IMMUNOLOGICAL INDEXES OF DRAINAGE BLOOD U SED FOR COMPENSATING BLOOD-LOSS

The authors discuss experience in compensation for blood loss in patie nts with ischemic heart disease after aortocoronary shunting using dra inage blood without or with donor blood (80 persons) and do or blood a lone (60 persons). Mild changes of immunity cell factors were revealed and no differences in the concentration of class A, M, and G immunogl obulins and phagocytosis as compared to the indices recorded before th e operation and 24 hours after it. Analysis of postoperative infectiou s-inflammatory complications showed their incidence to be less in pati ents who received drainage blood without or donor blood (23 %) than in those given transfusion of only donor blood (55 %). The results of th e study allow drainage blood to be recommended for reinfusion.
