Volume of perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion of each patient was recorded. Moreover, complications and ICU retention times (H) of each patient were also recorded. The data were analyzed using t tests. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Results:</strong> The volume of allogeneic blood transfusion was significantly less in the experimental group than in the control group. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Application of autologous blood cell salvage in off-pump coronary artery bypass graft operation can reduce the volume of allogeneic blood transfusion, alleviate blood shortage, and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, leading to medical, economic, and social benefits.</span></p>}, number={3}, journal={The Heart Surgery Forum}, author={Zhao, Hui and Ma, Huimin and Meng, Li and Zhao, Ziniu and Quan, Xiaoqiang and Cheng, Zhaoyun}, year={2017}, month={Jun.}, pages={E107-E110} }
