Proposition of a simple binary grading of estimated blood loss during colon surgery

ConclusionAnaesthesiologist and surgeon ’s EBL correlated with ΔHb. Simple grading of blood loss as “usual” and “more than usual” predicted severe complications and higher mortality rates. This simple binary grading of blood loss in colon surgery could be an alternative to the estimation of blood loss in ml as it is easy to app ly but needs to be validated externally.
