Utilization of Donor Whole Blood for Blood Transfusion in Deceased Donor Liver Transplantation

February 21, 2022 updated by: Vanderbilt University Medical Center
We will study 40 matched patients. 20 patients will receive leukoreduced whole blood from the solid organ donor. These 20 patients will be compared to 20 historical matched controls with regards to allogenic blood product usage and other physiologic markers
