Brief summary
Investigators aimed to compare the effect on different indications (blood volume loss based VS hemoglobin concentration based ) based blood transfusion practices in patients undergoing major oncological surgery for pelvic or spinal tumor and investigate their postoperative complications.
Detailed description
260 patients underwent major oncological surgery for open pelvic or spinal tumor resection were included in this study. We looked at white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, neutrophil ratio, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and IL-6 levels 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days after surgery The main question it sought to answer was whether there was a difference in postoperative complications 30 days after surgery between patients who received blood transfusions based on volume loss and those who received blood transfusions based on hemoglobin concentration during surgery.
Interventions
Blood transfusion is indicated based on the estimated intraoperative blood loss. When intraoperative blood loss exceeds 400ml, blood transfusion begin. At the end of the operation, we ensure that the volume of blood transfusion is no greater than the anticipated blood loss.
Blood transfusion is indicated based on the intraoperative hemoglobin concentration. Intraoperative blood transfusion begins when hemoglobin concentration is blow 70g/L. Intraoperative blood transfusion stops when hemoglobin concentration reaches 80g/L
