About this study

Official title: Utilization of the Quantra QPlus System to Guide the Management of Blood Product Transfusions in Cardiac Surgery Patients: Effects on Clinical and Economic Outcomes

Single center retrospective study evaluating the impact of using the Quantra QPlus System to guide transfusion decisions on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC) implemented the Quantra QPlus System to aid in their efforts to effectively reduce the transfusion rate of allogenic blood products and improve outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Use of the Quantra to guide decisions related to the use of blood products in cardiac surgery patients began in 2019. In this retrospective study, YRMC evaluated the impact of using the Quantra QPlus System to guide transfusion decisions on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
