Use of a Massive Transfusion Protocol in Nontrauma Patients: Activate Away
The current study was designed to investigate whether a massive transfusion protocol could be used effectively in general medical/surgical patients without detrimentally impacting resource allocation.
TEG-guided Resuscitation is Superior to Standardized MTP Resuscitation in Massively Transfused Penetrating Trauma Patients
In this study we hypothesized that TEG-directed resuscitation is equivalent to massive transfusion protocol resuscitation.
Low Hemorrhage-Related Mortality in Trauma Patients in a Level I Trauma Center Employing Transfusion Packages and Early Thromboelastography-Directed Hemostatic Resuscitation with Plasma and Platelets
This was a prospective study of adult trauma patients admitted to a Level I trauma center. Demography, Injury Severity Score (ISS), transfusion therapy, and mortality were registered. Hemostatic resuscitation was based on a massive transfusion protocol encompassing transfusion packages and thromboelastography (TEG)-guided therapy.
Combination Therapy of Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Hydrogel in Muscle Regeneration
In this study, we determined whether the combination therapy using human adipose-derived stem cells (h-ADSCs) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) incorporated into hydrogel could enhance muscle regeneration in a muscle laceration animal model.
Influence of Tranexamic Acid on Postoperative Autologous Blood Retransfusion in Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In this study, we hypothesized that adding tranexamic acid (TXA) to a restrictive blood transfusion protocol would reduce the need for postoperative autologous blood retransfusion in primary knee and hip arthroplasty.
PHD2 Silencing Enhances the Survival and Paracrine Function of Transplanted Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in Infarcted Myocardium
We studied if and how Prolyl hydroxylase domain protein 2 silencing in human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) enhances their cardioprotective effects after transplantation into infarcted hearts.
Processed Residual Pump Blood in Cardiac Surgery: The Processed Residual Blood in Cardiac Surgery Trial
This study seeks to establish if processing residual CPB volume with ultrafiltration reduces homologous blood transfusion and bleeding.
