Intraoperative Plasma Transfusion Volumes and Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Assess outcomes after intraoperative plasma transfusion in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Design

Retrospective study of adult cardiac surgical between 2011 and 2015. Relationships between plasma transfusion volume, coagulation test values, and a primary outcome of early postoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion were assessed via multivariable regression analyses. Secondary outcomes included hospital mortality, intensive care unit and hospital-free days, intraoperative RBCs, estimated blood loss, and reoperation for bleeding.

Setting

Academic tertiary referral center.

Participants

A total of 1,794 patients received intraoperative plasma transfusions during the study period.

Interventions

None.

Measurements and main results
