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,..

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...

Abstract OBJECTIVES Obesity is associated with increased burden of cardiovascular risk factors, morbidity and mortality. However, several studies have counterintuitively shown better outcome after cardiac surgery in obese than in..

Abstract Objective Packed  during  is known to be associated with . However, the association of the timing between transfusions in relation to discharge and 30-day postoperative outcomes has not been studied. The study..

Abstract Congenital heart defect (CHD) surgeries are performed with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and are complicated by several factors that affect the child’s brain. However, to date, the number of studies..

Abstract Introduction The risk, cost, and adverse outcomes associated with packed red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in patients with cardiopulmonary failure requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have raised concerns regarding..

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..

Abstract Objective: We determined whether intraoperative packed red blood cell transfusion (PRBC) was associated with a higher incidence of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolic (HA-VTE) complications and adverse outcomes after isolated coronary artery..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is the most common cardiac surgical procedure in the world and up to one-third of patients are transfused red blood cells (RBCs). RBC..

Abstract Importance  Tranexamic acid is recommended for reducing blood loss and transfusion in cardiac surgery. However, it remains unknown whether a high dose of tranexamic acid provides better blood-sparing effect than..

Abstract Background Anaemia is common prior to cardiac surgery and contributes to perioperative morbidity. Iron deficiency is the main cause of anaemia but its impact remains controversial in the surgical..

Abstract Purpose: We describe an approach for anticoagulation and transfusions in veno-venous–extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO), evaluating factors associated with higher transfusion requirements, and their impact on mortality. Methods: Observational study..

Abstract BACKGROUND:  Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is common during infant cardiac surgery. A previous report of pediatric heart transplant recipients showed that increased RBC transfusion volume was independently associated..
