Blood Transfusion (Blood Transfusions)

03/01/2015 - "Group I required a longer operative time than Group II. Blood transfusion during the operation was unnecessary due to the short amount of time available to control arterial bleeding in the prostatic fossa leading to a marked decrease in perioperative bleeding in Group II. Postoperative voiding function improved significantly in both groups. "
11/01/2016 - "Several studies have shown a significant reduction in intraoperative bleeding during spine surgery and in the requirement for blood transfusion."
05/18/2023 - "The application of autologous platelet-rich plasma in a long-time cardiopulmonary bypass aortic root reconstruction can reduce the amount of allogeneic blood transfusion and the occurrence of bleeding events, which is beneficial for blood protection."
03/13/2023 - "Laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy is an effective management modality for GAVE, with dramatic improvement and good outcomes in terms of bleeding, blood transfusion requirements, and nutritional status."
03/08/2022 - "However, UFH piglets had increased surgical site bleeding and required significantly greater blood transfusion volumes than piglets anticoagulated with DTRI-178. "

01/01/2020 - "He responded to the C.E.R.A., and his anemia dramatically improved, eliminating the need for blood transfusions. "
01/01/2013 - "Excessive blood loss and anemia still complicate most pregnancies in our practice and the mean decision-transfusion interval is unacceptably long with debilitating maternal morbidity and mortality that can be improved with safe and effective blood transfusion with minimal or no risk."
04/01/1999 - "Much of the increase in the patient's Hct vanishes at higher blood losses, and this therapy is most effective with blood loss of <4000 mL. EPO therapy alone may be most effectively used in patients with mild anemia who are undergoing routine surgical procedures that commonly require blood transfusion."
02/01/2022 - "Seventeen patients had a marked improvement in anemia after chemotherapy, 14 patients acquired blood transfusion independence, and the Hb of 3 patients increased to normal levels. "
10/01/2016 - "Patients were followed up every 2 months for up to 1 year; the end point was a complete response with improved anemia and blood transfusion requirement which was achieved after one session in 89 patients (75.4 %), two sessions in 24 patients (20.3 %) and three sessions in five patients (4.3 %). "

01/01/2021 - "Advances in laboratory testing, pathogen reduction and donor qualification have dramatically reduced the risk of acquiring an infection from a blood transfusion. "
11/01/1990 - "Successful use of exchange blood transfusion as a therapeutic adjunct for this infection was first reported in 1974, although the efficacy of this procedure has not been established by randomized, controlled trials. "
02/17/1998 - "In cardiac surgery patients, especially when more than three blood transfusions are required, leukocyte depletion by filtration results in a significant reduction of the postoperative mortality that can only partially be explained by the higher incidence of postoperative infections in the PC group."
09/01/1990 - "Modifications in donor screening and the introduction of laboratory testing of donated blood for anti-HIV-1 and anti-HTLV-I have resulted in a significant reduction in the risks of retroviral infections from blood transfusion. "
06/01/2020 - "Cell salvage was directly associated with higher infection rates, but this direct effect was almost completely eliminated by its indirect protective effect through reduced allogeneic blood transfusion."

03/01/2016 - "The reporting of most risk factors was inadequate; also there is marked improvement in reporting in the prospective cases in preoperative CEA, intra operative blood transfusion and tumor perforation, quality of TME, tumor grade and non-nodal T.Ds (P-value <0.0001). "
02/01/2011 - "Over the years, we expanded the age limit for treatment (P = .03), reduced intensive care unit stays (P = .04), reduced amount of blood transfusion (P = .03), treated patients with a higher peritoneal cancer index (P < .001), achieved higher rates of complete cytoreduction (P = .003), increased use of PIC (P < .001), and improved complication rate (P = .02) and mortality rate (P = .01). "
01/01/2022 - "Similarly, in a systematic review of the literature describing TXA use in intracranial tumor resection, this study revealed a statistically significant reduction in the need for intraoperative blood transfusion in patients administered TXA. "
01/01/2019 - "In gynecologic oncology there are already many examples of successful quality improvement initiatives that have resulted in improved patient care, including the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery programs, reduction in blood transfusion, and increases in guideline adherent cancer care. "
01/01/2004 - "Anaemia and quality of life were also improved, and blood transfusion requirements were reduced to a significantly greater extent than placebo or no treatment (with supportive blood transfusion) in patients with haematological malignancies. "

05/01/2005 - "While other techniques are being developed, we think that autologous blood collection and blood reinfusion from wound drainage are effective in reducing the need for homologous blood transfusion; this is important because of the potential risk of reactions, disease transmission and limited blood bank resources."
10/12/2017 - "The study group achieved statistically significantly improved survival and lower mean blood transfusion volume and mortality rate, although they were more severe in the trauma score. "
11/08/2023 - "When controlling for key covariates, pre-hospital trauma team activation did not have a significant effect on 24-h mortality, but did result in a significant reduction in time to emergency procedure, computed tomography, and blood transfusion, as well as emergency department length of stay. "
01/01/2020 - "Apart from post operative wound complications and blood transfusion reactions, the patient had a good recovery and improved quality of life. "
01/20/2017 - "To evaluate the efficacy of high (≥1:2) and low (<1:2) plasma: red blood cell (RBC) ratio resuscitation in patients with severe trauma requiring massive blood transfusion. "
