Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: Normovolemic hemodilution is a well-accepted method for intraoperative blood salvage. However, some controversy exists concerning the possible risk of myocardial fiber injury as consequence of the reduced oxygen content. Laboratory diagnosis of perioperative myocardial fiber injury is difficult, since biochemical markers are elevated postoperatively due to the surgical trauma. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) is a new, highly sensitive and specific marker for the detection of myocardial injury. The aim of our study was to investigate whether normovolemic hemodilution in patients with major orthopedic surgery (13 hemodiluted patients, 15 control) induces a release of cTnI. METHODS: cTnI as a highly specific and sensitive cardiac parameter, as well as total creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB mass (CKMB mass) and myoglobin were measured after induction of anesthesia, after normovolemic hemodilution, prior to retransfusion of blood components, 3 h after surgery, and on the first and third postoperative days. RESULTS: Prior to retransfusion of blood components the hematocrit was decreased to 25.4 +/- 1.2% (mean +/- SEM; range: 18%-34%) in the control group and to 20.2 +/- 0.8% (mean +/- SEM; range: 17%-24%) in the hemodilution group. Total CK, CKMB mass as well as myoglobin concentration increased significantly in both groups, reaching their maxima within the first day of surgery. In contrast, cTnI was below the detection limit of assay (< 0.5 micrograms/L) at any time. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that pre- and intraoperative hemodilution to a hematocrit of approximately 20% by maintaining normovolemia does not induce myocardial fiber injury in patients without preexisting cardiac diseases.
