blood is a liquid tissue in which dissolved with abundant chemical factors and millions of different cells the reduction of unwanted side effects, especially diseases that emerge through blood such as hiv and hepatitis, has a significant role for modern medicine of transfusion and transplantation. the issues and costs of human blood collection and storage, direct this procedure towards the use ...

This report describes two newborns with massive Cephalhematoma leading to marked blood loss and severe anemia. The hematocrits were 19% and 13% respectively. The babies were managed with blood transfusion, phototherapy, antibiotics and dexamethasone.

The variations in the coagulation indices of patients receiving massive blood transfusion were investigated across 20 large‑scale general hospitals in China. The data of 1,601 surgical inpatients receiving massive transfusion were retrospectively collected and the trends in the platelet counts and coagulation indices prior to and at 16 different time points during packed red blood cell (pRBC; a...

Compartment syndrome is a serious condition characterized by raised intracompartmental pressure, which develops following trauma. Well leg compartment syndrome (WLCS) is a term reserved for compartment syndrome in a nontraumatic setting, usually resulting from prolonged lithotomy position during surgery. In literature, 8 cases have been reported regarding well leg compartment syndrome in a supi...

OBJECTIVE To examine the hypothesis that the futility of short-term care for trauma patients requiring emergency operation can be determined based on the number of units of blood transfused and associated risk factors. DESIGN A 4-year retrospective review of a cohort of critically injured patients who underwent an emergency operation. SETTING A large-volume, academic level I, urban trauma c...

BACKGROUND Plasma transfusion is increasingly performed without clear consensus on indications. We systematically reviewed the literature to summarize the available evidence regarding the benefits and harms of plasma transfusion in common clinical settings. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We searched electronic databases from inception through August 2009. Eligible studies enrolled adult patients tr...

background:proximal femoral shaft fractures are commonly associated with marked blood loss which can lead topostoperative acute anemia and some other complications.tranexamic acid (ta) is an antifibrinolytic medication that reduces intra-and postoperative blood loss and transfusionrequirements during some elective surgeries (1-3).the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous tr...

INTRODUCTION Massive hemorrhage remains a major cause of potentially preventable deaths. Better control of bleeding could improve survival rates by 10%-20%. Transfusion intervention concepts have been formulated in order to minimize acute traumatic coagulopathy. These interventions still have not been standardized and vary among medical centers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on a literature sea...
