Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze blood transfusion patterns in major cardiac surgeries to enhance the rational use of blood, focusing on patients from a national multicenter survey in China (2015-2016).
- - Among heart valve surgery patients, autologous blood transfusion was most common (58.84%), while vascular surgery patients had the highest volume of this type (722 ml) and the greatest allogeneic blood transfusion rate (53.28%).
- - Findings revealed significant variations in blood transfusion practices depending on the type of surgery, perioperative stages, and bleeding volumes, highlighting the need for targeted transfusion strategies to optimize blood resource use and improve safety.
