- Retained_blood_syndrome abstract "Retained blood syndrome (RBS) results from the ineffective evacuation of blood and fluid from a surgical or traumatic wound after surgery. This can happen after nearly any operation or major trauma, but especially operations like heart surgery, thoracic surgery, trauma surgery, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, pelvic surgery or plastic surgery. In nearly all of these specialties, surgical drains are needed to removed blood and fluid from the surgical wounds in the early phase of recovery. RBS can develop when these drains fail to perform the required task that is to drain blood, fluid, and air from the surgical wound.Although RBS can occur after any procedure that requires a drainage catheter, RBS is probably best recognized after cardiac surgery, where chest tubes are used to drain blood from around the heart and lungs in the early hours after surgery. If the evacuation of blood is incomplete, RBS can occur. Clinically, RBS can be recognized acutely or subacutely. When it presents acutely, it is usually fresh thrombus around the heart or lungs presenting as tamponade or hemothorax. When it presents subacutely, it results in bloody pleural or pericardial effusions.Once RBS occurs, subsequent procedures may be needed to remedy it. In an analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) data from 2010, RBS could be demonstrated in 17% of patients. In this analysis, mortality was doubled from 3% to 6%, length of stay was increased by 5 days, and average costs were 55% higher. Patients with RBS, therefore, appear to be at increased at risk for complications and costs.Recently it has become better understood that the postoperative obstruction of conventional chest tubes with blood and other fibrinous material in the setting of postoperative bleeding is central to the root cause of RBS. When blood encounters the surfaces of chest tubes, the coagulation cascade is initiated, which often lead to partial or complete chest tube clogging with clot. In a recent study of postoperative cardiac surgery patients at the Cleveland Clinic, 36% of patients were found to have evidence of chest tube obstruction. If chest tube obstruction occurs when a patient is still bleeding after heart surgery, RBS ensues.A growing body of literature suggests links between retained blood and the development of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) and other complications. Postoperative atrial fibrillation is one of the most common complications after heart surgery, occurring in 20% to 60% of patients, and is a leading cause of hospital readmissions. Patients with occluded chest tubes have been shown to have a higher rate of POAF. Although the precise mechanism that explains why patients with RBS have higher POAF is unclear, inflammation from clot in the pericardium may be contributory.Active clearance of chest tubes with the PleuraFlow Active Clearance Technology System can reduce RBS. In one study, a multidisciplinary team developed a simple protocol to institute active clearance to preventatively clear chest tubes of clot during the first 24 hours after heart surgery. In matched patients, 19.9% of patients had interventions for RBS (baseline). After the implementation of active clearance with PleuraFlow (treatment group), the percent of patients with interventions for RBS was reduced to 11.3%, representing a 43% reduction in RBS (P = .0087). These patients had a 33% reduced incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) with PleuraFlow. These findings underscore the importance of maintaining chest tube patency in the early hours after cardiac surgery.The costs of RBS are high. In one analysis of over 313,000 adult cardiac surgery patients from the 2010 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), from the DHHS Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP), it was found that the incremental increase in costs for RBS is as high as $28,814 per patient in the US. This suggests that there can be considerable finacialfinancial savings for hospitals by reducing even a small percentage of patients with RBS by preventing chest tube clogging after heart surgery.The result of ineffective evacuation of blood and fluid from a surgical or traumatic wound after surgery has also been reported in the literature under other names, including Retained Blood Complications (RBC), Retained Blood Complex (RBC) and Failure to Drain.".
