Randomized Trial of a Liberal Versus a Restrictive Transfusion Strategy in Elderly Cardiac Surgery Patients
August 25, 2017 updated by: Lawson Health Research Institute
Evaluation of a Liberal Versus Restrictive Blood Transfusion Strategy in Elderly Patients Following Coronary Bypass or Aortic Valve Surgery
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a less restrictive strategy of red blood cell transfusion in elderly patients following coronary bypass surgery results in enhanced postoperative recovery as determined by quality of life assessment, exercise tolerance and clinical outcomes.
Two postoperative transfusion strategies:
- Liberal - transfused when Hgb is <100g/L
- Restrictive - transfused when Hgb is <70g/L
