Brief summary

An observational study comparing two systems of perioperative blood recovery in cardiac surgery, one system allowing red blood cell reinfusion and one system allowing red blood cell and platelet reinfusion. The objective is to evaluate whether platelet recovery provides better quality of hemostasis during and after surgery, improving transfusion savings, and whether it reduces postoperative complications and the length of stay in the intensive care unit and in the hospital.

Detailed description

° Primary outcome of the study : The primary outcome of the study is to compare the evolution of perioperative platelet count based on the type of blood recovery used, either SAME or Cell-Saver. The main outcome measure is the difference between the preoperative and immediate postoperative platelet counts (delta platelet) for each patient between the SAME and Cell-Saver groups. ° Secondary outcomes of the study: The secondary outcomes are to evaluate, from the preoperative period until day 28 postoperatively: * The post-operative platelet count between days 1 and 5 * The frequency of perioperative and postoperative transfusions, including the number and type of blood products transfused * The use of derivative medications (fibrinogen, prothrombin complex concentrates) * The volume of postoperative bleeding * The frequency of postoperative events (infectious, renal, thromboembolic, hemorrhagic) * The length of stay in the intensive care unit and in the hospital * The frequency of treatment for postoperative anemia with iron or erythropoiesis-stimulating agents.

Interventions

DEVICECELL-Saver

The Cell-saver device allows for red blood cell reinfusion during cardiac surgery.

DEVICESAME
