More than a "stodgy old coot", it seems that the old problem of poor communication rears its ugly head. Everyone can agree intellectually that over use of transfusion is bad, however there are unfortunately a disagreement on "how much is bad" and there is unfortunately NOT a united front on reduction of bank blood products. Everyone wants "someone else" to look at the problem!

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.

I may be posting this on an incorrect forum but I would like to know if there is a limit to the number of times one can sit for the boards. Many perfusionists graduated from their programs several years ago. Is there a refresher course that is available for pre-test study or possibly sample tests?
Autotransfusion With Cell Saver for Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery: A Randomized Trial
Off-pump coronary surgery reduces transfusions, however, many patients still receive blood. This trial aims to clarify the effect of using a cell saver intraoperatively.
