Liberal or Restrictive Transfusion after Cardiac Surgery.
BACKGROUND Whether a restrictive threshold for hemoglobin level in red-cell transfusions, as compared with a liberal threshold, reduces postoperative morbidity and health care costs after cardiac surgery is uncertain. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, parallel-group trial in which patients older than 16 years of age who were undergoing nonemergency cardiac surgery were recruited from 17 cen...
متن کاملPost-sternotomy mediastinitis after cardiac surgery
Post-sternotomy mediastinitis (PSM) is a rare but devastating complication, which may occur after cardiac surgery, and which increases mortality and morbidity tremendously. This study showed a statistically significant increased in-hospital mortality of patients with deep sternal wound infection (DSWI) compared with patients without DSWI (8.1% versus 2.7%, respectively) (p=0.03). For long-term ...
متن کاملTransfusion requirements after cardiac surgery: the TRACS randomized controlled trial.
CONTEXT Perioperative red blood cell transfusion is commonly used to address anemia, an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality after cardiac operations; however, evidence regarding optimal blood transfusion practice in patients undergoing cardiac surgery is lacking. OBJECTIVE To define whether a restrictive perioperative red blood cell transfusion strategy is as safe as a liberal...
متن کاملPost-transfusion hepatitis: impact of non-A, non-B hepatitis surrogate tests. Canadian Post-Transfusion Hepatitis Prevention Study Group.
Canada has not introduced the non-A, non-B (NANB) surrogate marker tests (antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen and alanine aminotransferase) to screen donated blood. We evaluated the effect of NANB surrogate markers in reducing post-transfusion hepatitis in a prospective randomised intervention study. From 1988 to 1992, 4588 subjects were enrolled into two study groups that received allogenei...
متن کاملBlood Transfusion in ICU after Cardiac Surgery: A Lower Hemoglobin Level is Tolerated Liberal Versus Conservative Packed RBCs Transfusion after Open Heart Cardiac Surgery
Background: In patients undergoing cardiac surgery, currently RBC transfusion has been associated with adverse outcome. Evidence regarding optimal blood transfusion practice in those patients is lacking. Objectives: To challenge the hemoglobin transfusion trigger of <9gm/dl compared to a trigger level of 7gm/dl. Design: A prospective randomized controlled Study. Setting: 19 beds post cardiac su...
