Abstract Aim Erythrocytes from patients with thalassemia might be susceptible to hemolysis during recycling and washing. Therefore, autologous erythrocyte transfusion using erythrocytes from parturient women with thalassemia has been suggested..

Abstract Objectives To assess whether systematic perioperative correction of anemia and/or iron deficiency (ID) improves hemoglobin (Hb) levels and reduces transfusion requirements in elective cardiac surgery. Design Post hoc analysis..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Up to half of patients with infective endocarditis (IE) require cardiac surgery. Although anaemia is common, its precise prevalence, transfusion practices and impact on outcomes in surgically treated IE..

Abstract Importance  Postoperative red blood cell transfusion guidelines recommend transfusion for hemoglobin levels less than 7 g/dL. However, the safety of this strategy in patients at high risk of cardiac events..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Postoperative anemia is a common complication after cardiac surgery, often persisting for months and substantially affecting patient recovery. Despite its prevalence, optimal treatment strategies are lacking. We aimed..

Abstract Background This study characterized the association of preoperative anemia and intraoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on outcomes of elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods Data from 53,856..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Anemia, characterized by low hemoglobin levels, is a global public health concern. Anemia is an independent factor worsening outcomes in various patient groups. Blood transfusion has been the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Preoperative anemia is associated with adverse outcomes in cardiac surgery, yet it remains unclear what proportion of this association is mediated through red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. METHODS: ..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Anemia and red blood cell transfusion are associated with adverse outcomes. Large randomized trials have demonstrated that restrictive transfusion strategies can safely reduce patient exposure to transfusion, forming a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Anemia reduces the blood’s ability to carry and deliver oxygen. Following cardiac surgery, anemia is very common and affects up to 90% of patients. Nevertheless, there is a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose: We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effects of anemia and anemia severity on patient outcomes in cardiac surgery and determine whether preoperative treatments..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Anemia and transfusion are common in cardiac surgery patients, and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Multiple perioperative interventions have been described to reduce blood transfusion, but..

Abstract Biological evidence supports plasma methemoglobin as a biomarker for anemia-induced tissue hypoxia. In this translational planned substudy of the multinational randomized controlled transfusion thresholds in cardiac surgery (TRICS-III) trial,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Anaemia and blood transfusion are two independent contributing factors to perioperative morbidity in cardiac surgery. While preoperative treatment of anaemia has been shown to improve outcomes, in real..

Abstract Objective To determine the effect of severe acute blood loss anemia (ABLA) on postoperative outcomes in Jehovah's Witness (JW) patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Design This was a  of adult JW..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Purpose Anemia and red cell transfusion contribute to morbidity and mortality of surgery. The concept of patient blood management to mitigate preoperative anemia, optimize coagulation, conserve red cells intraoperatively..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patient Blood Management (PBM) is a patient-centered, systemic and evidence-based approach. Its target is to manage and to preserve the patient’s own blood. The aim of PBM is to..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Anemia is a risk factor for acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Whether red blood cell (RBC) transfusion-enhanced hemoglobin levels contribute to low AKI rates remains unclear...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Preoperative anemia is common in patients presenting for cardiac surgery, with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 4, and has been associated with worse outcomes including increased risk of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Preoperative anemia is frequent in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and is associated with increased postoperative complications.  Design A retrospective observational cohort study. Setting A tertiary-care medical center from..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract About 15 years ago, Patient Blood Management (PBM) emerged as a new paradigm in perioperative medicine and rapidly found support of all major medical societies and government bodies. Blood..

Abstract Objectives:  We investigated whether routine perioperative intravenous iron replenishment reduces the requirement for packed erythrocytes (pRBC) transfusion. Summary of Background Data:  Patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery are at high risk..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Over the last decade, preoperative anemia has become recognized as a clinical condition in need of management. Although the etiology of preoperative anemia can be multifactorial, two thirds..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate whether there is a relationship between preoperative anemia and domain-specific cognitive performance in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Design Retrospective analysis of data collected from a randomized..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives The authors aimed to assess whether untreated preoperative anemia was associated with increased risk for adverse outcomes after the arterial switch operation in neonates with dextro-transposition of the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Patients with inherited anemia and hemoglobinopathies (such as sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia) are treated with red blood cell (RBC) transfusions to alleviate their symptoms. Some of these patients..

Perfusfind S.L.

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..
