Abstract Patient blood management (PBM) has been proposed as a standard of care in modern . PBM-related interventions usually are implemented as bundles, but randomized controlled trials on the implementation of..

Abstract Background Approximately 20% to 30% of patients awaiting cardiac surgery are anemic. Anemia increases the likelihood of requiring a red cell transfusion and is associated with increased complications, intensive care,..

Abstract Background: Due to the substantial improvement in survival among pediatric patients undergoing congenital heart surgery, reducing early and long-term morbidity is becoming the major focus of care. Blood transfusion is..

Abstract Background Better understanding of blood usage rates could identify trends in transfusion practices over time and inform more efficient management. Methods Inpatient admissions from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization..

Abstract Background Recent guidelines on transfusion in cardiac surgery suggest that hemoglobin might not be the only criterion to trigger transfusion. Central venous oxygen saturation (Svo2), which is related to..

Abstract Perioperative anemia is an important risk factor for cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). Nonetheless, the severity of the anemia and the time in the perioperative period in which..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Blood transfusion is used to treat acute anemia with the goal of increasing blood oxygen-carrying capacity as determined by hematocrit (Hct) and oxygen delivery (DO2). However, increasing Hct..

Abstract The importance and variability of pre‐operative anaemia in cardiac surgical patients across the UK is not known, and there is debate about its association with patient outcomes. The Association..

Abstract Anemia is an common condition in patients undergoing cardiac surgery, and it is often present in one quarter to half of patients at admission. Several studies have indicated that..

Abstract Background Reducing blood product utilization after cardiac surgery has become a focus of  as studies have suggested improved outcomes. The relative impact of preoperative anemia versus packed red blood cells..

Abstract Introduction Anemia and blood transfusion are risk factors for morbidity/mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The objective of this study is to analyze the association..

Abstract Objective Preoperative anemia management reduces red blood cell (RBC) transfusion and adverse outcomes, but how best to optimize the patient’s hemoglobin (Hgb) before cardiac surgery remains unclear. The authors..
