| Abstract: |
| Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of acute normovolemic
hemodilution (ANH) during liver surgery.
Methods: Structured searches of the PubMed, Chinese Biological Medicine Database, and Cochrane
Library electronic databases were performed, followed by a meta-analysis of outcomes, including
intraoperative blood transfusion(s), intraoperative bleeding, postoperative hematocrit (Hct) levels,
postoperative prothrombin time (PT), and number of patients who underwent transfusions during liver
surgery.
Results: In total, 14 eligible studies were included in the meta-analysis, which revealed that ANH for liver
resection was associated with a reduction in intraoperative blood transfusions [weighted mean difference
(WMD) ?1.99; 95% confidence interval (CI) ?2.82 to ?1.16; P < 0.00001]. The ANH group experienced
less intraoperative bleeding (WMD ?72.81; 95% CI ?136.12 to ?9.50; P < 0.00001) and exhibited a lower
postoperative Hct level (WMD ?3.38; 95% CI ?7.14 to ?0.67; P < 0.00001) than the control group. Moreover,
meta-analysis revealed that postoperative prothrombin time was not affected by ANH (WMD ?0.02; 95% CI
?0.18 to ?0.32; P = 0.65). Finally, the number of patients requiring allogeneic transfusion was significantly
smaller in the ANH group than in the control group (odds ratio 0.13; 95% CI 0.09 to 0.18; P = 0.24).
Conclusion: Results of the present meta-analysis indicated that ANH can reduce intraoperative bleeding
and the need for blood transfusions. In addition, ANH did not negatively affect the coagulation system after
surgery; therefore, ANH appears to be safe and effective during liver surgery. |
