Disease relevance of Blood Loss, Surgical

• Use of DDAVP for management of surgical hemorrhage from a Doberman pinscher with von Willebrand's disease [1].
• RESULTS: Anaemia may result from frequent blood sampling, gastrointestinal bleeding, surgical blood loss, impaired erythropoeitic response, and nutritional deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12 and folate [2].

High impact information on Blood Loss, Surgical

• These levels were measured by the ethanol method and surgical blood loss, as determined by a photometer [3].
• CONCLUSION: The use of preoperative EPO with a preoperative increase in Hct results in an increased postoperative Hct after a surgical blood loss [4].
• Effect of haemodilution with diaspirin cross-linked haemoglobin on the oxygen reserve in a rodent model of surgical blood loss [5].
• Anhepatic t-PA levels could be predicted based on preoperative liver function and surgical blood loss, which acted as an alternate t-PA clearance mechanism [6].
• Blockade of protein C activation reduces microvascular surgical blood loss [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Blood Loss, Surgical

• After early hopeful reports, the ability of desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) to substantially reduce post surgical hemorrhage has been questioned [8].
• We conclude that dextran and hydroxyethyl starch can be used safely in a dose of 20 ml/kg in component therapy of surgical blood loss, provided that haematocrit is kept at an acceptable level, attention is paid to the postoperative hypoproteinaemia, and the patient has a normal haemostatic function preoperatively [9].
• Regression analysis was used to determine whether any significant interactions were present between ketorolac and donor age, sex, weight, estimated surgical blood loss, or operative time in terms of its effect on renal function [10].
• The preoperative administration of danaparoid does not increase surgical blood loss compared with warfarin [11].
• CONCLUSION: In our study, surgical blood loss was the same for both anesthetic agents overall, but propofol appeared to offer an advantage in terms of subjective improvement in operating conditions, particularly in the ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses [12].

Biological context of Blood Loss, Surgical

• The effectiveness of general prophylactic use of desmopressin, in order to diminish surgical blood loss and transfusion requirements, has not been proven, except in patients with known bleeding diathesis caused by congenital or acquired haemostatic disorders, e.g. in those taking aspirin [13].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Blood Loss, Surgical

• The prostate size was measured by transrectal ultrasonography, the surgical blood loss was measured by a HemoCue photometer, and fluid absorption was determined by the ethanol method [14].
• Options for alleviating perioperative anemia include minimizing surgical blood loss, blood transfusion, supplementation with hematinics, such as iron and folic acid, and treatment with recombinant human erythropoietin [15].
