Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of transfusions, including red blood cells (RBC), platelets, and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) during and after coronary artery..

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 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..

Abstract The temporal trends in haematological parameters and their associations with blood product transfusion requirements in patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are poorly understood. We performed a retrospective..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often receive repeated red blood cell (RBC) transfusions. This study aims to quantify and characterize causes of RBC loss on ECMO...

Abstract Background The optimal haemoglobin threshold for use of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in anaemic patients remains an active field of research. Blood is a scarce resource, and in some countries,..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background The benefit of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in anemic critically-ill patients with cardiovascular disease is uncertain, as is the optimal threshold at which RBC transfusion should be..
