Impact of Cooling Strategies on Transfusion Requirements in Aortic Hemiarch Surgery.

Vallabhajosyula and colleagues saw that DHCA patients were almost twice as likely to receive blood products compared with MHCA. 4 Keenan and colleagues reported modest differences with DHCA patients requiring one additional unit of plasma compared with MHCA. 3 Conversely, Tsai and colleagues saw no differences. 15 These largely negative to mildly significant findings are consistent with our results indicating MHCA itself may not have a large, clinically relevant impact on transfusion requirements.
