Subject: Clinically, a reduction in hematocrit (Hct) or hemoglobin (Hb) levels is a notable condition commonly observed in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Postoperative anemia is a risk factor for mortality in patients undergoing CABG, affecting both the early and late stages of recovery. However, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely elucidated. We aimed to investigate the relation between the hematologic indices with two surgery methods (on-pump & off-pump).
Methods: Fifty consecutive CABG cases were randomly assigned to group I (On-pump, n= 24) and group II (Off-pump, n = 26). General clinical and surgery parameters, hematologic incidence were measured in two blood samples, the first sample was taken from each patient on the morning of the day of surgery after 12-hr fasting, and the second sample on the first postoperative day at 24-hr after surgery. Statistically assessing serum levels pre- and post-CABG and comparing between the two groups was analyzed and the correlation between parameters was evaluated.
Result: In the baseline, there were significant differences between the on-pump and off-pump groups regarding heart rate (HR) (p = 0.002). Investigation after surgery showed that the difference in HR and urea levels in pre- and post-CABG was significant when compared between the two groups. A significant difference was observed in the white blood cell, it became less after the operation. The decrease in platelet and PT level in patients who underwent the on-pump and off-pump surgery (diff = -23.5 and diff = -0.62, respectively) was shown and this difference remained significant between the two groups.
Conclusion: We achieve the on-pump method places greater stress on blood cells, resulting in reduced levels of white blood cell in patient outcomes. It can be suggested that it should be adjusted for patients undergoing both on-pump and off-pump surgeries.
