Does retrograde autologous priming during coronary artery bypass grafting reduce blood transfusions?
Use of retrograde autologous priming may result in fewer transfusions and thus potentially prevent transfusion-associated risks such as prolonged ventilation. Potential mechanisms include avoidance of volume overload and transfusion-related acute lung injury. Retrograde autologous priming should be considered in appropriately selected patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
