This study does suggest that better means of identifying the need for transfusion are needed and that blindly transfusing to an arbitrarily set (and high) Hb may be detrimental.
Excessive uterine distension increases the risk of bleeding and the need for transfusion.
Maternal morbidity, including febrile morbidity, and the need for transfusion or hysterectomy may be reduced with a trial of labor.
One of the main factors that contributes to the need for transfusion in the surgical patient is excessive blood loss.
Outcome variables included uterine rupture or dehiscence, hemorrhage >1000 mL, hemorrhage >2000 mL, need for transfusion, chorioamnionitis, endometritis, and length of hospital stay.
This finding suggests a new strategy for future trials in the ICU: utilizing tissue oxygenation/microcirculatory parameters to determine the need for transfusion rather than largely arbitrary hemoglobin concentrations.
Infection rate, estimated blood loss, need for transfusion, and length of postoperative hospital stay were compared to maternal outcomes from 52 nonlaboring patients who underwent nonemergent primary cesarean delivery of singleton fetuses during the same time interval.
Maternal outcome variables analyzed included eclampsia, abruptio placentae, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, pulmonary edema, pleural effusion, ascites, acute renal failure, liver hematoma, need for transfusion of blood products, cesarean delivery, and death.
Demographic data, (anti- coagulation stanti- coagulation transtatusn were ando aneedzed.
Second, short nails have demonstrably less blood loss and need for transfusion [13, 14].
Reducing iatrogenic blood loss may reduce the risk of developing anaemia and possibly the need for transfusion.
