Patient blood management in elective bypass cardiac surgery: A 2-step single-centre interventional trial to analyse the impact of an educational programme and erythropoiesis stimulation on red blood cell transfusion

摘要

Anaemia and iron deficiency are frequent in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. Perioperative patient blood management (PBM) is widely recommended in current practice guidelines. The aim of this protocol is to analyse the effect of a global perioperative PBM programme on the red blood cell (RBC) transfusion ratio, morbidities and rehabilitation score in elective cardiac surgery.
