Dose-dependent influence of red blood cell transfusion volume on adverse outcomes in cardiac surgery
Abstract Introduction Red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is associated with adverse outcomes, but there are few studies on the RBC volume. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between intraoperative..
