6B Sun-Sentinel, Wednesday, March 16, 1988 Pines hospital's first: makes transfusions safer hospitals have not had the equipment. Now, two Red Cross machines, which cost about $15,000 each, and trained operators will be available to hospitals that do not use the procedure, said Dr. Bruce Lenes, medical director of the Red Cross Blood Service of South Florida. "The news here is that the procedure is becoming more widely available," Lenes said. "It's a community service offered through smaller hospitals.

It's a small but significant improvement in patient care." Since November, the American Red Cross has offered the service to Mount Si- nai Medical Center in Miami. The Red Cross is expanding the transfusion program into Broward so fewer people will have to use donated blood or store their own blood for elective surgery, Lenes said. Medical officials hail the procedure as the safest and purest method of blood transfusion because it removes all risk of disease and rejection. Most patients would be eligible for the service, but there are exceptions: when cancer cells are in the blood stream, the surgery involves bacterial infections or someone undergoes intestinal surgery. The cost would be about $400 for a rou tine surgery that uses 4 pints of blood, Lenes said.

The machines have been used in major hospitals for years, mostly during open-heart and orthopedic surgeries. But Lenes said the Red Cross is trying to widen the use of the machines to smaller hospitals and as an alternative to donated blood. Lenes said the procedure, called intraoperative autologous transfusion or blood salvaging, will not replace the need for community blood banks. There will always be people who are just too sick or injured to spare any of their own blood, he said. The machine draws blood while the operation is under way.

Within three minutes, the blood passes through a filter, then a centrifuge, leaving clean usable blood cells in a saline solution. The clean blood can then be transfused into the patient during surgery or within 24 hours, Lenes said. Hospitals that do not already have the equipment or want to do more of the pro- cedure will be able to use the Red Cross machine, called Baylor Rapid Autologous Transfusion, which was developed by doctors at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. By BEVERLY STRACHER Staff Writer A 74-year-old Pembroke Pines woman will be the first person in Broward to benefit from an expanded Red Cross service when she undergoes abdominal surgery today at Pembroke Pines General Hospital. During the surgery, doctors will use a machine that recycles and cleanses the patient's blood, reducing the need for donated blood.

The technique has been used at major hospitals for some time, but many smaller $1,000 persuades man to submit to blood test for dying brother I wasn't too proud of myself when I read in the paper what 1 had said. I sounded cold, but I guess all my repressed feelings came out. I don't wish my brother any harm. It's just that my family only wanted me when they needed something from me. Where were they when I needed them?" Randy Chapman in the next three to four months, his doctor said.

Without the transplant, he will die within, two years, Dr. Richard Fayssoux said. Other family members had been tested but were found to be unsuitable donors. The philanthropist, a born-again Christian, said he hoped his offer would not only save Steve's life, but would help Randy Chapman turn his life around. "I hope it works out well for both of them," he said.

Randy said he hoped the money would enable him to give direction to an aimless life. "I'm planning to do something constructive with my life, rather than destructive," he said. "I'm thinking about leaving Miami." Genetic marker tests will determine whether Randy is a suitable match for his brother, Steve, 38, who is dying from leukemia. If he proves to be a suitable match, Randy Chapman stands to gain another $2,000 for donating the precious marrow. "I'm glad he did it, and I hope it all works out after all this trouble," Steve Chapman said.

He is married and the father of two children. "I just wish he hadn't raised such a ruckus. There was no sense in doing that. He's a little rough around the edges, I guess." Steve Chapman was released from St. Vincent's Hospital in Indianapolis late last week after undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

His disease is in remission, but he must have the marrow transplant with- The Associated Press MIAMI A homeless man who refused to help his dying brother until he was offered $1,000 submitted to a blood test on Tuesday to determine his suitability as a bone-marrow donor, blood bank officials said. Randy Chapman, 32, who lives on the streets and earns money by submitting to medical experiments, had refused at first to help his brother in Indianapolis. "If he dies, he dies," Chapman had said. "He's about as much a brother to me as you are." But he changed his mind after an anonymous man from Indiana, who also suffers from a blood disease, offered Chapman $1,000 to take the blood test. they needed something from me.

Where were they when I needed them?" he said in an interview with The Miami News. He submitted to the blood test on Tuesday at the American Red Cross Blood Bank of South Florida, spokesman Chris Chidley said. "I wasn't too proud of myself when I read in the paper what I had said. I sounded cold, but I guess all my repressed feelings came out," Chapman said. He has not been in contact with his family in 14 years.
