Abstract
Analyzing the effect of intraoperative autotransfusion on serum electrolytes, inflammatory response and cellular immune response in puerperae undergoing cesarean section. This study is a retrospective study of 60 women who underwent cesarean section in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023. The subjects were divided into 2 groups according to the blood transfusion mode of the patients. The differences in blood transfusion volume, blood transfusion volume, serum electrolyte, inflammatory response, cellular immune function, coagulation function and prognosis were compared between the 2 groups. The intraoperative blood transfusion volume, postoperative feeding time, the activity time since getting out of bed, the time of physical recovery and hospital stay in the observation group were lower compared to those of the control group, but the intraoperative crystal infusion volume and the colloid infusion volume in the observation group were higher compared to those of the control group (P < .05). Ca2+ concentrations of the observation group and the control group were lower compared with those of their same groups before surgery (P < .05), however, there were no statistically significant differences in the comparison of the Ca2+ concentrations between the observation group and the control group (P > .05). At 1d postoperatively, IL-1β, IL-6 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were all higher (P < .05) and CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ were all lower (P < .05) in the observation group and the control group compared with those of their same groups before surgery. The IL-1 β, IL-6, and GM-CSF of the observation group were decreased compared to those of the control group (P < .05) and CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ of the observation group were elevated compared to those of the control group (P < .05). Both autotransfusion and allogeneic blood transfusions during maternal cesarean section can attenuate the inflammatory response and have no significant inhibition of coagulation, and autotransfusion have less effect on the cellular immune response, are more effective in attenuating the inflammatory response, and significantly improve prognosis, although changes in Ca2+ concentration after transfusion require attention.
