Characterization of Blood Components Prepared From Whole-Blood Donations After a 24-Hour Hold With the Platelet-RichPlasma Method
This study compares the in vitro quality of blood components prepared from WB stored for 8 and 24 hours at room temperature before processing with the PRP method.
First Clinical Experience With the Air Purge Control and Electrical Remote-controlled Tubing Clamp in Mini Bypass
The air purge control, in conjunction with the electrical remote clamp, is a valuable safety feature in mini bypass, enhancing patient safety and user friendliness while providing a level of safety equivalent to those of conventional bypass systems.
Applications of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in Contemporary Pediatric Dentistry
Current evidence and understanding of bone science recognize the pivotal role of growth factors in all the aspects of bone grafting and regeneration.
Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting. State of the Art 2006 and Results in Comparison with Conventional Coronary Artery Bypass Strategies
The decision between OPCAB and CCAB has to weigh several factors, including the likely risks and benefits of the two approaches for the particular patient, the experience of the surgeon, the complexity of the coronary disease, and the required coronary revascularization.
Pericardial Suction Blood Separation Attenuates Inflammatory Response and Hemolysis After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
We investigated various indicators of inflammation and blood cell activation associated with CPB and re-transfusion of PSB during cardiac surgery.
Platelet Content and Growth Factor Release in Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Comparison of Four Different Systems
We investigated the performance of Vivostat PRF Preparation Kit(R), PCCS Platelet Concentrate Collection System(R), Harvest(R) SmartPReP 2 APC 60 Process, and Fibrinet(R) Autologous Fibrin & Platelet System.
Early Implant Loading in Severely Resorbed Maxilla Using Xenograft, Autograft, and Platelet-Rich Plasma in 97 Patients
We studied the reconstruction of the maxilla with the simultaneous placement of International Team for Implantology (ITI) implants with the combined use of a small amount of intraoral autogenous bone providing the necessary viable stem cells, and a larger amount of xenogenic bone used as a scaffold and a purely autologous platelet concentrate providing the growth factors for optimal bone formation.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Does Not Improve Bone Regeneration Around Peri-Implant Bone Defects-A Pilot Study in Dogs
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the influence of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on bone regeneration in dehiscence-type bone defects around dental implants.
Effects of Cell Saver Autologous Blood Transfusion on Blood Loss and Homologous Blood Transfusion Requirements in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery
In this randomised controlled study we investigated the effects of autologous cell saver blood transfusion on blood loss and homologous blood transfusion requirements in patients undergoing CABG on- versus off-CPB.

How much is bad? Any transfusin that could be avoided is bad. That is probably about half of all transfusions.

Does it seems that your program over-transfuses ? Does your OR team actively work together cohesively with a multi-disiplinary goal in avoiding giving the patient any blood products ... or do the big three (Surgeon, Anesthesia and Perfusion) live in three different worlds and blood product usage doesn't seem to be important.
