Acute normovolemic haemodilution to reduce allogeneic red blood cell transfusion in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. An observational study
Our study highlights the varying RBC transfusion rates in CABG patients, with lower intraoperative haemoglobin levels and prolonged surgical duration significantly increasing transfusion needs. These findings emphasise the importance of optimising intraoperative management to minimise transfusions and improve patient outcomes.
