| Popis: | Cardiac surgeries are associated with high rates of bleeding and consequently with high rates of allogeneic transfusion. Patients with left ventricular dysfunction usually present a higher incidence of complications after cardiac surgery, including low output syndrome and organ dysfunction. It is a matter of controversy whether this subgroup of patients need higher hemoglobin levels to optimize oxygen delivery. We aimed to evaluate the association of transfusion with worse outcomes in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. |
