Transfusion of allogeneic blood products can have adverse effects and profoundly influence postoperative liver transplantation outcomes, including graft survival. To minimize allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, salvaged blood can be used during liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of salvaged blood to allogeneic RBC transfusion in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) recipients. Data of 311 adult-to-adult LDLT recipients between January 2015 and April 2019 were analyzed. The primary outcome was a change in requirement for allogeneic RBCs due to the use of salvaged blood. Additionally, predictors of intraoperative allogeneic RBC transfusion were investigated. One hundred fifty-three (49.2%) recipients required allogeneic RBC transfusion. If recipients did not receive salvaged blood, 253 (81.4%) recipients would have needed allogeneic RBC transfusion. The total volume of salvaged blood transfused into recipients during surgery was 269,165 mL, which corresponded to 993 units of allogeneic RBCs and accounted for 76.1% of total RBC transfusion volume. Multivariate analysis showed that male recipients, model for end-stage liver disease score, preoperative hemoglobin level, and volume of salvaged blood used during surgery were independent predictors of the need for intraoperative allogenic RBC transfusion. Intraoperative use of salvaged blood significantly reduced allogeneic RBC transfusion in LDLT recipients. It can help transplant teams manage transfusion of allogeneic RBCs during liver transplantation.
