Tóm tắt

 INTRODUCTION: Cardiac surgery is fraught with increased consumption of blood and blood products. Various strategies for blood conservation have been described. Our aim was to study the impact of a structured blood conservation protocol (BCP) on the utilization of blood and patient outcome. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data comparing adult patients undergoing open heart surgery with BCP with those undergoing surgery without BCP. The primary objective was to compare the amount of blood utilized and the hematocrit at discharge. The secondary objective was to compare the parameters of patient outcomes. The level of significance was set at 0.05. RESULTS: The proportion of patients requiring transfusion (19.1% [9/47] vs 58.9% [33/56]
  CONCLUSION: Implementing a structured blood conservation protocol in patients undergoing open heart surgery significantly reduces the need for blood transfusion. It also has a promising impact on patient recovery after surgery and significant positive cost implications.
