Risk factors for intraoperative massive transfusion in pediatric liver transplantation: a multivariate analysis
Background: Pediatric liver transplantation (LT) is strongly associated with increased intraoperative blood transfusion requirement and postoperative morbidity and mortality. In the present study, we aimed to assess the risk factors associated with massive transfusion in pediatric LT, and examined the effect of massive transfusion on the postoperative outcomes. Methods: We enrolled pediatric pa...
متن کاملRisk factors and outcomes of massive red blood cell transfusion following living donor liver transplantation.
OBJECTIVES To identify the factors influencing blood loss and secondary blood transfusion and to investigate the outcomes of patients who underwent a massive blood transfusion (MBT) following living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). METHODS Patients who underwent primary adult-to-adult right hepatic lobe LDLT were included in the study, and were divided into the MBT group [≥6 red blood cell...
متن کاملBlood transfusion in liver transplantation.
Liver transplantation is a relatively new procedure in which unusually large quantities of blood are used. Blood use in 68 adult and 49 pediatric liver transplants was reviewed. The median (range) intraoperative red cell use for adults and children was 28.5 (3-251) and 11 (2-55), respectively. Blood use closely correlated with the patient's primary diagnosis. Adult patients with primary biliary...
متن کاملIdentifying risk for massive transfusion in the relatively normotensive patient: utility of the prehospital shock index.
BACKGROUND In the prehospital environment, the failure of medical providers to recognize latent physiologic derangement in patients with compensated shock may risk undertriage. We hypothesized that the shock index (SI; heart rate divided by systolic blood pressure [SBP]), when used in the prehospital setting, could facilitate the identification of such patients. The objective of this study was ...
متن کاملBlood transfusion practices in liver transplantation
Blood loss and blood transfusion have been inherently associated with liver transplantation. Bleeding has been attributed to the various factors which are associated with chronic liver dysfunction. Various surgical and anaesthetic strategies have been developed over the years to reduce bleeding and also to optimise the usage of various blood and blood products perioperatively. The present day s...
