Introduction: Based on US-FDA guidelines to create tools for development and evaluation of medical devices in non-clinical and clinical studies, the Validated Intraoperative Bleeding (VIBe) Scale was developed. The current investigation expands upon the earlier validation study with multi-specialty surgeons to further corroborate these findings and establish feasibility to implement VIBe SCALE into clinical practice and surveys degree of anticipated bleeding across common procedures in multiple surgical disciplines.
Methods: Following online didactic VIBe SCALE training, participating surgeons graded bleeding in ten porcine model videos corresponding to the original validation study.
Objective: To develop a standardized approach to the implementation and performance of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) in order to reduce the incidence of bleeding and allogeneic blood transfusion in high-risk surgical bleeding-related cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).
Design: A 2-round modified RAND-Delphi consensus process.
Participants: Seven physicians from multiple geographic locations and clinical disciplines including anesthesiology and cardiac surgery and 1 cardiac surgery perfusionist participated in the survey.
