Economic impact of inappropriate blood transfusions in coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Am J Med. 1993; (5): 509-14
In addition to historically important issues of blood inventory and blood safety, the costs of blood transfusion are anticipated to have an increasingly important impact on transfusion practices. To address this, we analyzed costs of blood support given to patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, along with costs of blood components whose transfusions were identified to be unnecessary.
