Blood loss during three column osteotomies: influence on outcomes and mitigation strategies
Increased intraoperative blood loss was associated with longer ICU stays. Red blood cell transfusions were also associated with increased hospital and ICU LOS. No variables of interest related to intraoperative blood loss or blood transfusion were associated with readmission or reoperation at any time point. These findings highlight the need for continued focus on surgical techniques and adjuncts that can minimize blood loss and transfusion requirements.
