研究概览
简要总结
- We have previously reported the results of the primary and secondary outcomes of a randomized study aiming to investigate the impact of a restrictive transfusion protocol on the magnitude of reduction in blood transfusion in a typically mixed general surgery population subjected to major abdominal surgery.
- The main finding of that study was a reduction in red blood cell usage with the implementation of a restrictive transfusion regimen. This was achieved without adversely affecting clinical outcome in the population studied.
- The aim of this secondary analysis performed on a subgroup of 20 patients from the original study was to determine whether there are any differences in the postoperative immunologic response, as expressed by the production of inflammatory mediators, between a restrictive approach to red cell transfusion and a more liberal strategy.

研究组 & 干预措施
restrictive transfusion strategy
Patients allocated to the restrictive transfusion strategy were transfused only when their hemoglobin concentration decreased below 7.7 g d dL-1 and were then maintained at hemoglobin concentrations between 7.7 and 9.9 g d dL-1.
干预措施: restrictive transfusion strategy (Procedure)
liberal transfusion strategy
Patients assigned to the liberal strategy were transfused when their hemoglobin concentration fell below 9.9 g dL-1, aiming at maintaining hemoglobin at or above 10 g dL-1.
干预措施: liberal transfusion strategy (Procedure)
结局指标
主要结局
The number of units transfused per patient as well as the incidence of blood transfusions in each transfusion strategy group (restrictive versus liberal)
时间窗: first five postoperative days
次要结局
- time of initial mobilization postoperatively(first five postoperative days)
- time of first liquid food intake(first five postoperative days)
- time of first solid food intake(first five postoperative days)
