Effect of anaemia and cardiovascular disease on surgical mortality and morbidity

Universal tranexamic acid therapy to minimize transfusion for major joint arthroplasty: a retrospective analysis of protocol implementation

“…[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] Our data confirm that patients in the Pre-Protocol group with Fig. 3 The impact of protocol implementation in anemic (Hb \ 120 gÁL -1 ) and non-anemic patients (Hb [ 120 gÁL -1 ) is demonstrated.…”

Impact of Acute Blood Loss Anemia and Red Blood Cell Transfusion on Mortality after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

“…This is the level at which operative mortality has been shown to increase in cardiac patients who decline RBC transfusion. 10 A total of 567 patients with HCT loss greater than 10% were identified. Of these, 146 patients received RBC transfusions.…”

Reassessing the risk of hemodilutional anemia: Some new pieces to an old puzzle

“…Despite these adaptations, increasing clinical evidence supports a strong association between anemia, increased organ injury, and mortality. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] With the advent of modern medical intervention, the initial treatment of acute blood loss is fluid resuscitation with crystalloid and/or colloid. This treatment has led to an increased incidence of normovolemic hemodilution (hemodilution) in many clinical settings, including the operating room and intensive care unit.…”
