Transfusion With Washed RBC
Subject assigned to this arm will be transfused with washed RBC Washed RBC: There is no pre-set dosage, frequency and duration for transfusion with washed RBC. It all depends on the conditions of patients during and after surgery. As circumstances arise, the physician will request needed washed RBC for the subject.
Transfusion With Unwashed RBC
Subjects assigned to this arm will be transfused with unwashed RBC Unwashed RBC: There is no pre-set dosage, frequency and duration for transfusion with unwashed RBC. It all depends on the conditions of patients during and after surgery. As circumstances arise, the physician will request needed unwashed RBC for the subject.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Within 30 days after CABG surgery

All clinical non-serious adverse events reported in the clinical chart were recorded in the study's data files. This type of events, defined as Non-Serious Adverse Events or just Adverse Events (AEs) were categorized into 5 groups: (1) Cardiovascular / respiratory; (2) renal; (3) neurologic (CNS); (4) infections; and (5) other. For each participant, the outcome measure was defined as the number of AE's he or she experienced during his/her hospital stay.
