Impacto de la edad de la sangre de banco sobre la mortalidad del traumatizado. Revisión sistemática Impact of the age of stored blood on trauma patient mortality: a systematic review. Sowers N1, Froese PC1, Erdogan M1, Green RS1. Can J Surg. 2015 Oct;58(5):335-42. Abstract BACKGROUND: The impact of the age of stored red blood cells on mortality in patients sustaining traumatic injuries requiring transfusion of bloodproducts is unknown. The objective of this systematic review was to identify and describe the available literature on the use of older versus newerblood in trauma patient populations. METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, Lilac and the Cochrane Database for published studies comparing the transfusion of newer versus older red blood cells in adult patients sustaining traumatic injuries. Studies included for review reported on trauma patients receiving transfusions of packed red blood cells, identified the age of stored blood that was transfused and reported patient mortality as an end point. We extracted data using a standardized form and assessed study quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS: Seven studies were identified (6780 patients) from 3936 initial search results. Four studies reported that transfusion of older blood was independently associated with increased mortality in trauma patients, while 3 studies did not observe any increase in patient mortality with the use of older versus newer blood. Three studies associated the transfusion of older blood with adverse patient outcomes, including longer stay in the intensive care unit, complicated sepsis, pneumonia and renal dysfunction. Studies varied considerably in design, volumes of blood transfused and definitions applied for old and new blood. CONCLUSION: The impact of the age of stored packed red blood cells on mortality in trauma patients is inconclusive. Future investigations are warranted. PDF   Transfusión perioperatoria de sangre.

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Blood transfusion saves lives but may also increase the risk of injury. The objective of this review was to evaluate the possible adverse effects related to transfusion of red blood cell (RBC) concentrates stored for prolonged periods. DATA SOURCES: The data used in this review were mainly from PubMed articles published in English up to February 2015. STUDY SELECTION: Clinical and basic research articles were selected according to their relevance to this topic. RESULTS: The ex vivo changes to RBC that occur during storage are collectively called storage lesion. It is still inconclusive if transfusion of RBC with storage lesion has clinical relevance. Multiple ongoing prospective randomized controlled trials are aimed to clarify this clinical issue. It was observed that the adverse events related to stored RBC transfusion were prominent in certain patient populations, including trauma, critical care, pediatric, and cardiac surgery patients, which leads to the investigation of underlying mechanisms. It is demonstrated that free hemoglobin toxicity, decreasing of nitric oxide bioavailability, and free iron-induced increasing of inflammation may play an important role in this process. CONCLUSION: It is still unclear whether transfusion of older RBC has adverse effects, and if so, which factors determine such clinical effects. However, considering the magnitude of transfusion and the widespread medical significance, potential preventive strategies should be considered, especially for the susceptible recipients.
