[Surgeries on gastrointestinal tract without components of donor's blood]

Results of surgical treatment without transfusion of donor's blood in 58 patients were compared with ones in 40 patients treated with allogenous transfusions. Blood-saving program included preoperative storage of autoplasma, acute normovolemic hemodilution, recombinant human erythropoietin and perftoran. Both groups of patients were similar by types of surgeries performed on gastrointestinal tract. Results of treatment in the study group (58 patients) were better: there were less postoperative complications; period of postoperative rehabilitation was shorter. It is demonstrated that it is possible to refuse allogenous hemotransfusion in 96.6% cases of traumatic surgeries on gastrointestinal tract.
