    Abstract:
    Hepatobiliary pancreatic surgery (HBPS) has high morbility and mortality and frequently requires blood transfusion. Allogeneic transfusion may cause adverse sequelae. Predeposit self-transfusiOn (PDS) minimizes allogeneic blood transfusion and avoids most adverse reactions. We present the preliminary data of our PDS experience (with recombinant human erythropoieting, r-HuEPO) in HBPS during the first year. We studied our first-year HBPS-PDS program by a retrospective review of the case histories and transfusion records in our Blood Bank. Sex, weight, underlying disease, packed red cell units (PRCUs) requested, drawn, and transfused, and hospital and ICU stays were analyzed. Nine patients were admitted in the PDS program. Of desired blood units, 83% was obtained, successfully in 77.8% of patients, and 63.2% were transfused with autologous blood transfusion. Only three patients needed allogeneic blood (33.3%). All complications occurred in patients who received allogeneic units. Also, we found stays were three times longer in those patients. PDS could be a valid and safe alternative for patients undergoing elective HBPS because it decreases allogeneic blood requirements, reduces overall complications, and also reduces hospital and ICU stays.
