Intraoperative transfusion threshold and tissue oxygenation: a randomised trial
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Transfusion with allogeneic red blood cells (RBCs) may be needed to maintain oxygen delivery during major surgery, but the appropriate haemoglobin (Hb) concentration threshold has not been well established. We hypothesised that a higher level of Hb would be associated with improved subcutaneous oxygen tension during major spinal surgery.
