Association Between Hospital Intraoperative Blood Transfusion Practices for Surgical Blood Loss and Hospital Surgical Mortality Rates

Annals of Surgery, 2012
Blood loss during surgery is an important operative complication in patients undergoing major noncardiac surgery and may increase postoperative morbidity and mortality. Variations in the delivery of operative blood transfusions to treat blood loss depend not only on the patient and surgery characteristics but also on the hospital transfusion practices,

Blood loss in surgical oncology: Neglected quality indicator?

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2009
AbstractQuality indicators can be defined as “specific and measurable elements of practice that can be used to assess the quality of care”. Surgical blood loss is one of the most significant perioperative predictors of patient outcome. Blood loss is a modifiable quality indicator for oncologic cancer surgery.

Surgical Blood Loss in Abdominal Hysterectomy

Gynecologic Oncology, 2001
The aim of this study was to evaluate additional error in estimating red cell loss during abdominal hysterectomy.Eighty patients admitted consecutively for abdominal hysterectomy were recruited. The surgeries were done after heparinizing the suction tubing system to prevent clotting and reducing the vacuum pressure to reduce red cell lysis.

Local Tranexamic Acid Reduces Surgical Blood Loss

Wounds : a compendium of clinical research and practice, 2022
Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a synthetic lysine analog that reduces perioperative blood loss by blocking lysine-binding sites on plasminogen molecules. It has been reported to be effective in limiting blood loss and transfusion needs in various orthopedic surgeries and for pediatric patients at high risk of blood loss.1,2 Randomized controlled trials (RCTs)

The Role of Antifibrinolytics in Reducing Blood Loss During Craniofacial or Orthognathic Surgical Procedures: A Meta-Analysis.

Journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery, 2019
PURPOSE Use of antifibrinolytic drugs in craniofacial and orthognathic surgery seems quite promising and has strong advocates. However, supporting evidence is controversial and limited by a small sample of individual studies.

Measurement of blood loss during surgical operations

The American Journal of Surgery, 1951
T HE maintenance of the fluid balance of surgica1 patients is one of the most important responsibilities of the modern surgica1 team, and the proper repIacement of bIood is perhaps one of the most important phases of this maintenance. This is true not only because it is an excellent prophyIactic measure against shock but also because it aids in ...

BLOOD DETERMINATION AND ESTIMATION OF BLOOD LOSS DURING SURGICAL OPERATIONS

Archives of Surgery, 1948
THE CONDITION of the surgical patient postoperatively depends on several factors, among which are surgical trauma, length of operation, type of anesthesia and loss of blood. The more closely each of these factors can be maintained to normal, the more rapid will be the patient's recovery.

BLOOD LOSS IN SURGICAL OPERATIONS

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1944
The amount of blood lost during surgical operations of various types has been measured and reported by a number of observers. The facts disclosed by these observations have not been generally recognized, nor has their practical importance been sufficiently emphasized.

Is postoperative blood loss, loss of blood? A pilot study in cardiac surgical patients

Perfusion, 2001
The effect of estimating the blood balance using changes in erythrocyte volumes (EVs) instead of the routinely used changes in haematocrit values was studied in 20 patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. We determined the mean haematocrit of the effluent from the postoperative thoracic drainage system at various time intervals. These data were used to
