Abstract: Cardiac surgery is associated with high risk of perioperative blood loss leading to hemodynamic instability, which frequently warrants fluid replacement, pharmacological therapy or transfusion. Regardless of an association of as little as 1-2 blood units with a dramatic increase in morbidity and mortality, transfusion is still widely administered. Despite recent guidelines there is still little consensus on blood transfusion thresholds and the implementation of multidisciplinary patient blood management programs, has not led to convincing effects as RBC transfusion is still a frequent option in cardiac surgery.
