1 Coronary surgery without cardiotomy suction and autotransfusion reduces the postoperative systemic inflammatory response  Martin Westerberg, MD, Anders Bengtsson, MD, PhD, Anders Jeppsson, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 78, Issue 1, Pages (July 2004) DOI: /j.athoracsur

2 Fig 1 Volume of retransfused cardiotomy suction blood versus absolute tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) concentrations 24 hours after surgery in the retransfusion group. There was a significant correlation (Spearman's test) between the two variables (n = 12, r = 0.63, r2 = 0.40, p = 0.027, regression equation: y = − x). (CPB = cardiopulmonary bypass.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , 54-59DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )

3 Fig 2 Volume of retransfused cardiotomy suction blood versus hemoglobin levels 48 hours after surgery in the retransfusion group. There was a significant negative correlation (Spearman's test) between the two variables (n = 11, r = −0.79, r2 = 0.62, p = 0.004, regression equation: y = 128 − 0.08x). (CPB = cardiopulmonary bypass.) The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  , 54-59DOI: ( /j.athoracsur )
