    A new method accurately measures cardiotomy suction return. Higher suction volume correlated with lower postoperative platelet counts in congenital heart disease patients undergoing surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Hematology
    • Medical Device Innovation

    Background:

    • Cardiotomy suction systems are crucial during cardiac surgery for managing blood loss.
    • Understanding the impact of cardiotomy suction on patient hemodynamics and hematological parameters is important.
    • Existing methods for measuring cardiotomy suction return may lack simplicity, affordability, or accuracy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a simple, inexpensive, and accurate method for quantifying cardiotomy suction return.
    • To investigate the relationship between cardiotomy suction volume and postoperative platelet counts in patients with congenital heart disease.
    • To identify factors influencing platelet count changes in relation to cardiotomy suction.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel method for measuring cardiotomy suction return was devised and calibrated.

  • Platelet counts were measured preoperatively and postoperatively in 76 patients with congenital heart disease.
  • Cardiotomy suction return volume, time on bypass, and perfusate aspiration percentages were recorded.

    • Main Results:

    • The mean cardiotomy suction return was 8.9% of total perfusate.
    • Both postoperative platelet count and the percentage change in platelet counts showed a correlation with cardiotomy suction volume.
    • Platelet count changes also correlated with duration of cardiopulmonary bypass and percentage of perfusate aspirated by the suction system.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method provides a reliable way to measure cardiotomy suction return.
    • Significant cardiotomy suction return is associated with altered postoperative platelet counts in pediatric cardiac surgery patients.
    • Further research may explore strategies to mitigate the impact of cardiotomy suction on platelet counts.
