Summary

In cardiac operations under cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB), monitoring of brain tissue oxygen saturation with infrared spectrophotoscopy leads to a reduction of the number of packed red cell(PRC) transfusions during the period of extracorporeal circulation.

Conditions

  • Blood Transfusion
  • Cardiac Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Brain tissue oxygen saturation monitoring

Brain tissue oxygen saturation monitoring with infrared spectrophotoscopy

PROCEDURE

Transfusion according to the anesthesiologist's judgement

Transfusion if hemoglobin is between 5.5-7 mg/dl
