients, while it was associ­ated with a reduced risk in high- risk patients. e problem with transfusion arises from the fact that its indications can be vague and uncertain while the associated risks are substantial, giving it a relatively narrow therapeutic margin. With no reliable method to assess tissue oxygen delivery and consumption clinically available, identifying the patients in whom transfusions are appropriate can be a challenging task.
e list of complications and negative outcomes associated with transfusion (and the studies reporting on them) grow steadily. Not surprisingly, these studies have triggered eorts to limit transfusions across patient populations. Several randomized controlled trials
a liberal transfusion arm get transfused and many patients in re­strictive transfusion arms are eventually transfused regardless. Additionally, some trials fail to account for all transfusion episodes and only focus on transfusions aer randomization and within the period specied by the trial- specied transfusion protocols. Lastly, trials are not immune from bias and there is oen a wide gap be­tween the clean- cut groups of patients who have sieved through the eligibility criteria of trials and patients managed in real- world clin­ical setting., Awaiting more denitive results from new studies focusing on cardiovascular procedures, the transfusion strategies outlined in current guidelines should be followed in these patients
(Table 26.1).–  showed that restrictive transfusion strategies are feasible and as­sociated with reduced transfusion utilization while resulting in comparable or improved patient outcomes compared with liberal transfusion strategies. However, patients with cardiovascular comorbidities and those undergoing cardiovascular surgery may be more susceptible to negative eects of anaemia and restricting trans­fusion in these patients oen generates scrutiny. In a recent clinical trial, 2007 patients with haemoglobin cpncentrations less than 9 g/ dL following cardiac surgery were randomized to either a liberal trans­fusion strategy (based on postoperative haemoglobin threshold of <9 g/ dL) or a restrictive transfusion strategy (based on haemoglobin threshold of <7.5 g/ dL). ere was reduced resource utilization and decreased transfusion rate (almost halved) in the patients random­ized to the restrictive transfusion strategy, while both study arms had comparable primary outcomes (composite of any serious infec­tious or ischaemic events within 3months aer admission). ere was no dierence in infectious events, ischaemic events, duration of hospital stay, or pulmonary complications, while patients random­ized to restrictive transfusion had increased all- cause mortality rates within 90days of operation (4.2% vs 2.6%, hazard ratio 1.64, 95% condence interval (CI) 1.0– 2.67). e authors concluded that while overall comparable outcomes in the face of reduced resource util­ization should make a strong case for wider use of restrictive trans­fusion strategies in patients undergoing cardiovascular operations, more studies (and meta- analyses of data from existing studies with a focus on actual transfusion status) are needed to assess the im­pact of restrictive versus liberal transfusions in these cardiovascular patients. In a recent meta- analysis looking at pooled data from 8 trials, including a subset of 3323 patients undergoing cardiovascular operations, there was a non- signicant trend towards increased risk of ischaemic complications and early mortality in patients sub­jected to restrictive transfusion strategies (relative risk 1.09, 95% CI
0.97– 1.22; and 1.39, 95% CI 0.95– 2.04, respectively). In contrast, no similar trend suggestive of increased risks appeared in other patient populations not having cardiovascular operations.,
While it is reasonable to take a more conservative approach among patients undergoing cardiovascular operations, the evi­dence on harmful eects of restrictive transfusion strategies in these patients is far from conclusive. Awealth of data from ob­servational studies that support the link between transfusions and poor outcomes in patients having cardiovascular procedures is contrasted by a handful of trials that suggest increased risk of
Patient blood management incardiacsurgery
Patient blood management (PBM) oers a dierent approach to transfusion. Rather than debating which haemoglobin threshold to use to make a transfusion decision, PBM focuses on the treatment options and modalities that can be used to reduce and eliminate the need for transfusion altogether, and more importantly achieve better clinical outcomes for the patient. is patient- centred approach (vs the traditional product- centred approach of transfusion medicine) is the cornerstone of PBM.
PBM is dened as ‘the timely application of evidence- based med­ical and surgical concepts designed to maintain hemoglobin con­centration, optimize haemostasis and minimize blood loss in an eort to improve patient outcome’. To achieve its goal, PBM uses the following strategies (Fig. 26.1):*
• Management of anaemia throughout the course of care.
• Optimization of coagulation and haemostasis.
• Utilization of interdisciplinary blood conservation and autotrans-
fusion modalities.
• Patient- centred decision– making.
Here we review these strategies as they pertain to surgical patients in general, and those undergoing cardiac operations in particular.
Management ofanaemia
Timely diagnosis and management of anaemia is a key strategy in PBM. Attention should be paid to detecting and treating an­aemia prior to the operation as well as preventing, detecting, and managing anaemia following the surgery and during the hospital stay. Anaemia in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is oen multifactorial with several aetiologies including iron deciency, inammation (anaemia of inammation or anaemia of chronic disease), and blood loss oen playing a role. As indicated earlier, anaemia occurs commonly in patients having cardiac operations, and persists or worsens in many patients during the course of hos­pitalization and beyond. Patients scheduled for elective cardiovas­cular procedures should be screened for anaemia ahead of time. Ascreening timeline of 4 weeks ahead of a scheduled procedure allows enough time for diagnostic work- ups and determination of underlying causes(s) of anaemia. is diagnostic approach

Proper treatment of anaemia in the weeks prior to a scheduled surgery allows the patient’s body to produce the equivalent of one or more units of blood— the patient’s own fresh whole blood with all the compo­nents and factors— which can eectively eliminate the need for allogeneic blood transfusion and the associated risks. Fig. 26.2 de­picts an algorithm for screening and management of anaemia in surgical patients. is approach is in contrast with the ‘routine’ practice of obtaining a complete blood count during preadmission testing just days ahead of the scheduled procedure, and taking anaemic patients into the operating room, relying on allogeneic

Given the negative consequences of anaemia and transfu­sion, unmanaged anaemia should be considered a contraindica­tion for elective operations. However, coronary bypass surgery is oen urgently or even emergently scheduled, forcing clinical teams to focus on perioperative strategies for blood conservation and anaemia management.
Treatment of anaemia should be guided by the aetiologies present. e main therapeutic choices include intravenous (IV) iron and erythropoiesis- stimulating agents (ESAs).

treatment with iron has been shown to improve outcomes. In a randomized trial in 60 non- anaemic patients undergoing cardiac procedures, a single dose of IV iron given prior to the operation was associated with signicantly higher haemoglobin levels 4 weeks following the operation and a similar safety prole compared with placebo. While data specic to cardiac surgery patients is more limited, a meta- analysis of 72 randomized trials in over 10,000 pa­tients found that IV iron was associated with a mean haemoglobin increase of 0.65 g/ dL and reduced transfusion (relative risk of 0.74, 95% CI 0.62– 0.88) compared with no iron or oral iron. e ecacy of treatment is even higher when IV iron is used in combination with ESAs. In a more recent meta- analysis of 64 trials (including ve in patients with heart failure), both oral and IV iron were asso­ciated with reduced transfusions and increased haemoglobin levels compared with placebo, while IV iron was associated with greater increases in haemoglobin. e results were similar in patients with or without heart failure. Some studies suggest an increased risk of infection following use of IV iron, while others do not.
In a study of 600 cardiac surgical patients with preoperative haemoglobin concentrations of 14.5 g/ dL or less, patients random­ized to a single dose of an ESA had signicantly lower transfusion rates (relative risk 0.436) compared with controls, but the advan­tage was only present in the subgroup of patients with a preoperative haemoglobin concentration of less than 13 g/ dL. Rates of adverse events and all- cause mortality at 45days were similar between the study arms. Some evidence suggests that the use of ESAs in the perioperative period in patients undergoing cardiac procedures might confer some protective eects against organ injury (such as acute kidney injury associated with cardiac procedures), but more studies are needed to better evaluate this potential benet. While several studies across various surgical populations show ecacy of preoperative use of ESAs to increase haemoglobin levels and reduce transfusion, reports of increased risk of thrombotic events and mortality temper enthusiasm for widespread use of ESAs in these patients. Current evidence suggests that the risk of adverse events with the use of ESAs is lower in surgical patients. Reasons for this
26 Patient blood management strategies incardiacsurgery 221
https://t.me/medicina_free
reduced thrombotic risk in surgical patients is uncertain but may be related to concomitant use of anticoagulants, double antiplatelet therapy, and use of ESAs for a shorter duration of time (compared with other chronically anaemic populations who receive ESAs for longer periods of time). Following treatment with ESAs and as haematopoiesis increases, available iron stores might not be able to keep up with the increased demand, resulting in functional iron de­ciency. As indicated previously, studies suggest that combined use of IV iron and ESAs reduces the required dose of ESAs needed for repletion of haemoglobin levels.
An important aspect of the management of anaemia is the pre­vention of HAA. In one study of over a hundred thousand patients who were not anaemic at admission, three- quarters developed HAA (30% severe anaemia), and HAA (even mild) was associated with in­creased length of stay and mortality. ere is increased awareness and recognition of the signicant role of diagnostic blood draws in the development of HAA. e impact of such a seemingly mundane and routine practice on blood loss can be quite shocking:a mildly anaemic patient with baseline haemoglobin of 11 g/ dL can become severely anaemic with a haemoglobin of 7 g/ dL within 1– 2 weeks if subjected to just 43 mL of daily diagnostic blood draws. e remedy for this iatrogenic blood loss is simple:standing orders and orders for tests that are not likely to aect the course of care should be avoided and any necessary tests must be carried out with the minimum amount of blood needed to complete the test. ese are foundational measures required in any cardiac surgical blood con­servation programme.
Optimization ofhaemostasis
Management of risk of bleeding and prompt arrest of any sources of bleeding during the perioperative period is another key strategy in PBM that underscores the emphasis of PBM on preventive measures to avoid anaemia and/ or its exacerbation. It has been shown that bleeding in cardiac surgery patients (even mild bleeding in low- risk patients) is independently associated with increased risk of various adverse events.
Assessment of risk of bleeding involves history taking, physical examination, review of medications, and quantitative and qualita­tive coagulation tests. Many patients who are candidates for cardiac operations are on various anticoagulants and antiplatelet medica­tions. Whenever possible, their medications should be reviewed and revised in collaboration with the prescribing physicians to reduce the risk of medication- induced coagulopathy and/ or platelet- related bleeding disorders in the perioperative period.
Various pharmaceutical agents are available to optimize haemo­stasis and reduce blood loss. One widely available and much used group includes the antibrinolytic agents that work by inhibiting the brinolytic pathway to protect brin clots from unintended or untimely lysis. is group of medication was once led by aprotinin. Aprotinin was shown to be highly eective in reducing surgical blood loss and transfusions in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, but there was a question of increased risk of mortality in certain sub­groups. is medication was voluntarily withdrawn from the market in the United States by the manufacturer (Bayer Pharmaceuticals), but is still available and used in other countries, and its application in PBM remains limited.,
With aprotinin largely out of picture, lysine analogues such as tranexamic acid (TXA) (globally) and epsilon aminocaproic
acid (EACA) (mainly in the United States) have become the main antibrinolytic agents used in cardiac procedures. TXA reduces sur­gical bleeding and transfusion rates in patients having cardiac op­erations, and some studies suggest additional benets in reducing mortality rates. EACA is also highly eective in reducing blood loss and transfusion rates while having a substantially lower cost than TXA. While some studies are suggestive that TXA might be margin­ally more eective than EACA, use of both medications is supported to reduce blood loss and transfusion in cardiac surgeries.
In a recent two- by- two factorial trial on 4631 patients under­going coronary artery surgery, patients were randomized to receive aspirin versus placebo and TXA versus placebo. Compared with placebo, patients who were randomized to TXA had lower risk of bleeding and fewer transfusions, while the risk of thrombotic com­plications and mortality remained comparable. e only remarkable downside of use of TXA was increased risk of seizures. Arecent meta- analysis of 16 published reports of over 45,000 adult patients undergoing cardiac operations concluded that use of TXA in these patients is associated with an over fourfold increased risk of seiz­ures. While further studies are needed to better dene the risk– benet proles of these medications, it should be remembered that the alternative— allogeneic blood transfusion— is not free of risk either, and clinicians should carefully weigh the risks of various op­tions when deciding on treatments.
One strategy to reduce the complications of these agents is to use them topically rather than systemically, and studies suggest that top­ical use of TXA applied locally at the end of the operation reduces surgical blood loss and cuts the transfusion rate in half. Several other topical haemostatic agents including brin sealants are avail­able and are eective in reducing blood loss and transfusions.
roughout the course of cardiac procedures, particularly in the immediate perioperative period, awareness of unchecked blood loss and aggressive control of any sources of bleeding are mandatory. If bleeding is suspected, returning the patient to the operating room for surgical re- exploration and control of bleeding should be con­sidered. Other strategies employ point- of- care coagulation testing and functional coagulation assessments. Goal- directed use of blood components and available factors should be considered to address specic deciencies.
Autotransfusiontechniques
Increased awareness of the risks of allogeneic blood transfusions fu­elled eorts to develop various autologous transfusion techniques. Some of the earlier approaches required the patients to donate their blood during the weeks leading up to the elective surgery. e do­nated blood was to be stored and used in the perioperative period whenever a transfusion was needed. is technique, known as pre­operative autologous donation, requires signicant logistic burden and renders patients anaemic near the time of operation. For these reasons, use of autologous predonation is no longer used to any great extent in clinical practice.
Another autologous transfusion technique is acute normovolaemic haemodilution. e theory behind this is that one can eectively reduce the actual amount of blood loss by intentionally diluting the blood circulating in the patient’s body. is is achieved by drawing a precalculated amount of blood from the patient just be­fore the operation and replacing it with IV uids to keep the patient normovolaemic (hence the name of the technique). e drawn blood
SECTION 5 Management of cardiopulmonary bypass222
https://t.me/medicina_free
is kept at the bedside during the operation and used whenever a trans­fusion is needed, while any blood that the patient loses during the pro­cedure is already diluted by the IV uid given to replace the volume of drawn blood. While the theoretical basis for acute normovolaemic haemodilution is sound, it is clear that this technique can only be helpful in cases where signicant blood loss is expected. Otherwise, the drawn blood is at risk of being wasted while the patient is rendered haemodiluted with no benet.
Unlike the autotransfusion strategies discussed so far that es­sentially make bets against future blood losses, blood cell recovery (cell salvage) systems work by retrieving, washing, and ltering the blood that is already shed in the surgical eld and is otherwise lost. e primary concern with cell salvage is the quality of the salvaged blood and the possibility of introducing unwanted agents— debris, topical pharmaceuticals, bacteria, or malignant cells— into the cir­culation. Induction of a systemic inammatory response can occur with a large volume of cell salvage. Nonetheless, the use of cell sal­vage signicantly reduces allogeneic blood transfusion rates without negatively aecting patient outcomes in various surgical patient populations including patients undergoing cardiac operations with or without cardiopulmonary bypass pump.
Other supportivemeasures
While several PBM strategies target prevention and management of anaemia, other strategies are intended to minimize the negative consequences of anaemia and improve the physiological tolerance of anaemia. Any unnecessary organ stress that can increase the oxygen demand should be avoided. Muscle relaxants help reduce
which led to a signicant reduction of transfusion rates to almost half of the baseline. Importantly, hospital mortality rates and the in­cidence of cerebral vascular accidents remained unchanged, while the rate of postoperative kidney injury, length of hospital stay, and total adjusted direct costs of hospital stay decreased following imple­mentation of the PBM programme. Similarly, impressive improve­ments occurred following the establishment of a PBM programme in cardiac surgery departments at other centres. Importantly, these impressive improvements occurred without proper management of anaemia which is a cornerstone of PBM (Fig. 26.1) and likely might result in even better outcomes.
More recently, publication of data from health system- wide im­plementation of a PBM programme, involving over 600,000 patients undergoing various elective operations, showed signicant reduc­tions of transfusion rates, anaemic admissions, and pretransfusion haemoglobin levels. ese changes occurred along with risk­adjusted decreased hospital mortality rate, length of hospital stay, hospital- acquired infections, acute myocardial infarctions, and strokes.
What is evident from these reports and similar studies from other surgical populations is that PBM programmes are eective in re­ducing transfusion rates and resource utilization while achieving similar or improved patient outcomes. PBM represents a new standard of care. Additionally, given the high prevalence of an­aemia, high transfusion rates, and signicant negative outcomes of anaemia and transfusions in patients undergoing cardiac oper­ations, these patients are likely to receive additional benets from multimodality PBM programmes.

Outcomes ofpatient blood management programmes
As PBM is increasingly recognized and adopted by various agen­cies as the standard of care, data on the real- world impacts of PBM programmes on outcomes of patients are emerging. Following implementation of a multimodality PBM programme (which in­cluded meticulous surgical technique, a goal- directed coagulation algorithm, and restrictive transfusion strategies) in cardiac sur­gery in a single centre, data on 2275 patients were compared with 387 patients who were admitted prior to the PBM programme. Implementation of the PBM programme was associated with a sig­nicant decrease of blood loss and lower pre- transfusion haemo­globin levels (indicative of more restrictive transfusion strategies),

Early vein grafailure

Introduction
Coronary artery bypass gra (CABG) surgery is a widely used revascularization strategy for complex multivessel coronary ar­tery disease that improves prognosis and patient quality of life. Despite the clinical benets of surgical coronary revascularization, a common complication post CABG is gra thrombosis or failure, dened as the total occlusion of the gra and impaired blood ow to the revascularized part of the heart. Surgical revascularization with the use of arterial gras (e.g. internal thoracic artery or radial artery) has become the preferred method of revascularization and is associated with acceptable long- term gra patency. Nonetheless, saphenous vein gras (SVGs) are still the most widely used conduit aer internal thoracic artery and are characterized by increased early and late gra failure, which can be as high as 42% at 10years post surgery. While previously the diagnosis of gra occlusion was mainly based on invasive coronary angiography, nowadays the use of computed tomography angiography provides an alternative non­invasive method with excellent diagnostic accuracy for SVG oc­clusion (Fig. 27.1). Gra occlusion may lead to angina recurrence poor quality of life for patients, and heart failure development and revascularization of occluded SVG is technically challenging with a high risk for complications.
Vein redoxstate
Aer harvesting, SVGs undergo a period of ischaemia and reper­fusion which may result in vascular wall injury. Distention of SVGs during harvesting also causes mechanical damage to vein wall, and increases production of reactive oxygen species. Ex vivo studies of human SVGs have provided important evidence on the role of superoxide radical formation in vein gra wall and their role in
Mechanisms ofvein graftfailure
e mechanisms of gra failure are multifactorial and discreet ac­cording to the time frame post surgery. e insights into gra failure mechanisms are mainly derived from studies on SVGs. Early SVG failure is typically attributed to thrombotic or technical factors, while intimal hyperplasia may also contribute to gra stenosis in the rst year post CABG.
Late aer bypass surgery gra atherosclerosis becomes the dom­inant cause of gra failure. Typically, atherosclerosis in vascular gras is characterized by a concentric and diuse pattern, with a less well- dened brous cap compared to coronary atheromas, which is more prone to rupture. An overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in SVG failure is provided in Fig. 27.2.
