چکیده
Method From 1/1/2012 through 12/31/2014, 1189 patients underwent isolated coronary artery bypass (IsoCAB, N = 252), isolated valve (IsoValve, N = 190), CAB+Valve (n = 114), CAB+Other (N = 304), Valve+Other (N = 178), or other (151) surgeries. Overall 802 (67.5%) were male with a mean age of 70 ± 12 years. A protocol focusing on reducing blood use was initiated on 11/1/2013. We divided the cohort into two eras, pre-protocol (PreP, n = 736) and post-protocol (PostP, n = 453), to assess the impact of the protocol on transfusion rates in each surgical category.
