The patiens of the control group transfused with homologous blood when it was needed. The amount of drainage blood autotransfused in the study group was 633,15cm3 per patient, approximately. The preoperative haematocrit of this group was 39,24% average. In the study group, 10/29 patients required two extra units of homologous blood per patient,where the preoperative haematocrit was 36,01% average. The control group, required 2,66 units of homologous blood per patient, wherees the preoperative haematocrit was 39,23% average.
The temperature was approximately at the same levels to both groups of patients, post operatively, with a mean rate of 38,350C and it’s duration was two days post operatively, average. There were no complications to both groups after the operation.
Moreover, the cost is cheaper comparing to the homologous transfusion, whereas it is the solution of choice, to the people who refuse the blood transfusion, due to religion reasons.
