Reference EntryDOI

Anti-fibrinolytic use for minimising perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion

TL;DR: Data from the head-to-head trials suggest an advantage of aprotinin over the lysine analogues TXA and EACA in terms of reducing perioperative blood loss, but the differences were small.
Reference EntryDOI

Cell salvage for minimising perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion

TL;DR: The results suggest cell salvage is efficacious in reducing the need for allogeneic red cell transfusion in adult elective cardiac and orthopaedic surgery and the methodological quality of trials was poor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transfusion triggers: a systematic review of the literature.

TL;DR: The limited published evidence supports the use of restrictive transfusion triggers in patients who are free of serious cardiac disease, however, most of the data on clinical outcomes were generated by a single trial, and need to be tested in further large clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

The safety of aprotinin and lysine-derived antifibrinolytic drugs in cardiac surgery: a meta-analysis

TL;DR: Either tranexamic acid or epsilon aminocaproic acid should be recommended to prevent bleeding after cardiac surgery to avoid an increased risk of myocardial infarction with use of aprotinin compared with the lysine analogues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pre-operative autologous donation for minimising perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion.

TL;DR: Although the trials of PAD showed a reduction in the need for allogeneic blood the methodological quality of the trials was poor and the overall transfusion rates (allogeneic and/or autologous) in these trials were high, and were increased by recruitment into the PAD arms of the Trials.
