BACKGROUND: Perioperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is associated with poor outcomes in liver surgery. Hypovolemic phlebotomy (HP) is a novel intervention hypothesized to decrease transfusion requirements. The objective of this study was to examine this hypothesis. METHODS: Consecutive patients who underwent liver resection at one institution (2010-2016) were included. Factors found to be predictive of transfusion on univariate analysis and those previously published were modeled using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: A total of 361 patients underwent liver resection (50% major). HP was performed in 45 patients. Phlebotomized patients had a greater proportion of primary malignancy (31% vs 18%) and major resection (84% vs 45%). Blood loss was significantly lower with phlebotomy in major resections (400 vs 700 mL). Nadir central venous pressure was significantly lower with HP (2.5 vs 5 cm H2O). On multivariate logistic regression, HP (OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.068-0.57, p = 0.0029), major liver resection (OR 2.91, 95% CI 1.64-5.18, p = 0.0003), preoperative hemoglobin < 125 g/L (OR 6.02, 95% CI 3.44-10.56, p < 0.0001), and underlying liver disease (OR 2.24, 95% CI 1.27-3.95, p = 0.0051) were significantly associated with perioperative RBC transfusion. CONCLUSION: Hypovolemic phlebotomy appears to be strongly associated with a reduction in RBC transfusion requirements in liver resection, independent of other known risk factors.
