Abstract
- Blood transfusion is indicated the surgical patient to maintain circulating blood volume, provide adequate oxygenation, and maintain clotting factor levels. Anesthesiologists should known the time and vloume of blood transfusion in order to carry out transfusion effectively. We measure the amount of transfused blood and plasma expander used during general or spinal anesthesia surgery for four years(from Jan. 1977 to Dec. 1980) and obtained the following results. The total amounts of transfused blood were 6563 pints and those of plasma expander were 1769 bottles. The compansated amounts to blood loss were average 1044 ml in each case. The amounts of transfused blood used in each surgical dept. were different. The thoracic surgery department used the most averaging 4.76 pints and least in urologic dept. at 1.48 pints. The number of operations increased year after year but the average amount of transfused blood showed a decreasing tendency and that of plasma expander showed increasing tendency. The average compensated amounts for blood loss among the following operations were 831ml in a hysterectomy, 1089ml in a nephrectomy, 2244ml in a lobectomy, 1165ml in a craniotomy and 1313ml in a intramedullary nailing.
