October 21, 2011 updated by: Roberto Rocha e Silva, Hospital Pitangueiras

Observational Study of Hemoderivative Imputable Complications in Initial Uncomplicated Heart Surgery

Observational Study of Hemoderivative Transfusion Imputable Complications in Initial Uncomplicated Heart Surgery. Inclusion criteria are patients who discontinued the mechanical ventilation up to 6 hours after exiting operation room and who discontinued vasoactive drugs up to the beginning of the second postoperative day.

Blood transfusion might be only a marker of the patient severity.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Criteria for blood transfusion during extra corporeal circulation (if used) is volume expansion need leading to a predictable hematocrit lower than 25%.

Criteria for blood transfusion after extra corporeal circulation or in the postoperative period is a hematocrit below 30% with signs of low cardiac output due to hypovolemia.
