Abstract Objective Wide interhospital variation exists in cardiac surgical postoperative transfusion rates. We aimed to compare transfusion rates at 2 hospitals and identify the institutional practice factors, unrelated to patient..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of a blood conservation program on trends in use of donor blood products and early clinical outcomes in infants undergoing open heart surgery. Methods..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Transfusion of packed red blood cell (RBCs) saves millions of lives yearly worldwide, making packed RBCs the most commonly administered drug in hospitals after vaccines. However, not all blood..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Clinical blood resources are scarce and autologous blood transfusion for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) withdrawal is less studied. Objectives To assess the use of staged autotransfusion during ECMO..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Introduction Hospital-based transfusion involves hundreds of daily medical decisions. Medical decision-making under uncertainty is susceptible to cognitive biases which can lead to systematic errors of reasoning and suboptimal patient..

Abstract Objectives The aims of this study were to assess the impact of the closed-loop sampling method on  and the need for  in pediatric patients following cardiac surgery. Design Retrospective observational study...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Study Design Retrospective study. Purpose To investigate the risk factors for allogeneic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. Overview of Literature Studies have not..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives To understand if red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are independently associated with a risk of mortality, prolonged , or infectious, cardiac, or renal morbid outcomes. Design A retrospective review...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To determine the number of homologous blood transfusions received by canine surgical patients after introducing a cell salvage device (CSD), trends in surgeries requiring blood transfusion, and the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Cardiac aortic surgery is an extremely complicated procedure that often requires large volume blood transfusions during the operation. Currently, it is not possible to accurately estimate the intraoperative blood..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract The threshold for packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion has been an important focus in the management of critically ill patients since the publication of randomized control trials (RCTs)..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract A guideline for predeposit autologous transfusion was published in 2007. Practices have changed in the intervening years, and in line with British Society for Haematology (BSH) guidelines processes, this guideline..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Postpartum anemia is a significant contributor to peripartum morbidity. The utilization of cell salvage in low risk cases and its impact on postpartum anemia has not been investigated...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the rate of transfusion for cardiovascular surgeries between 2010 and 2019 in Republic of Korea and the association between blood transfusion and postoperative mortality...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract In rural settings worldwide, many people live in effective blood deserts without access to any blood transfusion. The traditional system of blood banking is logistically complex and expensive for..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective To demonstrate the value of a viscoelastic-based intraoperative transfusion algorithm to reduce non-RBC product administration in adult cardiac surgical patients. Design A prospective observational study. Setting At a..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES To compare the independent and combined effects of anaemia and red blood cell transfusion on late survival after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 5243..

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 Purpose: This study aimed to assess the necessity of routine intraoperative cell salvage in liver transplantations. Methods: A total of 327 liver transplants performed between 2014 and 2016 was..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives The literature supports the assertion that patients undergoing cardiac surgery who receive perioperative packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusions have increased associated mortality. The aim of the current..

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 Sex-specific preoperative haemoglobin levels and the need for perioperative red cell transfusion in men and women are still debated. Cavalli and colleagues examined the appropriateness of World Health Organization..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine whether or not transfusion of fresh red blood cells (RBCs) reduced the incidence of new or progressive multiple organ dysfunction syndrome compared with..

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..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Few studies have considered outcomes among low body mass index (BMI) cohorts undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This study aims to investigate the effects of low body..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Concerns regarding the safety and availability of transfused donor blood have prompted research into a range of techniques to minimise allogeneic transfusion requirements. Cell salvage (CS) describes the..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Previous studies indicated higher long-term mortality after the transfusion of allogeneic red blood cells (RBC); newer recommendations emphasize lower transfusion rates. The consequences of the transfusion of RBCs..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives A conservative hemoglobin transfusion threshold is noninferior to a liberal threshold in cardiac surgery. However, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion remains common during cardiac surgery. The authors’ single-center,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract BACKGROUND:  We examined the relationship between blood transfusion and long-term adverse events to evaluate the clinical impact of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion on patients undergoing cardiac valve surgery...

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objectives Perioperative transfusion thresholds have garnered increasing scrutiny as restrictive strategies have been shown to be noninferior. The study authors used data from a statewide academic collaborative to test..
