Postoperative Infection Rate Following Cardiac Surgery With Allogeneic vs Other Blood Management Techniques
Infection rates associated with allogeneic blood transfusion versus other blood management techniques were prospectively compared in elective cardiac surgery patients (anticipated blood loss > 1000 mL).
Blood Management and Infections in Cardiovascular and Orthopedic Surgery
Numerous risks are associated with allogeneic blood transfusions. Various blood management techniques have evolved which minimize or eliminate the use of allogeneic blood. This study compared infection rates…
