About this trial

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the effect of antegrade pump blood reinfusion using the crystalloid "chase" technique on postoperative transfusion requirements in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. At the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, blood remaining within the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit is reinfused antegradely through the arterial line using a crystalloid chase, without collection or storage. Blood remaining within the bypass circuit after surgery represents a valuable source of autologous blood, and its reinfusion may contribute to perioperative blood conservation strategies. Patients receiving antegrade pump blood reinfusion via the chase technique will be compared with those managed without reinfusion, without any intervention by the investigators. The primary outcome is postoperative blood transfusion requirement.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18 to 80 years

Patients undergoing elective, isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (on-pump).

Disqualifiers

Emergency or Redo cardiac surgery

Concomitant cardiac procedures (e.g., valve repair/replacement or aortic surgery).

Planned or intraoperative conversion to off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting

Preoperative hematocrit <30% or known inherited/acquired bleeding disorders.

Trial population

The study population includes adult patients (18-80 years) scheduled for elective, primary isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using cardiopulmonary bypass at Kocaeli City Hospital.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Antegrade Pump Blood Reinfusion

    Procedure/Surgery

    Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in whom antegrade pump blood reinfusion is performed at the end of bypass using the crystalloid chase technique, as part of routine clinical practice.

  • No Anterograde Pump Blood Reinfusion

    Other intervention

    Adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in whom anterograde pump blood reinfusion is not performed at the end of bypass. Standard institutional clinical management is applied.
