Impact of minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation on perioperative intravenous fluid management in coronary artery bypass surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Compare the use of blood products and intravenous fluid management in patients scheduled for coronary artery bypass surgery and randomized to minimal invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) and conventional extracorporeal circulation (CECC).

Methods

A total of 240 patients who were scheduled for their first on-pump CABG, were randomized to MiECC or CECC groups. The study period was the first 84 hours after surgery. Hemoglobin <80 g/l was used as transfusion trigger.

Results

Red blood cell transfusions intraoperatively were given less often in the MiECC group (23.3% vs 9.2%, p = 0.005) and the total intravenous fluid intake was significantly lower in the MiECC group (3300 ml [2950-4000] vs 4800 ml [4000-5500], p < 0.001). Hemoglobin drop also was lower in
