ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes of simple salvage autotransfusion and homologous blood transfusion in the management of ruptured ectopic pregnancies.MethodsStandard statistical analysis was done and relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for 112 women randomized to salvage autotransfusion or donor blood transfusion following ruptured ectopic pregnancy.ResultsMore women in the autologous group received more than 1000 mL of blood (RR, 6.41; 95% CI, 2.75–15.24) and had a hematocrit greater than 0.27 at discharge (RR, 3.62; 95% CI, 1.41–6.67). There were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative fever (RR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.43–2.01), postoperative wound infection (RR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.17–3.19) or duration of hospital stay longer than 7 days (RR, 1.3; 95% CI, 0.44–4.31).ConclusionIn resource-poor countries, women with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy receive more blood with salvage autotransfusion.
