Comparative Study
Journal Article
A novel calculation to estimate blood volume and hematocrit during bypass.
Journal of Extra-corporeal Technology 2008 March
Patient blood volume impacts most facets of perfusion care, including volume management, transfusion practices, and pharmacologic interventions. Unfortunately, there is a wide variability in individual blood volumes, and experimental measurement is not practical in the clinical environment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a mathematical algorithm for estimating individual blood volume. After institutional review board approval, volumetric and transfusion data were prospectively collected for 165 patients and applied to a series of calculations. The resultant blood volume estimate (BVE) was used to predict the first and last bypass hematocrit. The estimated hematocrits using both BVE and 65 mL/kg were compared with measured hematocrits using the Pearson moment correlation coefficient and the Bland Altman measures of accuracy and precision. There was a wide range of BVE (minimum, 35 mL/kg; mean +/- SD, 64 +/- 22 mL/kg; maximum, 129 mL/kg). Using BVE, the estimated hematocrit was similar to the measured first (24.7 +/- 6.4% vs. 24.5 +/- 6.2%, r = 0.9884, p > .05) and last (24.5 +/- 5.9% vs. 25.1 + 5.7%, r = 0.9001, p > .05) bypass hematocrit. Using 65 mL/kg resulted in a larger difference between estimated and measured hematocrits for the first (25.6 +/- 4.5% vs. 24.5 +/- 6.2%, r = 0.6885, p = .030) and last (23.8 +/- 3.6% vs. 25.1 +/-5.7%, r = 0.5990, p = .001) bypass hematocrits. Compared with using 65 mL/kg for blood volume, the BVE allowed for a more precise estimated hematocrit during CPB.
