Salvaged Red Blood Cell Transfusion During Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Operations

簡要摘要

The purpose of this study is to prospectively study the safety of salvage red blood cell (sRBC) transfusion during pancreatic surgery. Primary Objective: 1. To summarize rates and timing of septic adverse events (AE) for patients who receive sRBC or aRBC transfusions within 72 hours of peri-operative transfusion. 2. To summarize rates and timing of transfusion related AEs for patients who receive sRBC or aRBC transfusions within 72 hours of peri-operative transfusion. 3. To summarize rates and timing of AEs in the first 7 post-operative days. Secondary Objectives: 1. To summarize the number of units of aRBC transfused post operative day (POD) #0 after sRBC transfusion in the operating room. 2. To summarize the number of units of aRBC transfused POD#1-7 after sRBC transfusion the operating room, in the absence of overt post-operative hemorrhage.
