A cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a device that circulates oxygenated blood throughout the body while the heart is stopped for surgery, making it essential for performing cardiac surgery safely. CPB is initially filled with priming fluid. When CPB starts, this fluid dilutes the patient's blood. As the red blood cell concentration decreases, there is a risk of insufficient oxygen delivery to tissues, necessitating transfusion. Red blood cell transfusion has been associated with postoperative pulmonary complications in pediatric cardiac surgery, and minimizing the use of blood products may be beneficial. In addition, reducing the volume of priming fluid in the CPB circuit can reduce the decrease in hematocrit concentration associated from hemodilution. Besides reducing the priming volume, Retrograde Autologous Priming (RAP) and Reduced Priming (RP) can further reduce hemodilution associated with CPB initiation. Therefore, we investigated whether there was a correlation between the amount of RAP and the effect of reducing hematocrit decline, and whether there was a difference in the amount of RAP administered between cases that achieved bloodless surgery and cases that required intraoperative transfusion.
Safety,Efficacy
Confirmatory
Not applicable
To demonstrate the correlation between the intra-circuit blood replacement ratio in RAP & RP and hematocrit changes.
To confirm whether there is a difference in the proportion of blood replaced within the circuit when patients are divided into a no-transfusion group and a group receiving transfusions.
To confirm whether there is a difference in the changes in local cerebral oxygen saturation and lactate levels between the group undergoing RAP and the group not undergoing RAP.
To confirm whether there is a difference in ICU length of stay and hospital length of stay between the group undergoing RAP and the group not undergoing RAP.

Male and Female
Pediatric patients who underwent intracardiac repair for ventricular septal defect or atrial septal defect at Seirei Hamamatsu Hospital between January 2006 and December 2024.
Cases where no transfusion surgery was deemed unfeasible and blood products were administered to the initial priming fluid of cardiopulmonary bypass beforehand
Cases extracted from the database as ventricular septal defect and atrial septal defect, but where these were comorbid conditions and the primary pathology differed
Cases where the surgical procedure was extended during surgery due to unexpected patient factors or complications
Cases meeting the age criteria of 0 to 15 years old but with a weight exceeding 50 kg
Cases where a lateral thoracotomy approach was chosen instead of a standard median sternotomy

We demonstrated that retrograde autologous priming and venous antegrade priming (collectively referred to as AP) effectively maintained higher hematocrit levels at the onset of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in proportion to the AP volume. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the maintenance rate of hematocrit (post-CPB onset relative to pre-CPB) increased by 0.5% for every 0.1 increase in the ratio of AP volume to the total CPB priming volume.
