increasing evidence suggests that a threshold of 7 g/dL is reasonably safe. However, in the post-CPB period, patients with incompleterevascularizationor with poor target vessels may require a higher transfusion threshold. As a result,blood transfusionsshould be individualized for each patient but sho...
However, transfusion of red blood cells (RBC) may cause adverse effects and increase cost. The authors hypothesized that the restrictive hemoglobin threshold (Hb of 80 g/L) may aggravate bleeding more than the higher Hb threshold (Hb 100 g/L).Laine, AnttiNiemi, TomiSchramko, Alexey...
Objective: To evaluate the hemoglobin threshold for red cell transfusion in children admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods: Retrospective chart review study. Tertiary care PICU. Critically ill pediatric patients requiring blood transfusion. No intervention. Results: We analyzed the...
DRUG INTERACTIONS. ADLYXIN delays gastric emptying which may impact absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. Oral medications that are particularly dependent onthreshold concentrations for efficacy, such as antibiotics, or medications for which a delay in effect isundesirable, such asacetamin...
Red, green, and blue (RGB) values are extracted for each pixel, and the channel is divided into the region of red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma based on the specific threshold of red color. In order to measure the PFHb level, the second ROI (2nd ROI) with the size of (20 ×...
Extracellular hemoglobin (Hb) has been recognized as a disease trigger in hemolytic conditions such as sickle cell disease, malaria, and blood transfusion. In vivo, many of the adverse effects of free Hb can be attenuated by the Hb scavenger acute-phase protein haptoglobin (Hp). The primary ph...
RBC transfusions were administered in otherwise healthy patients below an Hb threshold of 6.9 g/dL. Hb and RC were analyzed for a maximum of 30 days posttrauma and related in multivariate analysis to age, sex, and comorbidity. RESULTS: Two hundred and forty-one patients (age 52 years +/-...
Blood loss can reach critical values, especially in children, who might require blood transfusions at low volumes. In addition, blood transfusions result in immunological responses and should be avoided. The treatment of ID/IDA with iron is a goal directed, straight forward therapy. Overall, IDA...
The additional placental blood flow by DCC for 30 to 120 s appears to be associated with better circulatory stability, a lower rate of respiratory distress syndrome, fewer blood transfusions, and a lower risk of IVH and NEC [12]. Thus, the Hb threshold from the cord blood could be a ...
