| Measure | Time frame |

| Estimation of total blood loss at surgery;Estimation of total blood loss at surgery- Visual and gravimetric method of estimating blood loss will be used to estimate the blood loss during the surgery. An electronic weighing machine that could weigh between 0.1g to 500g will be used to measure the baseline weight of the dry abdominal packs and gauze. The weight of the blood soaked abdominal pack and gauzes will be measured with an electronic weighing machine after the surgery. The difference between the weight of the dry abdominal pack and gauze from the weight of the soaked abdominal pack and gauze in gram is equivalent to the weight of the blood loss in gram. I gram difference in the weight is equal to I milliliter of blood. The total blood loss will be calculated by adding the volume of blood in the calibrated measuring jar and on the operating drapes with the equivalent milliliter of the weighed materials gotten from the gravimetric method. ;Estimation of total blood loss at surgery;estimation of total blood loss intraoperativel | — |
