Transfusion requirements in 811 patients during and after cardiac surgery: a prospective observational study.
To identify patients at risk for intra- and postoperative blood product transfusion in a mixed adult cardiac surgical patient population. ⋯ The identification of high-risk patients is necessary to optimize the perioperative management of bleeding complications. Because of the high variability in transfusion requirements, a specifically tailored patient intervention based on the individual's risk profile appears more likely to improve patient outcome compared with general interventions given to the entire patient group.
