Abstract Background and Objective Patients undergoing cardiac surgery consume more than 50% of blood transfusions, and such transfusions have been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Evidence in blood-saving techniques..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Objective As many as half of patients undergoing on-pump cardiac surgery require red blood cell transfusion, emphasizing the need for effective strategies that can reduce this need. We conducted..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion is a relatively safe and mainstay treatment commonly used in cardiac surgical patients. However, there is limited evidence on clinical effects of..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are frequent in patients after cardiac surgery. This study assessed whether a bundle of care including pre-operative and post-operative administration of  (EPO) with intravenous..

Abstract Background In on-pump cardiac surgery, the albumin priming strategy could maintain colloid osmotic pressure better than crystalloid solutions and reduce excessive perioperative fluid balance. However, a high-quality meta-analysis is..

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..

Abstract Background The decision to perform transfusion is common but varies among centers and surgeons. This study looked at variables associated with red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in a statewide..

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 Objective Strategies for red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery have been traditionally anchored to hemoglobin (Hb) targets. A more physiologic approach would consider markers of..
