Irrationality of Allogeneic Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Intraoperative Cell Salvage Patients: a Retrospective Analysis

ConclusionsThe irrationality of allogeneic RBC transfusion existed in ICS patients, which may be associated with the preoperative hemoglobin level and the ratio of blood loss to EBV. Determining the HGB levels before transfusion is required to avoid unnecessary blood administration. Doctors should keep their knowledge in blood management updated and improve their awareness of rational transfusion for a better patients care.
