Blood loss during prostatectomy.
PROSTATECTOMY is an operation in which all surgeons, however skilled, sometimes have difficulty in controlling haemorrhage. As the operation is usually done in elderly men who cannot withstand severe haemorrhage, it is important to estimate the blood loss and to replace it; alternatively the anaesthetist can take steps to diminish the bleeding by lowering the blood pressure. Figures for the mea...
متن کاملBlood loss during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy – is it significant or not?
INTRODUCTION The traditional assessment of blood loss during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) is based on the blood volume collected intraoperatively in the suction device bottles. While this method is not perfect, analysis of changes in blood cell count (BCC) resulting from LRP is advisable. MATERIAL AND METHODS 71 men were submitted to LRP due to prostate cancer in our institution o...
متن کاملAssessing the body mass index of patients might help to predict blood loss during radical retropubic prostatectomy in Korean men.
OBJECTIVE To examine the intraoperative blood loss and patient characteristics in patients treated with radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP), to determine the independent risk factors that predict increased blood loss and transfusion requirements in Korean men. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analysed the records of 264 consecutive patients who had RRP; all medical records were revi...
متن کاملBlood loss during repair of craniosynostosis.
Surgical repair of craniosynostosis carries a high risk with large blood losses. Over a 2-yr period, we have managed 115 patients undergoing craniosynostosis repair with peroperative haemodilution to achieve a final PCV of 0.28-0.35. Measurements of PCV allowed calculation of estimated blood losses and transfused volumes in terms of red blood cell mass. Total estimated red cell volume lost was ...
متن کاملBlood loss during repair of craniosynostosis
Editor—I write regarding two papers published some time ago, as an issue for clarification or correction. Both papers come from the same group in Paris and both use the same method for estimation of blood loss, detailed in the text and appendix of the two papers, respectively. 2 This method was based on and attributed to the method used by Kearney and colleagues. I believe there is an error in ...
