Post-operative transfusion
With regards to transfusion group A received a mean of 0.87 units of
packed red cells, 0.44 units of FFP and 0.16 pools of platelets per
patient, whereas group B received 0.67 units of packed red cells, 0.69
units of FFP and 0.23 pools of platelets per patient. There was no
significant difference between packed red cell and platelet transfusion
between the 2 groups (p 0.178, and 0.097 respectively), however group B
had a significantly lower number of units of FFP transfused (p 0.015).
