Abstract

Autotransfusion with unwashed salvaged blood (USB) is effective for avoiding allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We performed a retrospective study to determine the percentage of patients receiving ABT and the volume of postoperative blood drainage after introduction of autotransfusion with USB for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) undergoing TKA. In 100 patients without autotransfusion (group 1) and 100 patients receiving autotransfusion of USB (group 2), we compared the number of patients who required ABT, as well as the postoperative drainage volume, ABT volume, and autotransfusion volume. In group 1, 83% of the patients received ABT, while only 47% received ABT in group 2, and there was a significant decrease (p < 0.001). However, the postoperative drainage volume was significantly increased in group 2 (p < 0.001).
