Conserving Blood During Cardiac Surgery at Huntington
University Hospital (A)
Abeel A. Mangi, Cate Reavis, and Roberto Fernandez
Patients who underwent cardiac surgery often required a blood
transfusion or other blood products. In
order for surgeons to work upon or inside the heart, certain
parts of the heart or great vessels
surrounding it needed to be opened and then repaired with
suture material. Opening a chamber of the
heart disrupted its hermetic seal and permitted blood to spill out
and into the surrounding space.
While bleeding was undesirable for obvious reasons, restoring
blood via transfusions was not a
panacea. According to a 2006 study published in the Annals of
Thoracic Surgery, a cardiac patient
who received a blood transfusion after an aortic valve
replacement (AVR) or a coronary artery bypass

grafting (CABG) had a 30% lower chance of survival at six
months and a 50% lower chance at 10
years.1 The 10-year survival rate without a transfusion was
90%.2
On average, 48.9% of patients in the United States who
underwent an AVR or a CABG required a
blood transfusion.3 At Huntington University Hospital (HUH),
where 500 patients underwent an AVR
or CABG annually, the percentage of patients who received
blood transfusions in 2011, 2012, and
2013 was around 71%. This was happening at a time when the
Affordable Care Act of 2010 was
forcing hospitals to provide quality care in a cost efficient way.
Dr. Frank Young, who joined HUH’s for Cardiac Medicine in
2011 and whose patients were among
the hospital’s sickest, wanted to help bring down the Center’s
transfusion rate by leading a blood

CONSERVING BLOOD DURING CARDIAC SURGERY AT
HUNTINGTON UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL (A)
May 7, 2016 2

conservation project involving the medical teams that worked
together during the intra- and post-
operative phases. The goal was to reduce the hospital’s blood
product4 utilization during cardiac
surgery and after by two-thirds within one year, by the end of
2014, thereby bringing transfusion rates
down to the national average and resulting in annual cost
savings of $2.5 million. More importantly,
it would save the lives of an additional 125 people per year over
10 years.
Young knew he faced an uphill battle in convincing his fellow
surgeons and the medical teams that
accompanied them during surgeries to make changes to their
surgical routines. Autonomy was
critically important to physicians and he was attempting a
professional intervention of sorts.
Furthermore, he was a new arrival to HUH, especially
considering some of his senior colleagues had
spent their entire careers there. Then there was the challenge
posed by the complex organizational
structure inherent in most teaching hospitals: fellow cardiac
surgeons aside, few, if any, members of
the medical teams Young worked with during and after surgery
reported to him. He would have to
convince colleagues, over whom he had no formal influence,
that one, there was a problem and, two,
that it could be solved as long as they were willing to change
their ways.
Huntington University Hospital
With 7,500 employees including 2,800 nurses, 2,400 university
and community physicians, and 400
resident physicians practicing more than 75 medical specialties,

HUH was the primary teaching
hospital for Huntington University Medical School, one of the
most renowned medical schools in the
United States. In 2013, the hospital generated $1.3 billion in
revenue and $120 million in net income.
HUH’s Center for Cardiac Medicine, where Young worked,
included seven surgeons who together
conducted over 900 heart surgeries a year, contributing $130
million in revenue and $12 million in
net income.
Young joined HUH in 2011 as the surgical director for the
Center’s Heart Failure and Cardiac
Transplant Program. Prior to joining HUH, he spent two years
as a cardiac surgeon at one of the
world’s top cardiac care hospitals where medical teams carried
out over 4,000 open heart operations a
year. Huntington University hired Young to rejuvenate the
Center’s heart transplantation program
where the number of patients coming in was on the decline and
outcomes were unsatisfactory. One
medical survey conducted in 2013 ranked HUH #39 for
cardiology and heart surgery, giving it very
low scores when it came to patient safety and success in
preventing major postsurgical bleeding.
Despite the poor score, patient safety was a critically important
value at HUH. Every month, an email
was sent out to the entire hospital staff recognizing specific
employees for making a meaningful
contribution to patient safety.
4 Blood products include packed red blood cells, fresh frozen
plasma, platelets and cryoprecipitate.

May 7, 2016 3
Organizational Structure
As Young was getting to know HUH in the first weeks after he
arrived, one thing that confounded
him was its complex organizational structure. Every cardiac
operation involved a 20-person
functional team, which included the cardiac anesthesiologist,
perfusionist,5 cardiac surgeon, operating
room (OR) nurses, intensive care unit (ICU) physicians,
physician assistants, and fellows and
residents. The functional grouping enabled people with deep
expertise and highly specialized
knowledge to work together in a coordinated fashion, much like
a symphony, as one ICU physician
explained, and intermittently allowed for the exchange of
human capital from one OR to another
when necessary. The time of intra-operative care for heart
surgery patients was typically four to six
days.
From an organizational perspective, there were few formal
connections among the members of the
team that carried out cardiac surgeries and oversaw a patient’s
recovery. Physicians, which included
cardiologists, surgeons, anesthesiologists, and ICU physicians,
were hired by the medical school and
were grouped by function with discrete and hierarchical

reporting relationships. Young, for example,
reported to a section chief. The section chief reported to the
chair of the department who in turn
reported to the dean of the medical school.
Physicians also had opaque compensation and incentive
arrangements. Salaries were individually
negotiated. There was no group incentive plan for surgeons. The
medical school awarded surgeons
multi-year contracts and paid the teaching portion of physician
salaries, which amounted to less than
7% of their total compensation. Through a complicated
arrangement, HUH paid the majority of
physician compensation based on how much revenue they
generated, which, in the case of heart
surgeons, was a considerable amount. The salary structure also
helped ensure that HUH and its
medical school attracted and retained top talent. Young believed
this type of organizational and
compensation structure encouraged competition among surgeons
and did little to foster camaraderie
and teamwork. In contrast, other hospitals, like the one Young
worked at prior to HUH, offered
yearly contracts and paid everyone a fixed salary. This was
thought to encourage group decision-
making in the best interest of the patient and discourage
competition among surgeons for patients.
Meanwhile, perfusionists, nurses, physician assistants, and
fellows and residents, all members of a
typical surgical team, were hired by the hospital. Like the
physicians, these specialists were grouped
by function and reported through their own individual chains of
commands. Specifically, nurses
ultimately reported to the chief nursing officer and perfusionists
reported to the director of the

operating rooms. No one reported to the surgeons. These
specialists were paid fixed salaries and were
not incentivized by volume.
The absence of formal alignment between the two groups meant
that there was no formal chain of

machine.

authority in the operating room. “I have no direct control over
any of the nursing staff,” Young
explained. “But, there is recognition of a certain hierarchy in
terms of who ultimately controls the
trajectory of patient care.” Nevertheless, in the case of heart
surgeries, certain key decisions about a
patient’s care could be made without immediately notifying the
surgeon. In a non-emergency, various
members of the medical team, including nurses, could make the
decision on whether a patient should
receive a blood transfusion. The cardiac surgeon did not need to
be notified before his or her patient
received a transfusion, a practice that took Young by surprise.
In his previous job, it was mandatory
that the surgeon be notified before his or her patient had a blood
transfusion.

The Blood Conservation Project
In December 2013, Young, who was known for his dual
interests in improving outcomes and
lowering costs, and intention of enrolling in an MBA program,
was asked to sit on the Center for
Cardiac Medicine’s newly constituted Committee for
Operational Excellence (COE). The 20-person
committee, co-headed by a cardiologist and a heart surgeon, was
comprised of hospital administrators
and medical staff, and physicians from the medical school. One
of its main goals, as explained in a
press bulletin that was sent out to HUH staff, was to bolster the
hospital’s reputation by making the
Center for Cardiac Medicine a world-class destination populated
with multidisciplinary teams of top
rated clinicians and educators.
Part of the committee’s work involved exploring various growth
strategies for HUH and finding ways
to improve quality outcomes while bringing down costs. The
hospital was looking for $80 million in
savings. The Affordable Care Act of 2010’s Hospital Value-
Based Purchasing Program rewarded
acute care hospitals with incentive payments for the quality of
care they provided to Medicare
patients, how closely best clinical practices were followed, and
how well hospitals enhanced patients’
experiences of care during hospital stays.6 By the same token,
hospitals that veered in the opposite
direction, for example those that had excessive 30-day
readmission rates, were penalized.7 Pay-for-
performance was replacing fee-for-service. As one HUH
director explained, hospitals were being
challenged with getting medical providers to “move in a

direction that’s productive not only for their
patients but for the institution.”
Young was nominated to chair COE’s cost and value-
positioning sub-committee, which was charged
with looking at quality outcomes in relation to costs. One
surprising statistic the committee unearthed
was that 51% of the patients that came through the Center for
Cardiac Medicine had some sort of
bleeding-related complication and, of those, most had come
through the Center’s operating room
where the number of blood transfusions taking place for AVR
and CABG averaged 65% in 2013.8

2013.

Compared to similar-sized academic teaching hospitals offering
AVR and CABG, HUH spent several
million dollars more on blood products during cardiac surgery.
Meanwhile, the total direct costs
associated with bleeding-related complications for HUH was
nearly $8 million in 2013, of which
cardiac surgery accounted for nearly half. From a value-based
purchasing perspective, Young knew
the practice was not sustainable and he believed there were
several quick techniques that medical
teams could employ to bring down the use of blood products,
assuming his colleagues would be
willing to comply. In addition to ensuring that there was no
bleeding from the heart before the chest
cavity was closed, autologous blood harvest and retrograde
autologous priming were two blood
conservation techniques Young knew about and had practiced.
See Figure 2 for descriptions of each.
Figure 2 Autologous Blood Harvest and Retrograde Autologous
Priming
Autologous blood harvest drew off a pre-determined volume of
blood from the patient and was
stored in the OR with the goal of returning it to the patient
immediately at the conclusion of surgery.
The advantage of using the patient’s own blood was that its
clotting elements would not have been
degraded by exposure to the heart-lung machine.

Retrograde autologous priming, or RAP, removed saline fluid,
which could amount to as many as
two liters of fluid, from the heart-lung machine and replaced it
with the patient’s own blood. Doing so
prevented the profound dilutional effect when saline solution
mixed in with the patient’s circulating
blood, often leading to a falling blood count.

In most organizations like HUH, the chief of cardiac surgery
would likely lead a project that sought to
change cardiac-related operating procedures. However, HUH’s
Chief Medical Officer asked Young,
who had impressed him with his enthusiasm, the respect his
peers had for his clinical capabilities, and
the work he was doing on the OLC to lead the blood
conservation project.
Supporters and Skeptics
Fortunately for Young, there were many obvious supporters of
the project. One of his most important
supporters was Anil Gupta, a cardiac anesthesiologist and
intensivist who joined HUH in 2003 and
became director of the Center for Cardiac Medicine’s
cardiothoracic ICU unit in 2010. For some
time, Gupta had been concerned about the amount of blood

products being used in the peri-operative
period, in the OR and in the ICU, and had raised the issue with
colleagues before Young joined HUH.
“I thought we were misusing these products,” he said. “A blood
product is considered a medication.”
Approximately, 40% of blood transfusions took place in the
ICU.
Young’s support network also included hospital administrators,
nurses, perfusion staff, cardiologists,
and a couple of Young’s surgical colleagues. As Gupta noted,
“People were actually hungry to see
something new happening and to see that we wanted to change
the way medicine had been practiced
in our area for the past two or three decades. They understood
that it was truly the best thing for
patients.”
The skeptics of the blood conservation project included several
veteran heart surgeons who didn’t
understand why they needed to change their ways, eliciting
intial reactions like, “Why are we
bothering to do this? We’ve been doing it this way for 20 years
and we haven’t had any problems.”
Young elaborated on their reaction: “The way most cardiac
surgeons function is every operation has a
certain rhythm to it. People don’t want to be disrupted from
their usual routine. Even the imposition
of a couple of minutes can seem like an eternity to people who
are not accustomed to it,” especially,
he added, since surgeons had historically been compensated for
the number of surgeries performed,
and had practiced medicine with little incentive to think about
cost implications.
One of the administrative staff who Young spoke to about the

project told him that he supported the
effort and then said, “I wish you luck,” which Young took to
mean the culture of the organization was
such that there were far easier cost saving efforts to take on.
Conclusion
As Young studied the latest numbers for blood product usage in
the OR and ICU, he knew that
HUH’s Center for Cardiac Medicine’s surgical teams could do
better and had to do better. As the
appointed leader of the Blood Conservation Project which
would require changing the behavior of a
number of his colleagues, Young had to decide where to start,
who to involve, and when, and how to
explain the problem so that the skeptics would become full-on
supporters. Finally, he had to ensure
that the changes stuck.
