Defining The Quality Of Intraoperatively Salvaged Blood For Deformity Surgery

June 28, 2023 updated by: NYU Langone Health
The actual quality of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) salvaged during spinal deformity surgery has never been rigorously evaluated. To characterize the usefulness of intraoperatively salvaged RBCs in spinal deformity surgery. The study team hopes to answer the following questions: 1) What is the quality of RBCs salvaged during spine surgery? 2) Does intraoperatively transfused RBC salvage impact clinical outcomes?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Levels
Time Frame: Day 1 (Day of Surgery)
LDH assays will be performed following a standardized mechanical stress test will be used to determine whether salvaged red blood cells exhibit signs of fragility ex vivo.
Day 1 (Day of Surgery)
Hemoglobin Levels
Time Frame: Day 1 (Day of Surgery)
Hemoglobin assays will be performed following a standardized mechanical stress test will be used to determine whether salvaged red blood cells exhibit signs of fragility ex vivo.
Day 1 (Day of Surgery)
Elongation Index (Deformability)
Time Frame: Day 1 (Day of Surgery)
Ektacytometry will be employed to measure elongation index of salvaged RBCs.
Day 1 (Day of Surgery)
Critical Shear Stress (Aggregation)
Time Frame: Day 1 (Day of Surgery)
Ektacytometry will be employed to measure critical shear stress of salvaged RBCs.
Day 1 (Day of Surgery)
