Abstract

Bombay blood (hh blood) is a rare blood group (4 per million), with no expression of the H antigen present in blood group O. Bombay blood patients can only receive Bombay blood, with autodonation used for elective surgery. We present a Bombay patient (haemoglobin 12.1 g/dL) who needed urgent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. In order to try and avoid transfusion, we used a multidisciplinary approach as well as the use of 'no swabs' (swab/gauze/sponge), until cardiopulmonary bypass was established. This 'experiment' demonstrates that using fewer swabs may be a simple reproducible action that may reduce the need for transfusion, which is especially useful when dealing with a patient of such a rare blood group.

孟买血液和“棉签- lite”血液保存方法。

孟买血（hh blood）是一种罕见的血型（百万分之4），o血型中没有H抗原的表达。孟买血患者只能接受孟买血，自行捐献用于选择性手术。我们报告一位孟买病人（血红蛋白12.1 g/dL）需要紧急冠状动脉搭桥手术。为了尽量避免输血，我们使用了多学科方法以及“无拭子”（拭子/纱布/海绵），直到建立了体外循环。这个“实验”表明，使用更少的棉签可能是一个简单的可重复的行动，可能会减少输血的需要，这在治疗这种罕见血型的病人时尤其有用。
